Annoyed at partner for farting next to me

This

Some people will be fine with it, some won’t! But you’ve told him no!

He sounds really immature and not just from farting. You're about to have a baby with what sounds like a man child. You have to nip this in the bud as it'll only escalate with lack of sleep once baby arrives.

Dont allow his mother to talk to you like that more so in your own home. He also needs to speak up.

Passion killer. This guy is a neanderthal

Fart in his mouth. TRUST me, he won't do it EVER again.

Easy fix with the farting, air freshener, everything he farts spray him, fabrese is the best I found as it sticks to the skin, how do I know? Hubby did it once and saw my reaction so did it again, got the air fresher, never did it again.
MiLs can be tricky my first one was a nightmare, the second one is brilliant, but I did learn to stand my ground after the first one! Stand your ground with her, if she won't listen walk away from her,until she does listen

Farting in your personal space is disrespectful and you can clearly tell him. He holds the cards though as you're pregnant with his child and the ship has sailed on him having any incentive to be reasonable. Is his behavior indicative of general disrespect?

OP clearly states that she appreciates that farting is necessary but prefers some distance. Surely that's normal?

Anyone that's calling her ridiculous are you all genuinely unphased by your romantic partner behaving like Jimmy Kranky and finding his own farts hilarious? How about a dutch oven under the duvet, with him chortling like something out of Viz? Farting in the car and laughing? Boys will be boys eh.....

Yes we all fart. We all know this is a bodily function. However, we do not all look our partner dead in the eye and push one out next to them on purpose, then laugh. Or maybe you all do. Maybe it's me that's weird to find that a totally unattractive trait.

The lecture I went to about farting at uni was very interesting… men are bloody immature creatures. A decent fart for some men in badge honour… it’s gross.
The thing wouldn’t be that that would upset me it would be the letting his mum criticise your home, he needs to tell her to stop,

This is peak Mumsnet

I hope your unborn child isn't male. If so you should perhaps be forewarned that at around age 6/7 they become obsessed with talking about farts/poop and it's absolutely hilarious in their little minds. And long before that time they carry out normal bodily functions without considering how you may feel about changing their nappy, cleaning up vomit etc. I worry that you're very unprepared if you can't handle your husband farting.

In this example ^^ YABU.

Your mother in law was annoying you, so you had a go at your partner and said 'nasty things' about his mum to him?

I'd have a go at someone if they said nasty things about my mum, frankly. Yeah, she's annoying but I'd expect my partner to chip in and say 'Right, everyone go and sit down now please, because I need the kitchen to myself now to get this done', not to say nothing and then shout at me instead.

The farting thing - if he genuinely is deliberately coming up to you and farting on purpose just to annoy you - is out of order.

No, i said her reaction to it was Precious.. but to tell him to grow the fuck up

edited to correct myself.

you absolutely can get a word in! You speak over her!! If necessary you tell her to be quiet and listen.

The farting I would dislike but I think the issue is more with the fact he has no respect for you. He knows you dislike farting but forces them out when he is near you.

He is also happy to let your in laws disrespect you in your own home.

Do not have anymore children with this man.

I don’t think YABU about the farting. He’s obviously got to do it but it’s very immature and disrespectful of him to purposely give you the benefit! His mum was out of order but he should have been telling her that.

Deliberately farting near/on people and thinking it’s funny is what little boys do, not grown men. He has zero respect for you and sounds like both a man child and a mummy’s boy that will always put her first. Frankly, yabu to be pregnant by such an immature twat.

He won’t get better and he won’t be a good father. You need to start thinking now about how you want to manage things.

I'm sorry but would you rather he was in pain than pass wind? It's excruciating holding it in.

This also reinforces why I have no intention of a relationship, no one would ever tolerate my IBS.

He sounds like a disgusting disrespectful pig.
Its not a sudden development.
He wants to make it very clear how little you and your feelings matter.

I'm so sorry OP, but having a child with a pig never ends well.
Keep your family and friends close, you are going to need them.
Good luck.

Hang on, I though it was just farting and not the end of the world? Make your mind up. Is it totally normal or is she leaving him because he simply farted?

It is actually if he's that gross.

You can leave whenever you like.

You’re projecting and don’t seem to have the OP properly. He’s being gross and disrespectful and clearly doing it deliberately. Why should the OP feel any shame?

I don't think not forcing out flatulence in your wife's direction while laughing, is the bar for being a model man. But we all have our own expectations.

Oh yes, just leave him while she’s in the third trimester of pregnancy. Wonderful advice.

I take it people aren't reading the OP properly again? She's said she doesn't like people farting right next to her, but can cope with it if they're further away, her childish idiot of a boyfriend is doing it deliberately to wind her up! If he carries on like that he's going to shit himself.

@SharpLily The 'shame on you' is a bit much.

Rein it in, there's a difference between body shaming your daughter and not wanting your romantic partner to lift a cheek and fart on you and laugh.
