Was I unreasonable fo fart in bed?

[oSorryNotSorryo]

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!

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

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?

I can't belueve the number of people that don't fart in front of their partner? I gave up caring 18 months in to our relationship when i was pregnant with ds1. Only time I've ever commented negatively about him doing it was when i tucked my feet under his thigh (sitting on the sofa) to keep them warm. He lifted and farted on my feet saying "that'll warm them". Dirty bugger, i however also found it funny. Maybe we just have a childish sense of humour, god knows out kids find farting hilarious too.

I was once walking round a national trust garden whilst in the middle of a Crohn's disease flare and a proper trumpet fart just escaped. Never seen my dp and dss laugh so much and even now over a year on my dss (14) who likes to act like a moody teen still cracks up laughing if it gets mentioned.
I'm so grateful my dp isn't a prude over farts cos it's hard enough dealing with my illness as it is and he stops any embarrassment and although is a massive piss taker over farts he is so caring and understanding. As long as the trump doesn't turn into a lump then all's good 😂

I'm not being funny. But people fart in their sleep anyway (because they're relaxed). I don't see what the issue is! Everyone does it 🤔

Everyone farts! Even the queen! Very unhealthy to keep it in. Love it when I’m around dogs and horses, can blame them for noise and smell!

I'd probs have laughed had my gf done this. However, I know a lot of females who definitely would not be putting up with their partners trumping in bed!

I am shocked at some of these responses. Of course YWNBU, you were in pain, your dh must be some uptight, uncaring pillock to make you feel bad about this. It’s not like you did it in the middle of a restaurant.
We share our lives with these people, hopes, dreams, childbirth for heavens sake. What is the big deal about a fart?

Even if you didn’t have pain and ibs this wouldn’t be unreasonable imho

I also can't stand the 'f' word, can't even bring myself to say it actually - some underlying issue with my mentality no doubt!
Doing that in front of your partner is gross, it's not funny and only something that you should keep to yourself imo. I rate it as bad as taking a shit in front of each other. Keep some things sexy op.

starlight13 yeah because being in agony to the point of not being able to walk to the bathroom s really sexy isn't it

I literally haven't laughed this hard since snapped and farted.

Thanks for that OP, and especially the diagram!

DH thinks I've lost the plot but he's just jealous because my farts are louder than his, and smell of perfume 🤣

Not only do we fart in front of each other, we sometimes award marks out of 10.

I agree with star
I never found snapped and farted funny either.
Having a shit in front of, and farting in front of, really is unattractive. Unless most people have really low thresholds for attraction, and don't need much kind of standards from a partner, then I just don't get it. Rather than sit next to someone passing gas openly and without embarrassment, when that is what the toilet is for, I would be single. Of course illness is different but IBS is hardly Crohns, there are numerous treatments and diets to minimise gas.
I'm truly amazed how many people can live like that, yet on the hygiene thread people are having a nervous breakdown at not showering every day. How is not showering for a day worse than shit smells every 5 minutes?

Wait. Like are people really going to toilet with farts? Like not on first few weeks of dating, but even after years and years? I kind of thought this was just pulling our legs😲

I often say “you’ve farted”

He says nope.

I say I smell “eau de DH” - he laughs

Every time I bend over to pick something up I let one rip unless I make an effort to hold it in.

I public or the office yes - at home, god no.

I could not imagine being so uptight in my own home.

Humans fart. Quick. Recall all the biology books that don’t point this out.

The only time I hate farting in front of dh or the dc is when im trying to be cross and a fart creeps out, or makes a clapping sound between my cheeks and it throws me off my rant because I cant help but laugh. I've just realised - I snap and fart regularly!

I fart like a trooper, and sometimes the smell is godawful. My husband also farts. All we do is call each other "tramps" (affectionately) and get on with our lives.

Please excuse me if you find this comparison offensive, I would never mean to offend anyone: I would imagine it's like a baby. When babies get trapped wind, they scream in pain and have to writhe and wriggle about in order to get their wind up.
I can imagine having trapped wind is immensely painful, especially with IBS, so if rocking back and forth with your arse in the air is the best way to relieve your trapped wind, then so be it. Your husband sounds like a very sheltered man if he gets upset over a fart.

Nothing wrong with a love puff

This thread is hilarious. Thanks for making me laugh

I’ve just relayed this thread to DH who is now wetting himself (figuratively speaking)

We’re comfortable with each other so will fart if we need to. He does tend to try and do his elsewhere though (because his often smell like something has crawled up his arse and died)

My DH has started doing super loud farts in his sleep!!

I’m another one who wouldn’t fart in front of anyone. My dh wouldn’t in front of me either, it’s gross. Though we laugh when one of us is asleep and the other farts. That can’t be helped. But I wouldn’t do I’m in front of him purposely.
I googled once that the average person farts 14 times a day (sorry if someone has already said that I haven’t read all) I know I do way more than that. Just hopefully with no one about.

I’d better add if my dh woke and I was in that position he might jokingly call me disgusting, or even leave the room but he wouldn’t mind really. But I’d be far too embarrassed to do that anyway.

. I rate it as bad as taking a shit

I’m surprised some who doesn’t like the ‘f’ word will use the ‘shit’ word.

Not that I like either of them. I prefer pump or boom boom to the ‘f’ word.

And instead of the shit word I’d use jobbie or poo.

Woolythoughts - yes go on then, get the biology books out to remind us that humans pass wind 😞 (?). We also shit, as do animals but we've learned not to just take a dump in front of each other.

YANBU. My DH, however, is extremely U as he has no such excuse.
