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 who say you don't fart in front of your partner.
You'll be letting rip in your sleep, they've probably heard!

@driven haha how is it disrespectful FFS?!

@LoisCommonDenominator84

Would like to say my arse isn't actually that big, but I'm sure it probably is when I'm face down ass up

YANBU.

Trapped wind like that can hurt so bad, you feel your intestines may explode if you attempt to stand. Staying put till you get it out is sometimes the only tolerable option.

If that was my DH, he would say that's disgusting while trying to maintain a straight face but he would not be able to keep it up for long before he'd start laughing. He is forty odd going on four when it comes to farts, finds his own hilarious, especially if they stink something awful. Let's put it this way, his work mates ain't safe and I feel sorry for them some days (only the chaps though, he wouldn't gas the "ladies").

He would also ask me if I needed a drink of water, a hot water bottle or a soothing tummy rub.

He has had more contact with every kind of bodily fluid of mine over the years than I'd care to admit. He has done things for me that would make some responding posters here today faint from the sheer horror so I won't elaborate. He is just very caring that way and seems to be able to overlook grossness. He is wonderful in that respect and I am so grateful.

When he was a teenager, he used to look after his severely mentally disabled brother including toileting etc., so I suppose he's got form for being able to tolerate yucky stuff to help a loved one.

1 fart is better than 1000 doctors😂

I want a diagram of his reaction....

Twill' help me decide

@oftrnhangry I just think he knew he had no leg to stand on because when DH was drunk once he weed all over me in his sleep. Was like the bloody trevi fountain 😂

At least your DH was facing the other way, OP

You sleep naked?? Hussy?

Excellent diagram and arse.

@MarthasGinYard now you're asking a bit much!

I did forget to mention it was also a bare arse some posters will most definitely be mortified now!

Hope you changed the sheet after all those airborne poo crumbs landed on them
Urgh bare arse farting.
Rank.
Nice diagram tho OP

At least your DH was facing the other way, OP

Yes the diagram was especially for a poster who believed I had my arse in his face!

Making a note of the farting position to try out next time

We fart in each others presence. Still fancy him.

@WhatWouldCoachBombayDo 😂😂😂

If you have to fart, you fart.

We're a house of farters.

The notion that people find a normal bodily function "disgusting" or "despicable" is gas, pardon the pun

When we were at uni together a zillion years ago we used to try lighting them. That's how I knew he was a keeper.

Your left arse cheek is bigger than your right op!!
Farting is the least of your worries!!

I'd do the same again if needs must! Good for you.

That diagram is fantastic!

Absolutely not. Good on you

Diagram winner of the year, right there! 😂

I've had texts from my DP about his bodily functions and bowel movements this morning. In fairness it's only because he's having an IBS flare up at the moment.

Flatulence is a perfectly natural bodily function where nothing other than air comes out (and the occasional dodgy smell).

When you think of it like that it's not much different from talking really! Let's face it, there's enough verbal diarrhoea that goes around...!

I am pleased my diagram went down so well and there I was thinking I couldn't draw

It didn't take 10 minutes of careful concentration at all

Um I wouldn’t have been happy if I were your DP. Not so much the actual fart but rocking in bed trying to fart at 3 am.

I always remember reading a farting thread on MN when someone claimed to feel violated if her partner farted while she was in the room. Now when DP and I fart in front of each other, we yell "You beast! You just VIOLATED me!"
