aibu to really want to strangle my DP when he lets rip under the duvet. not only are his farts REALLY loud they STINK to high heaven. What makes it worse is that even if he is sleeping he still manages to giggle

Mine does too... like a machine gun, 'rat-a-tat-tat-tat'... and giggles. Shock Oh the s-m-e-l-l... Angry

Sometimes he's so loud the dogs wake up and start barking. He'll blow himself out of bed one night... Hmm

We don´t make a habit of farting in front of each other-nor do we fart that often judging by this thread-but it seems really prissy to go to the bathroom all the time.

Farting is a competitive sport in our house. We often complement one another with the good old fashioned Yorkshire: "Good arse".

I think most people fart and let most of their gas out overnight. Symptom of being human. Might as well have a laugh about it.

Same here. Though admittedly the dog trumps (Grin) all.

Gross. Surely bad diets.
Ew.

FabbyChic · 11/02/2012 13:09

I dont agree that partners should fart in front of each other, its private like shitting you don't do that in front of each other do you, its a bodily function that needs to remain private. Shows a total lack of respect for each other to do it in front of each other.

diddl · 11/02/2012 13:17

Actually-probably TMI-but if I need to fart it´s generally an indication that I need to go to the toilet-so I would usually be in the bathroom.

We use the toilet in front of each other-not to the extent that we watch-but it´s no gig deal for someone to be on the toilet & someone else to be in the bathroom tbh.

Dh lifts a leg up when he farts, even when out. I cringe and hide. He only does it when he thinks no-one else is about but has been caught out recently and embarrassed himself. He's been a bit better but I bet it wont stop him. I wouldnt leave him for it tho.

GirlWithPointyShoes · 11/02/2012 13:30

Farts mean bad diet? What nonsense!

Fruits and vegetables will make you far more gassy that fish and chips. If I even look at a parsnip I need to fart.

It's a sign of good healthy bowls. The smellier the better. :o

GirlWithPointyShoes · 11/02/2012 13:31

Bowls?! Bowels.

trikken · 11/02/2012 13:34

On that note ive had to stop giving dh stuffing with his roast dinner as it has the worst effect on him.

BanditoShipman · 11/02/2012 13:40

Reality - I'm with you. I have explained that if he can't imagine daniel craig as bond doing it (ie farting / leaving skid marks in toilet) then he shouldn't do it. Non daniel craig behaviour = non sexy = less chance of a shag.

Good arse - Grin - not heard that one for a while.

I had a whole cauliflower cheese for tea the other night, followed by a tin of butter beans for lunch the next day.

I slept alone.

There was a thread a while ago where the OP would not have a poo whilst her husband was in the same house Shock

Me and my dp both fart in front of each other, and sometimes we laugh about it,Smile

pranma · 11/02/2012 15:01

We both fart as and when we need to,just as we cough. Both are natural functions. If we got up whenever we needed to fart we'd both be up and down like the vicar's knickers. Neither of us would fart in public but surely home is a place to be totally relaxed. One of our cats used to chew plastic bags which gave him dreadful wind. When it happened he would always glare at the nearest person and stalk out of the room wafting the ghastly stench with his tail.

Mine lifts up the duvet and wafts it and says 'Ere, smell that' then he marks it out of ten!

minimisschief · 11/02/2012 16:32

i guarantee everyone here farts in their sleep. so yabvu

madonnawhore · 11/02/2012 16:43

My BC farts freely in and out of bed. I jokingly tell him he's revolting but in truth I don't really mind. I try never to fart in front of him though, even though I know he wouldn't care if I did.

Normally I'd be way up on my high horse with you OP. But last Sunday morning we were in bed, he was awake and I was asleep and I woke myself up by doing a really loud fart. BF didn't know whether to be shocked or impressed. I was mortified Blush . Curse my bowels for betraying me!

madonnawhore · 11/02/2012 16:44

BC? BF obvs!

diddl · 11/02/2012 17:42

"Mine lifts up the duvet and wafts it and says 'Ere, smell that' then he marks it out of ten!"

Now that is revolting/childish-or do you not think so?

thecook · 11/02/2012 17:58

diddl - I completely agree. I have told him several times. He just laughs and occasionally gives his opinions on it as in 'Thats the roast parsnips or thats the liver and bacon'.

diddl · 11/02/2012 18:11

The thing is that although we do fart in front of each other, I would found that too much.

And I´d expect my husband not to do it any more tbh.

In fact if I thought he was remotely bothered by my farting in front of him I wouldn´t do it.

seeker · 11/02/2012 18:40

So let me get this straight-(I feel like an alien visitor!). You feel that you need to fart. Not a sudden, creep up on you and explode without warning sort of fart, but one you can feel coming. You're telling me that you don't leave the room or go to the loo or anything- you just cheerfully let it out when it comes? And your dps do the same? Anywhere in your house? Under any circumstances? At the dinner table, for example?
