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 once at way too many of a certain brand of pear drops. We were driving from A to B on a remote part of the country - byt the time we got to our hotel for the night I was in agony and kept letting out these little peeps of a fart.

Sitting int he noisy hotel bar eating trying to eat dinner I took a glass of prosecco and I think the added gas gave the propellant to let the trapped air out. I had no choice in the timing or the location - I'd spent ages trying to degas earlier in the day.

Luckily or not this occurred just as the live band were changing their set around.

DH timed the release of air at in excess of 90 seconds before it stopped . The whole bar gave me a round of applause.

I felt so much better after that!

Absolutely crying with laughter at all these. Free farting family here - we score ours on a scale of 1-10 for decibels, aroma and length of time!

On a serious note, most people that are woken up in the middle of the night there is usually an issue to be dealt with. Surely obvious pain would inspire sympathy not censure?

@Starlings27 brilliant!

YANBU op, I have bloating ibs so know exactly what you mean. When your in pain you'll do what you need to to stop the pain, you wouldn't hold in a cough just in case you woke your partner would you.

We're human, we fart, poo, pee, sweat and have morning breath, all perfectly natural. If you can't understand that then that's your problem but those of us with stomach issues shouldn't have to suffer.

If op did that on the subway then I would understand the prissy comments but she was in her own bed.
I totally agree with the statement couples who fart together, stay together.
Those of you who have a problem with farting, god help you when you have kids

That is an excellent diagram!

Hahaha sorry i know your in pain but the visual just cracks me up! Fart away i say

Yanbu.

We fart freely in our bedroom anyway - and when needed to relieve pain it’s a no brainer.

Me and DH are massive children about this and frequently try to wake each other up with them

My DH once woke himself up with his own fart.

Farts are funny. And everyone should have a comfortable place to fart in freely. For many of us it's our home. Obviously we are on our best behaviour when guests are here, but as soon as they leave.... Well it's our comfy place again😂 Furts are funny.

*farts

This thread is amazing 😂😂😂😂

Me and dp fart in front of each other all the time. Nothing to be ashamed of!

That reminds me. A couple of years ago my DP farted so loudly that not only did it wake him up, but caused me to chuckle all the way to work because I heard it too. Outside. On the driveway. With the door shut. Thank god we're detached! It's alright me hearing them but the poor neighbours don't need to! 😂

And the time that the dog farted and was so disgusted in herself she got up and wandered away! That was particularly putrid. (not envy)

for your diagram!

I'm so glad I didn't start reading this on the bus, I've been roaring with laughter at some of the fart tales 😂

YADNBU. Farts are farts. They are natural. We score each other out of 10. You get higher marks for noise and duration but lose points for smell. Extra points if one of us is upstairs and the other down.

Life is far too short to worry about farts, especially when they are the only way to relieve the pain of trapped wind.

And the time that the dog farted and was so disgusted in herself she got up and wandered away! That was particularly putrid. envy (not envy)

Our old dog (16 years old) used to do it 😂 He actually made us evacuate the room number of times and joined us in the other one...

That has to be one of the best diagrams I have seen on here. We should give prizes for them really. It beats a parking thread diagram hollow.

Farts are not a problem here. Just let it out.

Oh, and our 14 year old labrador often gets blamed. Mind you, he is capable of particularly stinky farts. His "room-clearers" as we call them.

I have been married for 23 years and have never once farted in front of my dh.

I am just not a farty person. He’d probably love it if I did.

Sadly, the same can’t be said for him. He does enough for both of us.

I know women who are horrified at the thought of farting or even having a wee in front of their DH.

I find it bizarre, and how on earth do people like this cope with the prospect of having their DH be their birth partner?!

My dh never attended my births i was too self conscious. Not something i wanted him to see. Hasnt affected much.

I have IBS and one winter I got two kinds of stomach virus. My dad drove me to the doctor over bumpy country lanes and with every bump I couldn't help but fart. I was in too much pain and misery to care but later I overheard him on the phone to my mother saying it had been like the 1812 Overture.

Fart away op, much better out than in.

I can't believe the amount of uptight people who won't let the wind run free in front of their partners. We're a free farting family but I don't like it if DH trumps in public or in front of company/guests. You do have to measure your audience sometimes.

Omg, I can't believe you're all so precious about farting!! My OH would be horrified if I thought I had to go to the toilet to fart?!! Fuck me. Get over yourselves!!!!
Go for your life OP. Tell your husband to get over himself or buy him some pearls to clutch!

This thread is hilarious, though obviously the fact that you suffer from this isn't funny, OP.

What's making me laugh is those posters saying this is a 'deal breaker'. Would you dare include it in a divorce petition for unreasonable behaviour?? I've been a legal secretary in the family department; we would have had a real laugh if one of had had to type 'She wakes me up breaking wind in the middle of the night. I can't cope with the stench.'

DH and I fart in front of each other, he can be quite loud sometimes. I say 'Yuck!' but jokingly. I fart silently (very rarely now thankfully) and he calls them SBDs (silent but deadly ).

How can you enforce a rule about no farting in bed? What do you do if you feel one brewing..get out of bed and do it ?
