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?

YANBU. At least you didn't follow through, then I would understand if he got upset!

Oh, I thought the post was implying that people who don't fart in bed don't have oral sex [because they don't want to fart in peoples faces].

If one has enough control to hold it in during oral sex, surely one can hold it in to go to the bathroom?

CheesecakeAddict · 21/08/2018 17:39

Wow. Just wow.
Next time do it under the covers and waft 😈

Carriecakes80 · 21/08/2018 17:51

Farting is the Lords way of ensuring all this Bullshit isn't for nothing, that at least we can have a laugh for free.

As for being gross, nope, not at all. Its a bit of smelly gas....and its always hilarious.
The funniest thing is my two girls will happily 'Donald' (thats what they call it!) away, while my two older teen boys won't ever fart in front of anyone.

I feel sorry for those who haven't yet discovered the unadulterated joy of a bloody good Donald.

If you can’t fart in bed, where can you fart? Church or chapel let it rattle.

Isitovernow · 21/08/2018 17:53

Does your DP ever fart in the bed in front of you? My DH has issues with me passing wind in front of me, yet he has no problem letting one rip whenever he feels like it, sometimes in public! Double standards!

ALongHardWinter · 21/08/2018 17:56

I just surprised that a MAN was offended by a fart! All the men I know think that farting is hysterically funny. Or is that only when THEY are the ones doing it?!

ALongHardWinter · 21/08/2018 17:58

Just read the post before mine. Yep,it seems that they only have issues with other people doing it. When it's them dishing it out,it's hilarious!

rwalker · 21/08/2018 17:58

I think it was just a reflex reaction been woken up in the early hours by someone rocking and farting . Ask him today after explaining and he probably wouldn't give it a 2nd thought

Fowles94 · 21/08/2018 18:01

I don't see why anyone would have an issue with this, we go to the toilet with the door open and fart a lot. Yanbu he sounds like a child.

ALongHardWinter · 21/08/2018 18:02

LadyFidgetAndHerHandbag. OMG! Grin at the thought of you texting your fiancé about doing a particularly loud or smelly fart!

brighteyeowl17 · 21/08/2018 18:09

Goatwoman are you actually serious? What sort of long term relationship would not experience a fart unless your with a robot?! 🤔😂

LadyFidgetAndHerHandbag · 21/08/2018 18:13

Thanks @ALongHardWinter, I'm nothing if not classy...

Micksee15 · 21/08/2018 18:23

as I tell my DH when I do it, better an empty house than an angry tenant!

BunsyGirl · 21/08/2018 18:28

I’m laughing at the people who have never farted in front of their other halves. When I had DS2 he shot out so quickly that a lump of poo came with him and flew into DH’s face!

Imagine if I’d never farted in front of him!!!

JamForBrains · 21/08/2018 18:34

Youre DH IBU. Everyone farts.
My dad sleeps on the window side of the bed. My mum farted incredibly loudly and my dad got out of bed and walked over to the window. "What are you doing?" She asked
"Getting my balls back off the window ledge" he replied. 🤣🤣🤣

WickedWitchOfTheWest83 · 21/08/2018 18:40

they happen! So what! My OH does them more than me but just laughs if I can’t hold one in. Your DP sounds like a dick.

TheOxymoron · 21/08/2018 18:49

Fart on his cheek and see if you can cause a face ripple. It’s hilarious. Grin

Mummadeeze · 21/08/2018 18:54

This is also a genuine issue for me. I need to pass wind quite a lot in bed. If I had to get up to the loo to do it, I would be up and down all the time and would struggle to relax and go to sleep. I do try to do it quietly but it isn’t always possible but my partner hates it too and makes it clear he is disgusted. I don’t really know what to do about it to be honest. We don’t get on very well so I just try to be thick skinned about his reaction but at the same time it does make me feel bad!

legolimb · 21/08/2018 19:03

Mummadeeze if you don't get on well with your partner I would suggest that yiur issue isn't any farting.

hiddeneverything · 21/08/2018 19:05

YANBU. He deserves the Dutch Oven treatment next time

AstralTraveller · 21/08/2018 19:09

I think your DH was U. He should have given you marks out of ten for startle factor, stench, lingerability, sound (both volume and duration) and the ability to cling to soft furnishings. We fall about helplessly when each other farts here. We are ridiculously childish about farts.

onetimeposter · 21/08/2018 19:10

There must be medication though, if you have problems. Or a better diet.

Theluckynumberthree · 21/08/2018 19:13

I’ve been with my oh for 15 yrs- I would NEVER break wind with him around- disgusting!!!

AnnieAnoniMoose · 21/08/2018 19:17

I HATE the word ‘fart’.

...but I’ll use it for this post otherwise there will be a world of ridicule coming my way 😂

I don’t find ‘farting’ at all funny. I just don’t see the ‘humour’ in it at all.

I wouldn’t be in a relationship with someone who found it hilarious, because we’d clearly have a totally different SOH.

I don’t understand how so many of you do things like grade them or have competitions...just find it peculiar...but I’m glad most of you have found someone to share your peculiarity with 🤣

My sex life is very good, oral both ways, no issue with bottoms in anyway. No issue with bodily fluids from either party. Ignore any involuntary wind during sex or otherwise...🤷🏻‍♀️

But to do it deliberately or not ‘take it outside’ when you can, just seems revolting to me.

But when ANY pain is involved and ‘farting’ would relieve it, I couldn’t be less bothered and I’d rub backs, tummies etc to help relieve the person in pain.

Glad your DP explained himself & apologised OP.

Loved your diagram, you have a very sexy arse 😂.
I’m ASTOUNDED you were naked though, any sign of rear end trouble and I have my tightest pants on plus Lycra shorts!
