Husbands Farting and What to Do

I have reached the end of my tether and find my Husband's farting repulsive. I have moaned and nagged and begged him to stop forcing one out as I find it revolting. He finds it funny. The state of his pants and shorts tell the tale and the other week he farted and followed through on the sofa. I know farting is a natural bodily function but FFS enough is enough. I don't know what to do to get through to him that this is just not on anymore.
Has he no respect? Is this the way he's been brought up or does he simply not care about my feelings? And don't ask me about cleaning the skid marks off the toilet every day. What the fuck do I do?

May I firstly Thankyou for making my evening..I am currently wiping away the tears from my eyes typing this....I think your husband needs to look at his diet....he needs lessons on how to clean the toilet after himself and also be made to wash his own skid marks off his underwear.....your poor soul, my heart goes out to you

No way would I be cleaning up after him, send him to do it every time. Disgusting. 🤮

He sounds disgusting...he shat himself on your sofa. He would be my ex husband.

This sounds vile. As others have said could it be a medical problem that the GP could advise on?
The toilet situation is difficult because you need to use it too so it needs to be cleaned after he’s used it. But immediately stop washing his clothes specifically his underpants. Does he realise about the skid marks?
Could you be creative with his skiddy pants (with industrial gloves on), gather up a selection of them and make them into some kind of revolting art installation. Place it in his man cave if he has one and see if that makes him see the error of his ways?!

Next time he leaves skid marks in the toilet (fucking revolting), drag his ass to the loo and shove his face down there.

Honestly, that's awful. Sorry, OP.

Unless it was medical or something he simply couldn’t control then this would be a deal breaker for me.

You can’t fancy someone when you have to clean their shitty pants!!!!!

Ok a grotty loo is sometimes part of a relationship and you throw a bit of bleach down and silently curse them.

But cleaning the PURPOSEFULLY shitty pants of a grown man? Jesus no.

He’s not even just farting is he - sounds like he’s got an issue here, he’s not cleaning himself properly or going to the loo properly. Has he expressed any worry about it?

It seems a trivial thing to end a relationship over but it’s not is it - it’s a grown man refusing to wipe his arse properly and laughing about it Confused

He should consider seeing his GP. He might have some dietary intolerances.

Farting is funny. Less so the following through though.

The state of his pants and shorts tell the tale and the other week he farted and followed through on the sofa.

I simply couldn't live with this. Unless he has a medical condition tell the filthy prick to stop it or find somewhere else to live.

Grim.

God, how disgusting. No advice but I would totally feel the same.

AbsolutePleasure · 04/07/2020 23:45

When did this start? It sounds like he has a health issue. Could the laughing be in embarrassment? can you get him to agree to see a doctor?

As the the shitty toilet and underpants - why are you cleaning them?

MiddlesexGirl · 04/07/2020 23:43

I've never understood why some people find this funny. Though I guess it's a way of hiding their embarrassment.
Vile habit.
