To think that if you're going to break wind, do it in private?

[ICameOnTheJitney]

I know you're going to say AIBU...some of you will act outraged that I don't think it's "normal" to fart in front of your oh. But think it's disgusting.

Dh's STINK and I have lost count of the times I have asked him to do it in another room...he never frigging does.

I'm in the dining room on the comp. he's in the sitting room watchingrtv...he came in, made a drink, farted and left! I told him off
WHY????? DOES HE DO THIS???

It's ranker than rank! I think people should do it in the toilet because it's related to shitting...in fact it is the brother of shitting....a fart is the SOUL of a shit expired prior to the actual shit....and they all belong in the TOILET AIBU???

See, I'd struggle here. I've had my intestines replumbed and also suffer from IBS. My closest friend and her DH NEVER fart in front of one another, been together about 25 years. If I took that stance, I'd barely see my DH! Certainly not sleep in the same bed!
I hate the way my body works, it's embarrassing and smelly and I'm sure DH is sick of it but it's taking a bloody long time to work out what triggers it.

wallacewindsock I love you! You sound like my fart twin

It's a fart get over it.

What an empty life you lead of you are able to dash to the loo every time you need to fart.

Haha "breaking wind".
How can you seriously expect someone to only fart in the toilet? Aren't you ever surprised by a little squeaker?
DP and I had been together about two weeks, went out in the evening together. I was still a little bit nervous so drank too much, he escorted me home, put me to bed, slept on the floor all night as he wanted to make sure I was okay. Told me in the morning that he hadn't slept a wink because I'd burped and farted in my sleep allll night long.
Poor bloke I'm amazed he stayed with me after that performance.

He's a keeper Elle!

Yanbu my oh Is the same it is disgusting- dont understand why people can't hold it in until they go to the toilet?!
There's a woman at my work who just sits the letting rip in the open plan office it is beyond gross!

LTB ?

We just fart! No performance or chat about it. My dc also fart with their other halves. You can't rely on getting to the loo every time. As I get older I find myself farting if I bend down to tie a shoe or if I stand up after sitting for a long time.
When my dgs was 3 he once told me Daddy had 'farty pants'. When I asked what he meant he solemnly explaind that all Daddy's pants had a special hole to fart through and when he grew up he would have farty pants too!
He hadn't realised that the fly on Daddy's boxers went at the front!!

OP - I agree with you. It's disrespectful to pollute the air someone has to breathe / taste.Obviously it's different if illness or disability or just a few accidental escapes happen but to intentionally come into a room you're in to release a stench is vile.
I suggest you find a really horrible cheap perfume and spray it over him so he tastes that when he next does it.

Most of the time my dps aren't too bad but the other day they reeked! So I asked him to go only fart in the garden

Just out of interest, when in public how do you know which farters are disgusting, and which ones have an illness that means they can't help it and it's therefore OK? Wishful- maybe the woman at your work has an illness and is too embarrassed to discuss it with colleagues?

farting isn't wrong - your pretentious...absolutely everyone does it - absolutely everyone has smelly ones at times

I remember this little ode from school...

beans beans they're good for your heart
the more you eat the more you fart
the more you fart the better you feel
so lets have beans with every meal

OP your husband sounds like a monster. I think you should LTB.

Then once you've left him, go back and burn his farty house down. It's the only language his sort understands.

YABU.

DP farts constantly, but today, it's only been once. I'm waiting for a mass succession of farts to begin pretty soon.

Me and DH fart in front of each other but when they're eggy smelly we go and fart in another room

YADNBU. It's disrespectful and rude to fart in the company of others.

"Go back and burn his fatty house down"

Sounds like it'd go off like a bomb.

Damn you - tea all over Ipad bungmean

YABVU

Farts are natural and mine smell lovely

I think people that object to them have Ishoos.

No way would I leave the room to fart and if my OH expected me to Id ltb.

When I went on a low carb diet for 2 months I never farted once. Was very weird since I used to fart loads. Since coming off it I do fart but way less than before. I really missed it when it stopped. It is a wonderful release :)

It does annoy me when we are all chilling out in the lounge and he stands up to leave and farts on his way out.

Why not wait until you are outside?

But if we are sat down and he's not about to leave of course it's reasonable to fart!

It's his home after all!

I would be more worried that he farts so frequently, sounds like he needs a bit of diet re-think.

mega how do you know which ones are going to be stinky?

It may be a bodily function but so is taking a crap and you wouldn't invite family and friends in to watch you do that would you? I totally agree Jitney, it's disgusting and I'd really struggle to fancy my other half if he let rip whenever he fancied. You wouldn't do it at a meeting at work would you or in any other social context? I very much doubt it because I certainly don't hear/smell people dropping one when I'm on the bus/in the cinema queue/paying at the supermarket etc etc

Sometimes it just comes out without warning, like at yoga , but yes I agree try to do it in private if you can help it, not nice

I hate it DH & DS both fart on demand producing gas that is akin to a chemical attack.
I know DH can control it as he has a serious responsible job where he doesn't do it in front of patients/colleagues so why do I have to suffer. He agrees that his stink like something died up there and he can happily clear a large room they are so foul.
I can't understand how, when we eat the same food his body processes it to make that smell whereas I barely fart (perhaps once or twice a week which i understand is below average) and when I do they barely smell. The only exception was when I was pregnant I did towards the end start to produce a few stinkers, DH thinks it was obviously DSs influence as he definitely takes after his dad in that department

I think DH has farted (noticeably) in my presence just a handful of times in the 6 years we have been together. That's not counting the times he does it when he's asleep. lol. He's obviously not a very windy bloke in comparison to some people or he consciously makes a point of leaving the room to do it.

I have never felt comfortable breaking wind in front of him, or anybody. I go to the loo if I can or I hold it in. Although now that I have IBS that's not always possible. I still apologise profusely to him when I'm having bad symptoms even though it's not really my fault.

If your DH is doing it innocently and apologising for it then that's fine, but if he's making a big song and dance about it like The BFG then that's not good or mature.
