AIBU?

To think new-ish boyfriend acted in a vile fashion when in bed?

So I have been seeing someone for the past few months. It has been going pretty well, have taken things slowly (ish). We don't live together and both have our own places. I was staying at his house for a few days recently as we both had time off work and an "incident" when were in bed has really pissed me off so in the middle of sex he basically lets rip with a massive stinking fart and proceeds to laugh about it, not in an embarrassed "oh shit, I'm sorry" laugh but genuinely thinking it's funny and making stupid comments, it was so bad I basically had to open window and then take myself to the bathroom, needless to say the mood was over for me. Then he starts acting stupid "why are you upset, couldn't help it, dodgy food" and that I am being "up-tight". FFS we are mid 30s and he was giggling like a teenage boy would when in a group of mates.

So AIBU to think this was totally unacceptable? TBH I think it showed a lack of respect and hardly conducive to me wanting to shag him any time soon.

I just died a little laughing at your responses :)

It's possible it's a new relationship it happened he felt awfully embarrassed and that was his way to deal with it... I would have hit him over the head with a pillow and told him he was disgusting and never to do it again - but that's me and and am grateful that DP would never dream of farting in front of me :)

I'd LTB for calling you uptight.

It may have been nervous giggling.

But then you apologise when you've calmed down, you don't start throwing insults around because someone didn't find your fart hilarious!

This is wonderful, Op! Have laughed a lot.

He sounds a tad juvenile, but I think you're over-reacting...

Urgh disgusting behaviour and I now have an image of a naked, saggy arsed man forcing out a fart thinking that the expulsion would aid motion in the opposite direction.

It's not a pleasant thought, I'm going to my happy place. Grin

Sharted = shat ?
Or Sharted = unwanted follow through from fart?
Every day's a school day eh?

Compatibility is everything!

There's kind of a spectrum on farts, I reckon. From hilariously amused on one end to totally offended and disgusted on the other, with indifferent somewhere in the middle. If you are too polarised, move on - unless you want to be subjected to fart humour intermittently for the rest of your time together and/or called uptight for not joining in with the hilarity.

I would find that funny! It's just a natural bodily function. Lighten up!

This is extremely childish so if you dont like fart humour don't read

A fart is a volcanic eruption
It comes from the planet of bum
Proceeds through the valley of trousers
And comes out like a musical hum

A bit confused. I can't fart at will, rarely know when one is on the way. Can some people summon one up somehow?

Similarly, I can just about hold one in if sitting on a chair - without wanting to venture too far into tmi - less so "in the throes"

bertie thank you.
I will see if I can use my new knowledge in a conversational way.
Happy to say it's an verb I have never had the personal experience of.

Sorry, Off topic.

This has thread has been an Eye-opener in terms of varying levels of sphincter control. I can hold mine sufficiently to never fart in the presence of others. I'd assumed that was the case for most people.

I fart during sex at times as I have IBS.

I apologise, have an embarrassed laugh and forget it.

A man farting then making stupid comments and laughing hysterically after would put me off. Farting happens, his reaction would turn me off.

I've been married for five years and dh has never farted in front of me.

See, I know all relationships are different etc. but I literally cannot compute this statement.

Did it add an extra degree of temporary vibration?

Maybe his ex found it funny, and he just assumed you would too?

But it goes without saying, you don't need a reason to end a relationship. If you don't want to see him anymore, then don't.

It's probably one of those times where something not that funny becomes much funnier because of someone else (the OP in this case) having a cat's bum face.

DP ended up with a bit of a poo moustache after he went down on me post plying me with too much white wine. We've always been of the opinion that if the fun stuff happens in the same region that the ick stuff happens, then at some point the two will meet.

But we're pretty relaxed people. I suspect that before we decided that bedtime jiggery pokery was a good idea, we'd already had a very silly conversation about how bloody ridiculous sex can be at times.

I think it shows how different you are and that perhaps this relationship isn't for you have you thought maybe his reaction was embarrassment? I laugh in inappropriate situations often to cover my shyness and mortification and it can easily escalate.

I hate hearing ANYONE over the age of 5 burping or farting. It makes me really angry😩 In fact only tonight my 8-yr old DD got a telling off for lifting up her leg and farting loudly, and then laughing. I was fuming. I can't help it.

I'd have joined him in hysterical laughing. It's only a fart, get over yourself. Farts happen, sometimes you cant control them and it's a lot better to laugh of it off, rather than get all flustered and embarrassed. Hardly the worst thing he could do. Poor bloke.

OMG it was only a fart! From your thread title I thought he'd done you up the wrong 'un or something.
