Husband farting is giving me the ick

Eh? How is it weird? If you don’t fart you’re uptight? 😂😂😂😂. Heard it all now !

Having standards, self-respect and couth is not being "uptight."

I've never in my life heard a lover or any other male in my life do this. Nor they, me.

Never? That's so weird. I can't imagine being with someone so uptight.

This. My husband was similar but has cut out dairy and has made so much difference. Secondly, does he wolf his food down? I feel like the more work done in the mouth, the less is needed in the gut. My sympathy as I know how revolting this is!!

An ex boyfriend was like this. I hadn't been with him long and found it horrible especially as my previous partners didn't do it in front of me and I never do in front of others. This ex just found it funny. He even laughed when I explained that I wanted some mystery and spark in a relationship and that I didn't like the deliberate farting and burping. He wasn't laughing when I ended the relationship as I had the ick so badly I couldn't come back from it.

I agree you can definitely tell when someone is forcing them out.

It’s disgusting. Maybe he should check his diet as the smell is so bad, but I bet he doesn’t fart constantly around his boss.

You have me in fits of giggles

The tone reminds me of the recent nappy thread ....

He wouldn't so that anywhere near a pretty young girl at work.

I've been married many years and maybe heard my husband fart once and he's never heard me fart as both of us would leave the room.

Our diets and digestive systems are very good and speaking for myself farting is not a regular occurrence.

Yes I agree and sympathise with OP being grossed out and she should absolutely ask him to fart elsewhere, ideally out of smelling range.

My comment about being controlling was on the suggested convo tips by another PP. But also I don't agree that farting in the home and office are comparable really.

Oh FGS. Another thread where the OP posts the first post and then doesn't come back. 🙄

Yes of course! It's disrespectful for anyone to treat anyone else like this. Nobody is saying you must live in a home where you can't fart, they are saying go into another room and shut the door first.

I have always farted a lot and found the first few months of a relationship difficult because if I hold it in I get really uncomfortable. To those saying go the toilet it's not that simple, because when you get to the toilet it's gone back up and you can't do it. I'm lucky in that despite my excessive wind and IBS they rarely smell, possibly because I am vegetarian. One of the reasons I have stayed single for a long time is because I can't face going through all that again!

I would hate this. It's absolutely base. I've been with dh for 30 years and he's farted in front of me really rarely. He has a healthy diet and drinks a lot of water.

As per usual some ridiculous replies.

Apparently, if you dont want to deeply inhale your partner's smelly farts daily it means you dont love them, I presume that also applies to them burping in your face - you should relish that and consider it something beautiful or else you are "controlling". 😂

Those of you who think farting is a perfectly acceptable public activity-do you teach your children the same?

Obviously an accidental fart is often extremely funny. And there are obviously couples who don't mind. But if one of the couple doesn't like it, surely holding it in for 30 seconds isn't too much to ask?

Yes I would. Anyone who thinks it is appropriate to fart in a space shared by others deserves to be told it's not appropriate. I can come up with plenty of examples where it is perfectly acceptable to tell someone they are being inappropriate and not being considered controlling. Like a recent thread where husband was watching porn and masturbating while his young daughter was asleep next to him. Would you call his partner controlling for asking him not to do it? I hope not.
Every house has a toilet, go and fart there. Nobody is asking you to never fart but be a dear and not do it when I am standing next to you.

He should be able to have a window of opportunity to get to the toilet or at least stick his arse out an open door or window? It sounds like he must have a bad diet and gut health as I don't think very frequent smelly farting is normal.
I don't know if they work but you can get OTC wind tablets. Maybe a probiotic drink or yoghurt might help.
It is not nice and he does have some control over it. I don't fart in public, and if I feel windy at home I go immediately to the toilet, arse first away from anyone's nose. If possible!

everybody farts. The deadly smell is diet. Too much meat and animal products, not enough vegetables.

Oh come on. It’s clear what she’s said - he’s not farting normally like we all do and having a normal amount of respect about it. He’s acting like a repulsive dickhead. I fart. My DH farts. It’s fine. We also don’t make the house constantly stink to the point it upsets the other one.

Yes. I’m aware, thanks. I was agreeing with that part.

How do you stay with him? Or call him "dear/darling Partner"

Just the thought of it makes me so happy I am single

I had terrible gas when I was eating gluten. I didn't really think much of it until I went gluten free and the gas stopped.

If you are investigating dietary causes I just want to say please don't ever cut out gluten without first being tested for celiac. It's a simple blood test in the first instance.

Some people get awful symptoms and some none at all but if you're celiac you should never be consuming a single crumb of gluten ever again. If he removes it without testing he won't have a diagnosis and if he ever wants to pursue one will need to put gluten back into his diet for six weeks. This can be very difficult after removing it.
