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???

YAB a bit U but I'm inclined to side with you due to the witty and inventive use of descriptive terms.

Teach your DH to let them out a bit at a time and dispel each "waft" by fidgeting/shifting position discreetly. Works for me a friend.

Re: woman at work Im pretty sure she doesn't have a condition she enjoys burping in people's faces too she's just like that really

OP, I do think you've been unfairly lambasted. The trouble is you've got a lot of people who don't mind something telling you that you're unreasonable TO mind it. It smacks of 'well I don't agree and I am better, therefore you should change your opinion'.

Presumably, like anything else in a marriage or partnership, you learn how to live together respecting each other's boundaries. Coming into the room you're in and farting and walking out again is disrespectful if he knows you find it offensive and if he has the capacity to not do it.

Neither dh nor I would voluntarily break wind in front of each other. This doesn't make us joyless, uptight bastards. It's just a boundary we both happen to agree on. I'm allowed to feel this way. You lot can merrily break wind all over each other and each to their own. I wouldn't dream of calling you a bunch of puerile, juvenile, disgusting bastards. You're just different to me. You don't get to make assumptions about me either.

And being ill is different. If dh was ill or if I was ill, we'd care for each other as we would if it was any kind of illness.

Oh no wishful, now I'm paranoid that I am that woman at work. I also burp completely uncontrollably, as part of my medical condition. They just come out! And I'm usually so embarrassed when it happens in company that I make a joke of it. No one believes that I have no control or warning over my burps, but I really don't.

Really?! I feel awful but I'm sure your not she has never been embarrassed about it (I don't think anyway!)

The morning after our first night together, I was lying in the bath and DaddyBunnet (my beloved) came in a sat on the lavvie, whilst holding a conversation with me. I have fond memories of several alfresco pees together, too.

If we left the room to fart we'd never see each other.

They smell AKIN to shit

You are right, other people's definitely do, but mine smell of violets and roses, and my poohs come out wrapped in cellophane.

It doesn't bother me much when DH farts, everyone must expel gas or become an unstable ball of festering methane, however I am going to award you the argument in my mind OP for the phrase "a fart is the SOUL of a shit" which is still making me snigger 10 minutes after reading it.

My DP introduced me to the concept of a Dutch Oven. Me being the innocent girl that I am, didnt have a clue what he was on about.

I know now, all I will say is the duvet is involved. Nasty.

YANBU it is awful, but in my world I have had to "go with the (air) flow", fighting methane with methane between DH and DSS.

DP and I try not to fart infront of each other. I don't like smelling my own farts so why on earth would I want to smell his?

YANBU OP. A lot of very defensive posters here. Their parps must stink rotten. My own behind smells of lavender
