New DP overreacting?!!

Christ this thread is awful. There's no way I could live with someone I had to be embarassed to fart around. As for only doing it in the toilet, how the hell do you control it in that way? I never fart deliberately but there's no way I can always anticipate and plan around them.

My father is one of those who pretends bodily functions don't happen, particularly for women. It meant I had to grow up being paralysingly embarassed about periods and poo too. I do not want my daughters growing up scared to ever admit they have to poo, bleed and fart.

For all those so disgusted by it, try unclenching a bit. It's very relaxing.

Oh come on, it's a fart, stop clutching your pearls. Better out than in, as they say. I don’t fart in front of my dh but I see the funny side of it when one pops out.
Also is he 14?! Women don’t do that ? Okay 😆

I knew my DH was a keeper when, after he’d first cooked a meal for me, he put his arms around me from behind and I accidentally let a big one go. He pretended to have been blown across the room by it and said “I’d better not cook you that again!”

Not really it was more like mutually assured destruction.

We all fart as and when. Not out in public if possible or at least mostly out of earshot. But anyone who has suffered from IBS knows it’s just one of those things.

Yep, same here, loud and proud farters who find it funny. Sometimes if we’ve done a particularly hazardous one we invite the other to “drink that through your eyeballs”. It’s a great compatibility test as I couldn’t be doing with a fart prude. I’ll let rip in my own home whenever I like.

Good for them

They are. There wouldn’t be so many videos of dogs, horses and other animals farting on YouTube if they weren’t funny.

Yeah on reflection maybe a bit strong but I just came from a work site where they were basically having a farting competition after being on the beers all night yesterday.

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.

DH was present when I birthed his children, we are comfortable with each other and freely fart. They also escape DH when he turns over in his sleep.

I found that when I gave up wheat, I farted far less, far far less.

Shameful, disgusting, disrespectful…..bloody hell….over a fart.

Someone who threatens to dump you, for any perceived misdemeanour, isn’t a keeper.

Not a DP, it’s only two months

His reaction is poor. Regardless of whether he agrees with farting or not, the ultimatum is controlling. He could have just said to you that he prefers you not to fart around him

Ah, the regular fart thread, where the majority are “offended” by a bodily function.

Nothing wrong with lifting the sheets OP.

God. He's not one to have in the delivery room, put it that way. Ditch him.

Bit of a strong reaction 😳

Well, it is a natural bodily function and surprisingly enough women have these as well as men! We all make loads of gas every day as a by product of our digestive system and it has to go somewhere so the notion that anyone does or doesn't fart or burp is absolutely ridiculous. It can also be harmful to 'hold it in'. I get that it's not great to be in close proximity to someone who's doing it but we are all guilty at sometime or other. If he genuinely thinks that women don't do it then he must be a bit intellectually challenged - does he think we have different digestive systems? My husband has held my hand and cleaned up after me while in the throes of illness in Africa when my poor body was evacuating everything it could and I was losing consciousness. I would say that's the kind of guy who's a keeper - not someone who needs smelling salts because you farted.

What an odd non sense of humour

I don't know if I am weirdo. I don't fart deliberately in the company of other people indoors, not even my parents wife or children. However I do not also go to the toilet to fart. I just do it where it won't disturb someone else - if there is no one around, or in a different part of the house or outside etc. I have never found this onerous or a major inconvenience, with the possible exception of on an aeroplane where the pressure difference does things. I think people who openly and proudly fart in front of other people indoors are uncouth cunts. Irrelevant whether it is a man or woman.

My DH and DC’s are champion farters! It honestly doesn’t bother me and I think it’s really odd that people feel the need to go to the loo do do it in their own home.
I am a very civilised woman in a professional job and have equally civilised friends. We’re in our 50s and are at the point where we are fully accepting of farting as a natural bodily function and if we have to do it when we’re together, then we do. Obviously this is only with a select few close friends but I do appreciate that I have some where we are so comfy with each other that letting off a little puft is fine!

Oh yes. Trying not to think about what you would use the replies for!

😂😂

Farts are funny, sorry

Well…

Obviously men and women shouldn’t be held to different standards. And everyone accidentally farts “outloud from time to time” - the correct the to do is apologise if you do.

Deliberately farting in front of others is disgusting though, and disrespectful to the other person. It’s very easy to leave the room if you know you want to fart. And “forcing” out a fart is extra disgusting.

I voted YANBU due to the double standards but of course everyone should have some standards here.

I wouldn’t stand for the ultimatum though- “I’ll dump you if…” For that he’d be shown the door tbh

What an odd sense of humour.

This has had me crying with laughter this morning, thanks everyone. If my DH or I had to leave the room every time we’d be in and out like yo-yos and it would take twice as long to watch a film - the side effects of a high fibre diet obviously! P.S. we have a combined age of 121 and still find it hilarious….
