Was I unreasonable fo fart in bed?

Ok... so let me explain myself!

Last night I went to bed early feeling unwell, my stomach was bloated and I felt really uncomfortable and unsure why. I suffer with IBS so thought I'd maybe had something that upset my stomach.

3am I woke up with a terrible pain in my stomach which felt like trapped wind. I was in so much pain I didn't even want to move from my bed.

So on advice when this has happened before I got myself into a position to relieve the wind... basically head down ass up! Grin

After a couple of seconds of rocking in this position, I farted! It's never felt so good. Grin

So my DP wakes up from the sound of my large fart and tells me I'm disgusting and won't accept my explanation.

WIBU?

Well i dont get this weird sotuation on MN where not showering 17 times a day is utterly horrific, but to sit pumping turd germs into the bed all night is fine Hmm
All the horror at shitting man and all....
Bet the nethuns have more class
So called educated middle class women
I feel my life has been a lie Angry

onetimeposter · 21/08/2018 07:26

I wonder if sharing one chicken between 12 people and bulking out every dish with lentils is to blame Confused

Topseyt · 21/08/2018 07:32

Ah, that would be one reason Nethuns would not be for me. Unlikely to allow a good discussion about farts.

Married 30 years to dh3. Neither dh1 nor dh2 ever farted when I was there and I held it in too. Neither marriage was happy. One ended in divorce and one in death (neither was farting related).
Dh3 and I fart when we need to in front of one another though not if any other adult is present. We have been blissfully happy together and yes, farting freely and being relaxed together is probably part of it.

onetimeposter you sound like fun Grin

Chipshopninja · 21/08/2018 08:37

Last night I woke up to the most terrible smell, glared at sleeping DP...then realised it was definitely my "brand" and went back to sleep feeling quite proud of myself Grin

oSorryNotSorryo · 21/08/2018 08:43

@Chipshopninja we call ours our own 'brand' or 'scent' GrinGrin

meadowmeow I had a date on Valentine's Day with a guy I'd just started seeing. We went out for a posh meal and as he was snogging me goodnight he let rip. That's the only time I've ever considered a fart to be disrespectful. I'm all for a good fart and having IBS I could have beaten him in a farting competition but I'd never purposely fart like he did during a snog. It was rank and was my lasting impression of the date. Put me right off him. I had an ex who thought farts should only be in the bathroom. Luckily it didn't last otherwise I'd have spent most of my time in there!
I imagine all these posters saying how disgusting it is are great prudes and don't have very satisfying sex lives. Can't imagine they engage in oral sex for example. Could be wrong of course. OP was ill, it was hardly a purposeful and vile act.

onetimeposter · 21/08/2018 10:00

Actually thats true I dont partake in oral sex and have never recieved it. I find the idea horrible. Not a prude at all, just not for me.

OftenHangry · 21/08/2018 10:12

@onetimeposter I know no one likes everything in a bed, but gosh. You are missing outGrin

oSorryNotSorryo · 21/08/2018 13:52

Tbf.. I'm happy to give but never done much for me receiving 🤷🏼‍♀️

But that subject could be a whole new thread Grin

Good God, all the people up in arms about farting need to get a grip. My fiance and I both have IBS and I've always been very farty. If I went to the bathroom every time I needed to fart I'd spend half my life in there or explode from holding them in.
We fart freely in front of each other and have been known to get into a good farting position if we think it's going to be a good one. We also laugh and complement each other. I'll even text him if I've done a particularly loud or smelly one and think he needs to know.
Fart away OP and please gift us with more diagrams. This thread is amazing and has cheered me up during a particularly shitty day at work.

TheNightIsForever · 21/08/2018 14:37

Apparently I farted so loud in my sleep last night that it woke dp up 🙈🙈

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 21/08/2018 14:50

On hols a few years ago, me n DH in 1 room with DM n youngest in another right at the other end of the apartment. In between the rooms were 2 bathrooms and a corridor.
DH in bathroom.
I fart
Hear dm’s (faint distant voice) “bloody hell aint! Have you just shat yourself?!” 😳

StrangeLookingParasite · 21/08/2018 14:57

bulking out every dish with lentils is to blame

I am no fun to be around after lentils. Or chickpeas. And black-eyed beans are WMD.
More reasons I'll never go vegetarian/vegan.

Once in bed I let one go... DH started awake and grabbed his phone. In his defence, it did sound like his phone vibrating across the bedside cabinet....

Once, whilst he was fast asleep I snuggled up to his back and heard "pffffft" OMFG. It was putrid.

maggienolia · 21/08/2018 17:23

As an aside, I deal with both elderly men and women as part of my job, and in a head to head the ladies could out-fart the men any day of the week.
We do the polite thing and pretend not to hear. Even when several ornaments have just been blown off the mantlepiece.

I engage in oral sex, giving and receiving. I would be horrified to fart in DPs face whilst he was going down, and same if I was going down on him. That is disgusting!

PerverseConverse · 21/08/2018 17:34

@serbska who said anything about farting DURING oral sex???
