Husbands Farting and What to Do

I don't mind my DP farting infront of me at all. I can't imagine making him leave the room everytime he farts in his own home but...If either of us have eaten anything that makes our wind smell disgusting then it's expected that you go to the toilet as no one should have to put up with another person's smell!

As for the skid marks and shitty underpants, just ask him how he would feel if he went to the toilet and you'd left it a mess after a particularly heavy period. How would he feel if he had to clear that up? That should make him think about what he is expecting you to do everyday.

I had an ex who used to do this, although not so much with the follow through. I was made to feel as if I couldn't take a joke if I said anything. It was a minor but significant reason among the many reasons why I left him. I know it sometimes can't be helped but to keep doing it on purpose to annoy someone else is uncouth and dirty.

I believe a no fault divorce is on its way. Good news for lots of people.

Stop cleaning up after him, for a start!

That’s revolting. And the “following through”... What’s all that about?? That is not actually normal. He should really seek medical advice about that.

Buy him some poo pants.

Show him his shit stains, point at them and say “clean it”.

Make him buy a new sofa.

I have IBS and fart all this time. Never shit my pants though. Even though it happens 20 times a day I still apologise to my Dp if its in front of him or in bed. Tbh sometimes the apology is hard to get out through the laughter in certain situations.

He sounds grim though, forcing it out on purpose and leaving you to clean up his mess (100% not envy).

Give him 1 chance to change his behaviour and if he doesn't then out the door he goes.

@CatchTheCulprit am sorry, But I'm goign to have the question 90% of mumsnet wants to know the answer to. Does your husband snap before farting?

(sorry I couldn't resist)

You haven’t actually answered, but I’m going to assume you’re new, since you don’t acknowledge the poo troll. It doesn’t actually matter if he has an underlying health problem, as he’s deliberately passing wind while with you, even though you hate it.

Laughter and fun is a very important part of a relationship, but only if both parties find the situation funny. If one person finds something funny, at the expense of another, then that’s bullying. If someone is deliberately doing something on a regular basis that causes another person to have a feeling of fear, distress, worthlessness or even revulsion, then that starts to cross the line of abuse. My ex partner enjoyed doing things to cause me discomfort and humiliation and that’s why he’s my ex. My late husband would never have deliberately inflicted those feelings on me and spent our marriage making me feel respected and worthy of love and that’s one of the reasons I had such respect and love for him. What kind of relationship do you want to settle for?

Has he stuck out his pinkie and asked you to "Pull that finger"?
If not you've still got quite a way to go in the farting stakes.

Changing what is available to eat may help.
Unfortunately my DH thinks farting in bed is hilarious.
His DF thinks fart jokes are the best, does not understand that this is not the case in other families.

I’m a child that finds farting hilarious - but it’s not remotely funny when you’re squeezing one out not only on purpose but also knowing it really upsets your other half. And shitting yourself?! I don’t really have words for that. That’s happened to me once, I was heavily pregnant and also very ill. I was mortified.

You probably can’t cite farting on a divorce petition - but you can cite irrevocable differences - and in this case, there’s no point being married to someone that makes you feel sick to be around.

I would genuinely tell him that. If you can, move into the spare room as you find him disgusting and be very clear that it’s this issue that is going to cause the irretrievable breakdown of your marriage.

If it wasn’t for your comment about the mum and dad doing it I’d think you were married to an ex boyfriend of mine. He also used to do this, and would also pick his arsehole and sniff his crusty fingers and of course not wash his hands. Absolutely vile.

Does he have a bowel problem, as in IBS, or does he eat curry and sprouts all the time. ? Or is he just one of those people,who can fart on cue, for entertainment value,

I would throw all his underpants away,and put plastic covering on the sofa, and tell him to clean his mess up in the toilet.

1. Stop cleaning any mess he makes, make him see how revolting it/he is and make him clean up after himself the instant he makes a mess.

2. Cut all the white fluffy carbs out of his diet, no rice, potatoes, bread, cake etc.

My family decided to all have a go at low carb and the side effect of it was - no farting.

Sounds like could be IBS. I have suffred this and I did have the occasional "accident" in my pants as well as wind issues.

Though I do like what @Sunnytimesahead said about hanging up his skiddy pants in his mancave until he sees the error of his ways! evil

I have the same issue except for the follow through and skid marks. My husband thinks it's funny. He also now wants to eat super healthy with meals with lots of beans, such as red beans, butter beans etc. This means the farting is endless and stinks constantly. I've tried telling him but he doesn't get it. It sounds ridiculous but it's really affected our relationship because I don't want to be around him, I dont like sleeping in the same room as him because the smell wakes me up. And I dont find it attractive thus I don't want to be around him or intimate with someone who basically stinks of shit.

😂😂😂

If you do dump him OP can you brand him with a S for sofa shitter, I wouldn't want my single friends to end up with him.😂 I always fall for the trolls.
