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've been unwell the past couple of days with an upset stomach.

My fiance burped me in bed last night whilst cuddling me to ease the pain.

Rather that than some stuck up illusion that I don't generate wind at either end.

I fart in bed every morning. Big loud ones. We laugh at them. People are so uptight about farting!

My DP and I happily fart in front of each other; dare I say it we find it amusing.

Same here, Charley. We both take a puerile delight in unleashing a ripsnorter, the louder the better. We find it especially funny if it's loud enough to wake up the dog.

DP can't get in a lift without trying to squeeze one out, he's really childish.

Go to the bathroom whilst in pain just to spare your DH blushes? Are some posters on glue?

I am somewhat private and would never deliberately fart in front of DP but I have occasional attacks of severe pain and diarrhoea and yes wind all at the same time

It's so severe I actually pass out during a bad one....and I promise my DP only consideration is to try to find something that will relieve my pain

I don't go to the loo in front of him and nor him me by by God where pain is involved....seroously rethink him !!

Actually Serbska, if the OP had tried to move to the bathroom she could very well have moved the gas pockets back up and around and not been able to relieve herself of them! So she is totally fine to have farted in bed.
Wind pains are so horrible, that’s great you’ve got a tried and tested method of relieving yourself of them.

I think this is quite disgusting tbh. More so the fact u had your head down and ass up while letting rip

My DP farts loads and finds it hilarious (he’s 35 going on 8).
I have IBS and get very bloated with bad trapped wind every day no matter what I do (I’ve tried everything from fodmap diet, to cutting out dairy and gluten, to limiting fibre, to avoiding sugar, to eliminating stress etc). Buscopan helps a bit and so does peppermint but I’m still never symptom free. Sometimes I have to do huge farts and if I was having to go to the bathroom every time then i’d never get any sleep. Tell him to get a bloody grip and sleep with ear plugs if he’s that offended by it

Bloody hell, do people really take issue with their significant other's farting in front of them?!?!

DH and I (and DDs) let rip as and when we need to, no apologies or excuses as farting is a natural and normal bodily function! I fart A LOT!!! and DH doesn't give a rat's arse the he does sometimes jokingly call me disgusting if it sounds a bit wet....

Some of you lot need to get over yourselves!

OP, YANBU at all to have farted in bed, regardless of the circumstances, tell your DH to get a fucking grip.

Lots of precious people on here this morning who have obviously never had that kind of pain. You were in too much pain to move and that position is recommended for trapped wind so nothing wrong with what you did at all. Your husband is being a twat.

In short, you snapped and farted.

You were brave to have so much trust in your bowels imho. It could have been much worse.

What's wrong with farting in bed? He's a dick who needs to grow up

I have IBS. If I scuttled off to the bathroom every time I needed to fart I’d never be downstairs!

I am VERY careful about eating at work and my desk is near the toilet so I don’t fart at my desk but I generally just don’t have lunch if I’m working all day as I know that eating just about anything results in wind after about 45 minutes.

I CAN hold it in for a short time but that becomes very painful so if I can let it out (ie only DH and DCs around) then I do.... it saves a lot of pain.

Wow....he does realise that it's a natural human bodily function?

Plus you were unwell.

My DP high fives me if I do it!

What a juvenile reaction!

Dh is 54 and can fart the opening bars of the national anthem. Used to make the kids laugh. I take grest delight in farting in the supermarket isle and walking away to leave strangers looking suspiciously at each other

Your dh sounds a silly knob op.

I don’t see anything wrong with farting in bed, or anywhere in front of your partner (or kids). It’s the rocking on the bed while trying to sleep that would have caused me to grumble. You must have s great mattress for him to sleep through that and wake up to s fart.

@HoppingPavlova I agree. Hope disgusting. Rocking as in the air to let out an almighty fart. Book!

Boak not book!!

Also, if you're in a lot of pain and your DH's only concern is that you farted I'd be furious with him.

If my DP was rolling in pain he could fart for a constant hour for all I care, as long as he feels better after it.

I'd Dutch oven him if he felt he was so precious I couldn't fart in his marvellous presence.

YWBU.

If you were in bed alone then fart away. But it isn't nice to impose it on someone else.

to cover the smell

I think he was quite likely annoyed that it woke him up it was very loud I'm surprised it didn't wake DS in the next room I tried to explain my reason for the position, and doing it! He was grumpy and tired and up and out to work before I woke this morning. In fairness he won't say any more about it I doubt when I see him this evening.

Gross. I have extremely sensitive sense of smell and I'd vomit if someone did that in my bed.

I definitely couldn't continue a relationship with someone who thought that was ok behavior. I appreciate I'm in the minority though.

Oh my good god! I don't have ibs/ibd but I've had plenty of episodes where I'm in so much pain with my tummy I feel like I can hardly move. I dont fart in front of my dp either as I'm a little prude (around bowels only I'm generally fairly gross so no idea why) but that said if my dp woke in the night to this he would probably rub my back and insist on getting me a hot water bottle! In fact he would probably leave the room for a bit so I could fart away without embarrassment! Your dh was a dick!

I am almost certain that our 8 year relationship will not end because of a fart

There sure are some delicate flowers here this morning. My husband spent a week cleaning up after me when I had amoebic dysentery and he didn’t bat an eyelid. I would hate to be married to someone who got all precious about a pain-relieving fart.
