farting in bed

(60 Posts)

aibu to really want to strangle my DP when he lets rip under the duvet. not only are his farts REALLY loud they STINK to high heaven. What makes it worse is that even if he is sleeping he still manages to giggle

Your DH has class at still finding his farts funny even when he's asleep smile

YAbu. Fight fire with fire, I can recommend a vindaloo to get you going.

hmm I might have been able to back you until about 2 weeks ago and now apparently it's me blush

I had to get out of bed and slink in with one of the kids during the week, as my dh's farts were so very very smelly. The stench was unholy and I couldn't breathe in a single other atom of it.
Rank!

Pull the duvet up over his head smile

My dh giggles in his sleep when he trumps too. I had to sleep with the window open the other night while it was snowing outside.

I can't believe my first ever comment on MN is about farts. Way to set the tone smile

I expected to read this and it be written by my DH blush

My dh's are super loud at night. And they stink. you wouldn't catch me doing that I sometimes get up and spray something nice. He doesn't giggle though!

My DH lets out a sigh of contentment after each fart, even in his sleep. Both the fart and this sigh irritate the hell out of me and he bloody stinks.

He then has the audacity to whinge if I spray on deoderant in the bedroom when I'm getting dressed in the morning.

A reverse kind of 'Pot, kettle, black'.

Are you married to teenagers?

They laugh at their farts?

Am I the only one with a husband who doesn´t fart in bed?

WelshMoth Sat 11-Feb-12 08:22:02

My dear MIL is 87, widowed now, but said to me lately, after a particularly loud trump from DH, that she'd never once heard her DH break wind. Never.

Makes no difference to DH. Sitting happily in his foul, warm cloud of gas. hmm

No you"re not, diddl. But be prepared to be called reserved and humourless and uptight if you think farting in front of your partner if you can possibly avoid it is inconsiderate and bad manners!

diddl Sat 11-Feb-12 08:26:32

Oh we do fart in front of each other-just not in bed.

Neither of us laugh about it either.

seeker Sat 11-Feb-12 08:42:08

Just me then!

ModreB Sat 11-Feb-12 08:45:23

I never fart under the duvet, neither does DH. We have the consideration to poke our bums outside the duvet before we let rip.

But we still stink, and TBH mine are more smelly than his. Mine are so bad that I sometimes wake myself up with the smell grin

diddl Sat 11-Feb-12 08:47:34

That´s the thing-as far as I know neither of us fart overnight iyswim.

Or if we do, it´s not loud/obnoxious enough to wake the other!

KittyFane Sat 11-Feb-12 09:11:10

Windows open in the freezing weather here too. Makes me feel sick.

grin

FutureNannyOgg Sat 11-Feb-12 10:46:41

The other night I came to bed after DH and the stench was so bad I went and slept in the spare room. I felt bad for DS (18mo) who was in bed with him, but it was everyone for themselves.

FabbyChic Sat 11-Feb-12 10:56:10

Clearly has no respect for you at all

diddl Sat 11-Feb-12 11:24:39

Perhaps some of you/your husbands need a change of diet?grin

pictish Sat 11-Feb-12 11:28:19

That's true - the night I made good my escape, he smelled as though he'd been eating burnt tyres!

seeker Sat 11-Feb-12 11:31:36

Seriously -this is such bad manners! I just don't begin to understand!

How is it bad manners if your asleep? <mind boggles>
