DH farting

8 replies

I am so sick of DH's constant farting. He drinks nothing but fizzy drinks so I think that will not help and literally it is constant. I am sitting on the couch now and all I can hear from him is his backside. I know we all fart and it's natural etc and if was just a normal amount, fair enough. But God, it is so much and it is seriously giving me the ick but I really don't know what to say without offending him.

His behaviour is offensive. Don't keep quiet just because he might be offended.

Changing what you drink and going to the toilet when wind is an issue are perfectly reasonable things to ask and expect.

Just tell him it's gross! How could he possibly be offended when he is stinking out the whole room?! He might get pissy with you but it would be totally unjustified if he did. Only problem is I can't imagine he's going to modify his diet for you or leave the room every few minutes, especially if he's the type to be 'offended' when someone points out his shit behaviour.

He DGAF about offending you with his constant farting, why do you care about offending him.

I should add I mostly think farts are hilarious, but constantly? No. Fuck off and sort your diet out if you have to break wind constantly. I'm going to assume he works from home? Or does he hold them in all day at the office and unleash them at once on you when he's home?

He doesn't WFH and I do often wonder what he does at work.

He doesn't seem to feel the need to hold them in in company either so I will actually have to say to him if we are having guests, please no farting at the dinner table. I think he does it so often, he doesn't actually realise he is doing it.

I'm blaming the fizzy drinks as he has tried to stop them before and it does make a difference but then they creep back in again.

He's offending you!

Maybe say "do you know what DH? When you sit there merrily farting away like warthog, it is the most unattractive and in fact repellent thing you do. If you're still even remotely interested in having sex with my in the future, then this stops now."

Doing it at the dinner table when you have guests is unhinged 😂 . Does he have learning difficulties or a maturity issue do you think.?!

just out of interest what job does he do.
I hope he isn’t a waiter or the like who crop dusts unsuspecting guests!

Thank you. You have made me see it for what it is. I guess I'm just so used to it to that it is only when it is really really bad that I notice. Thankfully they aren't smelly but it is the noise and the tilting of the buttocks to allow it to escape that makes me feel ill.
