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?

Ah, this thread. 324 (currently...) messages about farting, people detailing their own farting habits (me inclided) and one absolutely awesome diagram.

I love mumsnet

(I might have gone mad without it, tbh... I'm currently on partial medical leave and it's actually surprisingly difficult from a psychological point of view.)

I farted in bed yesterday evening/night btw.

DH was already asleep and I - being a considerate person - liftet my summer blanket and angled my arse away from him
Getting up, traipsing around, opening the door to the bathroom etc would have probably woken him...

I know him and his priorities fairly well (seeing as he's my husband) and I'm very certain that waking him simply because I suddenly valued proprietary to an extent that made me worry about farting infront of him would have annoyed him.
Much more than than me farting in bed... (Which didn't even wake him.)

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.

This is a joke, of course? Just checking.

Better out than in Hun.

My DH gets really bad trapped wind, I've woken up to him farting before. I just roll over, rub his back and fall back asleep.

Thanks to the poster who's DD's call them 'Donald's'... DS is now calling them Donald's too!

I get trapped wind when pregnant and my husband offers to rub my back to help get things moving, which is kind of him (and a sign we're well past the honeymoon stage 😆!). There's a big difference when you're in pain though and although a bit gross, people getting so prissy about it need to chill out. It's not like OP woke him up and asked him to pull her finger.

Talking about being pregnant and having trapped wind, I also find they slip out very easily too when I'm pregnant. I was speaking to the kids in Tesco (well, probably yelling at the 4yo for the millionth time to stop picking stuff up yoghurts or whatever) and in a moment where I was distracted from holding the necessary muscles, one slipped out. A proper thundery one too. To make it worse I then saw my new neighbour was in the same aisle and I'm pretty sure she must have heard it. Just have to hope she thought it was one of the kids.

To the previous poster towards the beginning of the thread,

who said,

In short, you snapped and farted

You have just set me off again....

He should have been offering back rubs, hot water bottles and hot squash. My dh is slow on the uptake care wise but if he woke to find me like that he'd probably mumble y'okay? He's actually fallen asleep giving me back rubs. If you've gut issues, he needs to accept and support you as farting is the least of the problems...you need someone who'll hold your hand when you're sitting on the loo. You need to discuss this with dp.

I'm a bit prissy when it comes to farting (no idea why - I think I'm just a bit funny about body parts generally). I go to the bathroom to fart! But I realise I'm in a minority and that I'm a bit weird about it. I'd also never wee or anything in front of my partner. However I get that as we grow old together I might have to get over my squeamishness!

@pollumere sounds like you've sweet DH there!

He is bvu. I never farted in previous relationships, then I met dh. Him and his dc have farting competitions!!!! I was the strange one for not farting! It didn't take me long to be totally relaxed to be able to fart freely and openly. Your dh should accept you for everything, especially when you have a medical issue that causes severe bloating and pain. He should've be massaging your tummy until you farted!

I went to the bathroom last night before bed not to fart.

Returned from the bathroom and walked into our bedroom to find DP 'face down ass up' he looks at me and then farts and says 'you're right... this really does work well!!'

You'll have to try and get it synchronised.

I must admit to also trying out this position whilst alone and it really does work!

This is the thread that just keeps on giving! 😂💨

Better an empty house than a bad tennant imo! We used to have a St Bernard who had the most evil smelling farts, she used to drop one then leave the room before the smell hit. Took us ages to figure out it was the dog and not one of us... My hubby and I and now our two daughters find farting hilarious. We always laugh about it. As for what goes on in the bathroom, we keep that to ourselves, nobody needs to see that!

High five to DaveGrohlsMrs

*thank your hub for the music

*Oh for god sake, he's upset with you for farting? Does he not like it when you breathe either?

Next time trap his head under the duvet*

Ok, I don't have time to read 14 pages about farting, but this post on page 1 made me laugh out loud!

I couldnt have knowingly farted in bed with a partner unless i had no respect for them

This made me laugh out loud too! Some people are hilarious
And followed up with this!
Sounds like your arse was in his face end in which case you were vile

That poster had to be taking the piss!

@herworldoutsideit

You really should read the whole 14 pages, it's comedy gold

What's the position, exactly? (Diagram optional)
