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 hate hearing ANYONE over the age of 5 burping or farting."

A lot of people really can't help it. They don't all have automatic bottoms like you clearly do. You fume when your eight old passes wind. Really Hmm

Lighten up.

Good grief, it is just a fart! Obviously, everybody is embarrased about that. I remember accidentally letting one out, albeit not when we were at it, and my wide eyed boyfriend just said "Tiger... Are you sure we are not married?"

I still smile thinking about it Blush

DP ended up with a bit of a poo moustache

Crying

ouryve · 20/11/2015 21:58

I would have laughed too.

But if you can't see the lighter side of undesirable bodily functions at inopportune moments, then this relationship is a goer.

From the thread title, I was expecting something truly awful.

ouryve · 20/11/2015 21:59

isn't a goer.

rainybaking · 20/11/2015 22:08

"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."

This.

Have my first ever biscuit, OP. Biscuit

I had a terrible stomach once whilst dtd. I tried to sneak the trapped wind out but it came out massively and rippled on DH's bollocks. You'd think i'd drowned a bag of kittens.

TooMuchFuckingPerspective · 20/11/2015 22:22

I'm laughing so hard I'm going to shit myself

Cannot stop laughing at this

shins · 20/11/2015 23:00

Nothing to add but I'm crying with laughter at this horrible thread!

sharonthewaspandthewineywall · 20/11/2015 23:04

I really really laughed and had to go for a poo in the end luckily DH didn't find it a dumping (Scuse the pun) offence

iwantgin · 20/11/2015 23:11

YANBU OP.

Farts aren't funny. They are rank.

I hope that he only laughed to gloss over any embarrassment.

CatMilkMan · 20/11/2015 23:13

We make some weeeeird noises during sex a fart could probably sneak out and we wouldn't notice.

sharonthewaspandthewineywall · 20/11/2015 23:14

Why aren't farts funny? And who deigns that farts aren't funny? Who gets to assert for instance farts aren't funny but Jimmy Carr (for eg) is????

Elendon · 20/11/2015 23:22

My ex asked to use the loo once after he left me for his soulmate. Afterwards he had a cup of tea (this was the last time this was offered or accepted). During the tea drinking, my daughter's partner shouts about the smell being the worst he's ever smelt, and my daughter said "Yes, I know it's bad, isn't it?". Ex flees and I thought, how long will his soulmate love him, with such a vile smell like that emanating from him.

How dare he mark 'his' territory, now mine. I'm never living with a man again.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 20/11/2015 23:24

"You'd think i'd drowned a bag of kittens."

Grin. At first I thought this was a description of the resulting noise. then I read it again as it being your DP's over the top reaction of horror. Either way, very funny!

blueshoes · 20/11/2015 23:47

poo moustache? I'm out of here

Potatoface2 · 20/11/2015 23:54

blimey...its a bodily function, we all do it....its completely normal....you have an intimate relationship with someone but complain about a fart....he probably laughed cos he was embarrassed, trying to lighten the moment and you made him feel even worse so he got defensive....if you cant bear someone who you have sex with farting its really pathetic....how would you react if you had to be there if they became really ill...warts and all....there is a time and a place but its unavoidable sometimes....lighten up!

Im actually crying at this thread.

Whatthefucknameisntalreadytake · 21/11/2015 00:05

I can't believe some people don't find farts funny!
Farts are nearly always hilarious, although I do object when the smell is so strong it's like breathing in a solid shit.
But generally farts crack me up.

KoalaDownUnder · 21/11/2015 00:09

See, I don't find them remotely funny. Like, at all.

I'd get over someone farting in bed by accident, but forcing one out deliberately and then acting like a schoolboy? Nah.

Handywoman · 21/11/2015 00:43

I think a relationship of a few months may not be in the 'fart zone' yet.

My and my kids all fart like troupers.

But in a new relationship
Tromboning loudly and proudly
Whilst dtd
And finding it hilarious a la changing room humour

= no thanks!!

Garlick · 21/11/2015 00:45

Good grief, it's a good thing none of you have sex with me! I'm really bloody noisy, gas & air escape from various orifices without warning, and I'm sure as hell not CONTROLLED during sex!

... wanders off, shaking head at Mumsnetters' claimed politesse during a messy & uncontrolled animal activity.

SpellBookandCandle · 21/11/2015 00:58

Deal breaker for me, Op. Been with my dh for 10 years. We dont shit or fart in front of each other. It is a respect thing for us.

kali110 · 21/11/2015 00:58

I feel sorry for the bloke!
No not everybody can hold them in!
Yes they are not always nice but it's not the worst crime of the century!
He probably laughed because he was embarassed.
I bet if a bloke wrote this about a woman he would be bloody lynched!
