Husband farting is giving me the ick

I can’t stop laughing at the post about how no one farts in Europe. Sorry OP, no advice. Farting isn’t just a male thing though. I (a woman) have been the first to fart in front of a partner in pretty much all relationships. I grew up in a family where farts were funny. In my current relationship they’re a source of amusement particularly because, in addition to human farts, we have a very flatulent pug. Every time anyone farts we shout TAX (because Denmark has started taxing cow farts/agricultural emissions). Maybe you could impose such a tax on your DH?

I feel for him (and you). I'm the party pants in our house and hubby hates it.

Exactly! everyone sometimes gets wind- completely normal, but most people have the decency to leave the room to release it (go to the loo) or hold it in. If they didnt, every work place would permanently stink of cabbage and rotten eggs constantly- especially in small offices with lots of people.

It sounds to me like he enjoys doing it to get a reaction or thinks it's funny. Its just gross - noone wants to smell farts all the time and if its really that bad that he cant hold it in then he needs to see his doctor because its not normal to be gassy all the damn time and is a major warning sign of IBS or other things.

No he wouldn’t, but keeping it in is really uncomfortable.

If he’s doing it to annoy you that’s one thing, but he might have a genuine issue with his stomach/diet that needs to be addressed. Excessive wind can be a symptom of loads of digestive complaints.
i also fart a lot, my stomach is awful, I have tried so much and if I keep it in it comes out anyway and is really uncomfortable.

😂😂

Good grief - farting is a natural function. Do you seriously expect people to believe that you never fart?

If it's true then ask him to stop drinking beer and eating shit and to drink pints of water.

Yes, as pp have said, he would never do this in a work meeting, or in front of a super hot woman he wanted to sleep with. (If he would, then he actually has a medical problem that needs to be sorted).
So the issue really is his disrespect for you. I think you need to sit him down and explain this to him.

Even if he does need to do it a lot, he needs to do them internally or go to the bathroom. It's gross and would totally kill my attraction.
God the way some men expect us to want sex with them when they act like this

🤮

Honestly, why are you even still in a relationship with this guy?

Is this true or one of those odd threads?

If he doesnt force them out at work, or in front of friends, or in the pub, then he is showing how little he thinks of you. It's contempt. And it won't change.

Not being unreasonable. It’s vile. Honestly of course we all fart but in 30 years my husband has never farted in front of me! I’d like to say the same but sadly can’t 😂

Very occasionally is one thing. This is frequent and repeated. If the world was really full of people who can't possibly help it to the extent and frequency the OP describes, then every office, gym, bus, train, theatre would smell like Satan's privy. Yet somehow, other than the occasional whiff, they dont. Which suggests the vast majority of people are able to control it most of the time when they choose. It's entirely possible the OPs H is part of a tiny minority who passes through life sounding like the brass section of a particularly poor and maladorous orchestra, but unless he is ill or needs to rethink his diet, unlikely. And he clearly doesn't see it as a deeply embarrassing thing, at least not in front of his wife.

You don't like it and you've asked him not to do it around you. Nevertheless, he delights in doing it, forcing them out in your presence. Not at work, not at social gatherings ~ he reserves the smell from his bowels just for you. I'm guessing he didn't do it on the first date, either. He waited until marriage, because you're trapped, and now he can show his contempt for you. Would you divorce him because of this? He thinks not, and perhaps he's right. And if he is right, then there is absolutely nothing you can do about this. Just put up with it. You are agreeing never to be sure you can draw a clean breath around him. Think about if you can welcome this for the rest of your natural.

Yup.

Or a woman he found attractive

Ironic username alert 😀

"He certainly wouldn't do it in front of a woman whose opinion mattered to him."

Well said. This is the key point OP needs to ponder.

I'm incredibly farty but I can chose when and where I let go. In private.

This.
He has a fundamental lack of respect for you.
I would move to a spare bedroom.
Don't have children with someone who cares so little for you.
You will bitterly regret it.
He certainly wouldn't do it in front of a woman whose opinion mattered to him.
Yours no longer does and denying that reality will cost you.
He has checked out of your marriage.

My husband also farts a lot. I'm pretty sure it's something medical because he does it everywhere, not just round me, but he refuses to go to the doctor "because it's natural".
So no advice but huge sympathy.
I'm going to get some charcoal tablets but if your husband is doing it on purpose I'm not sure what to suggest

I meant that he can't help the need to do it. He can help where he does it of course.

Omg that's revolting,my ds would never have done that!
