New DP overreacting?!!

Nope.
Human bodies are fine, we're a "happy to be naked" house. We're also a "it's wildly inconsiderate to subject other people to your unpleasantness" house.
Same way as we pee in the bathroom and not the kitchen sink. No-one ever died from that either, it's still gross and I don't want it in my life.

Why?

I'm sure I read an almost identical thread not long ago. If not on MN then it was one of those random "who was in the wrong here" things that pop up on your FB feed. Same situation - woman used to having men farting around her, let one go herself and the partner was mortally offended.

I know right. It's only on Mumsnet that I see this. It's batshit. In real life, people generally crack one off when they need to. And they're certainly not scared to do so in their own home, just in case their precious partner dumps them. Good grief! Anyone who decided to threatened to dump me - if I farted - could get tae fuck! 😬

Ive been with my dh 27 years . I don't make a big thing about farting and usually don't fart too much , but sometimes just before going to sleep or first thing in the morning it happens . I certainly don't go running to the toilet to silently do it it shame with the door closed , it's natural & normal but I also don't think it's funny and don't laugh about it. Dh is the same .

Exactly! It's a slippery slope. A man who is so precious about a natural bodily function like a fart or a burp is a red flag. He will be disgusted by other natural things too, like vomit, and poo, and period blood. I would throw this one back @Nettlesal

.

You would think that this would be the fate of cows shut in a shed too. They’re famously farty

I bet you have, albeit in your sleep.

He's not the one for you.

I "dutch ovened" my husband very early on in the relationship and it brought us closer together😂

We've enjoyed a loud farty 21 years since.

Who the hell wants to have to watch when and how they trump for fear of offending?!

There was also a theory that dinosaurs died out due to producing too much methane. Farted themselves into extinction basically.

he sounds like a total bell end. not nice celebrating ones guffs too much but not a big deal

If ever I needed proof some people on here aren’t quite the full bag of shopping, it’s this thread.

At what point did the OP say she farted for comedy value?!? She was in bed and felt uncomfortable, so she farted? What’s wrong with that?! I suppose there are ppl here who’ve never farted in their lives are there ??

I bet they don’t poo either. Or belch?!

As for the DP saying it’s unladylike - it smells of posies when men fart does it?!?

The world really has gone mad!

I've been with DH 8 years and have 2 kids. We still don't fart in front of each other. How disgusting.

Well. Actually. There was a case in Eastern Europe - possibly Poland - where a man died after eating a lot of cabbage and sleeping in a small room with little airflow. He poisoned himself with his cabbagey farts.

Edited to say even though I read this story in a reliable source, Snopes says it’s not true. I don’t know but I hope it is.

I’m sorry, partner?! After 2 months?! 😂

Why are you calling him a hypocrite when he hasn't even done anything? It's your brothers, not your partner, who do this. So why are you calling your partner names?

30+ years and I've never done that in bed unless alone. I think DH would actually have dumped me.

Farting in private 🤣🤣

If I need to fart around my family, I fart. I don't make a song and dance about it but I wouldn't go to another room or hold it in 🤣 we all do it, we laugh, we move on.
Obviously I would try and hold it in when others are around but imagine hiding farts from someone you've been with for over a decade 🤣

Exactly this. No-one needs to walk around farting in public, but FFS if you can't fart in your own home, what is the world coming to?! I could never be with someone who went batshit and threatened to dump me if I farted in front of him again. Who does he think he is. What a diva! 😂

Also, I DO fart in public if I need to. Better out than in. 😆

His attitude about a bodily function is a worry. I wouldnt accept that. What happens if you are sick? Or not sick but have a period leak? Nope OTT reaction ..the comment about "women don't do that"....that's as ugly a thought as they come...he'd be done for me

Yeah dump him. Ridiculous to get so offended at a fart FFS! I always imagine the people who go all pearl-clutchy at farts are the same kind of people who have sex in the dark, under the covers, and wear marigolds. 😂

Having to remove yourself from your OWN chair in your OWN home to go to the bathroom to fart is utter madness! How do some people get through life? LMFAO! 😆

Really. If I feel one brewing, I can squeeze hard and make sure it's silent. If I got up to leave the room, it would (and has) escape noisily.

Quite, and in dribs and drabs too. A bit more escaping with each step you take. I’d rather get it over with quickly tbh.

It's only a fart. He needs to chill out. If you were gassing away all night and doing it deliberately I could understand his reaction but that doesn't sound like it's the case. I'd assume from this reaction so early on into the relationship that he could turn out to be a bit of a control freak or a bully later on.

I must be the minority here. Public, work anyone other than family or DP I keep respectful and try to avoid doing it in that company

but at home we fart in front of each other. We are comfortable around each other. It’s not deliberate it’s just nature. You fart in your sleep, so I imagine you’ve all done it before in front of your partner. Your body doesn’t wake you up for that.

"women don't do that" - he's a sexist pig. So it's OK for men, but not women?

And yes, we do. It's a normal bodily function. It's also not great for gut health over the longer term and can cause bloating.

This will be the start of controlling the behaviour of how he perceives a woman should behave, so I'd bin him.
