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?

People go to the bathroom to fart???? 😯

Had to re-read OP’s post a couple of times in case I had missed the fact that they had purposefully shat themselves and happily smeared it over the bed sheets, walls and partner whilst jumping on the bed, laughing maniacally. Your partner, including posts on here have said it was ‘disgusting’ ...still don’t get it. You had trapped wind, you tried to relieve the trapped wind, you...god forbid...untrapped the wind in the comfort of your own bed - some very Victorian mentally going on here, only thing that’s shocked me.

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

And I couldn't have a relationship with someone who didn't understand that farting is completely normal and natural! No, it doesn't smell great but everyone farts - including you!

YANBU!

I'd have done the same. As long as you don't dutch oven someone, then I don't see the harm. He's only cross because he woke up - imagine all the sleep farts you both miss!

I am genuinely shocked that there are people out there who won't fart in front of their DH.

It should be a basic human right to be able to fart in your own bed.

I could deal with a small one slipping out. But ffs the rocking would be a deal breaker. Actually feel sick to think about it lol.

YANBU. Bloody hell you farted. You were in bed in pain, it wasn't like you shat yourself because you couldn't be bothered to go to the bathroom. I can't imagine being married to someone possibly giving birth in front of them if they were so precious about normal bodily functions.

The couples that fart together, stay together.

Hear hear!

I generally lift the sheets/angle my arse away... But yes, I fart in bed. So does DH. Oh, and I ccasionally hear him fart in his sleep...

It's pretty normal imo.

You will be shitting on his pillow next lol (joke btw)

"People go to the bathroom to fart???? "

I know!

Everyday's a school day as they say!

DH woke me up the other night by releasing a massive sleep-guff. I then woke him up with my laughing.
Nowt wrong with a comfort chuff!

Personally I would try not to do this in front of anyone when possible.

Agree this would have made me laugh after checking my dh was ok.

Who goes to the bathroom to fart in their own homes!

I was about to say it's completely unacceptable but actually reading your post I fully understand and it sounds medical.

If your DH ever does it now make him sleep on the sofa.

I hate it when DH does this. It's inconsiderate, and if you have IBS that would've really fucking reeked. I'd be pissed off too.

I should add we're not a couple who don't fart freely, but when you know you've got a rotter you shouldn't inflict that on others!

I often wonder if people on MN have lived just extremely sheltered lives by the things they call disgusting. They can't have ever seen anything really disgusting, because farting, not showering, wearing your pjs two nights running whatever are really not disgusting.

It was a fart! How can you go your whole life not farting in your own home? I dont think you could ever have a relationship or friendship if you had to cut people off everytime they farted in front of you! And you were unwell, if my DH some me by vommiting I wouldn't be cross with him so why would I be cross if he woke me up because of IBS?

Woke*

@okmaybenot I have bad IBS and my farts hardly ever smell of anything as I have to eat a very unprocessed diet. They are often loud as I get so bloated but it’s just air.

Yanbu , ibs pain is awful! Your DH should have sympathy for the pain as its gas just natural

I literally can't imagine someone would be so selfish that they would want their partner to struggle in pain to the bathroom in the middle of the night just in case they had to hear/smell a fart. Seriously self centred.

Oh, he’s just being ridiculous! Totally can’t be helped.

My DP has an aversion to farting in front of each other...more because he thinks I’ll leave him once I smell what he’s capable of tbf 😂

But he loves to tell his ‘funny’ story of waking in the night thinking we had a gas leak because of the persistent ‘hissing’ sound...he ran to the airing cupboard (in our bedroom) in a panic before seeing my butt sticking out of the covers and realising it was a different kind of gas leak...I swear he’ll tell the world at our wedding if we ever get married.

Farts go free here and whilst we have both been known to complain if it's a bad smelly one (agreement here is those ones should be released in private) we accept it is a normal bodily function that cannot be controlled or suppressed. I'm at some of the replies here

Okay, so I haven't (consciously) farted in front of DH in all the years I've known him so I may be weird. I do find farts hilarious, I just personally can't even pass wind in front of the dog without feeling embarrassed

There is a difference between farting in bed while asleep and clambering into a "head down, arse up" position to blast one out! That's pretty gross and I'm sure I'd have something to say about it if you woke me up like that!
