‘D’ P farting while he’s prepping food

He’s in the kitchen chopping meat and just let out 2 enormous farts (and quite deliberately, not like there was nothing he do about it)- doesn’t care and doesn’t think it’s a big deal. He’s in the kitchen prepping food,
Am I being unreasonable to not want to eat with him now. I find when he does this sort of thing that it’s so disrespectful and just unpleasant.

Was it on the divorce petition? Divorce on the grounds of your unreasonable behaviour ‘farting at Centre Parcs’ 😃

That would have made it much more fun!

I was with my ex for 9 years. Once finally got the courage to fart in front of him whilst on a walk in Center Parcs. He called me disgusting and I never did it again.

Here lies my fart trauma.

I love that some people don’t fart in front of their partners. Sometimes I voice note my farts to my husband so he doesn’t have to miss out.

😆😆😆 My daughter does that to me all the time 😆

OP, he sounds rough.
Are you really suited?
There is a difference between discretion and celebrating being uncouth.

ObieJoyful · 27/12/2024 21:00

Nothing more satisfying than a fulsome fart.

How do you know we’re not preppers, and he was farting all over my emergency supplies?

OP each and everyone of your replies is making me laugh so much. Keep it coming

We always used to call them trumps when I was growing up - maybe a regional thing. Makes sense as it is basically a trumpeting-like sound, which archaically used to be contracted to just 'trump'.

I remember my surprise when I first heard folk from the north west talking about 'having a brew' and asking others if they would like one - I was both relieved and a bit disappointed when I realised that they were just talking about a cup of tea!

During recent years, for fairly obvious reasons, ‘trump’ has become an increasingly appropriate name for the emission of noxious gases!

I love this website 😂😂😂😂 everyone farts, its not a big deal.

I fart all the time, always have. I don't/can't burp so I feel I fart double the amount. It wouldn't be possible for me to leave the room.

If I was going to be offended by farting ( which I'm not ) I think I would be more offending farting in bed rather than copping food.

Just to clarify, I do both. So does DP.

@mrstinsle I can’t burp either and fart twice as much as anyone else :D

Caswallonthefox · 27/12/2024 15:31

I could understand all the negativity to farting if he was cooking naked because obviously, the particles are free flying.
But if he's wearing clothes, then there's at least 2 layers between said fart and the outside world. Therefore particles are filtered. And he's facing away from the food so no contamination.
can you tell I'm bored.

Bfmamma · 27/12/2024 15:29

You wouldn't survive 5 minutes in our house 🤣💨

sweeneytoddsrazor · 27/12/2024 15:11

I bet loads of the blokes that fart will have watched their partner shit themselves whilst giving birth.
Farting is a natural bodily function same as sneezing or coughing.

Freshflower · 27/12/2024 14:51

Nothing wrong with good wet fart , we find them funny in our house but I do get doing it while preparing food , I'd be a bit put off too. Every fork full I'd be thinking of the rancid smell of the fart

That's wrong of you on so many levels.

That was meant to quote this:

😆😆😆I must admit I've been known to do this as I get out of a lift 😆

Kind of spoiled the attempted joke without it Grin

At least the OP calls them farts, and not botty-burps, or windy-pops, or any of the other appallingly twee names some people use.

She’s still being U to object to kitchen farts from a dh who’s prepping food, though. If he was just helping himself to a beer from the fridge while she was slaving away, IMO that’d be a different matter.

My dad’s favourite trick actually was to drop a silent but deadly in Asda right next to the meat aisle. He stand for a minute to let it out and then leg it. He said ‘they’ll spend ages looking for what’s gone off!’ My mum worked there and they’d been dicks to her once so that was his petty revenge.

Classy.

He never claimed to be.

ChristmasKelpie · 27/12/2024 11:39

OP i hope you never eat out or have takeaway.

The very act of getting up off the sofa is what would make me push it out - not sure whether it's just the angling of my body or nature's little turbo boost towards the energy used in being upstanding.

Oh... that's just reminded me of a woman who was resident in a care home I worked in. She used a stand aid to help he stand up from her armchair, but always farted as she stood up. She said the little blast of wind propelled her up. She was mega posh and very 'proper' so it caught me totally unawares the first time. She was brilliant.

Lavenderblossoms · 27/12/2024 11:10

.... the farts won't contaminate your food. Grow up. It's a bodily function.
