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?

Tbh theres nothing less attractive. I seriously couldnt be attracted to a public fartee. Even going in the bathroom after theyve done a no2 is bad enough and then id expect the toilet to be spotless and the window open.

I don’t know if YABU to dart in bed if you have IBS, possibly not if you cannot make it to the toilet because of pains.

I am however in the canp where constant farting in front of me would be listed as unreasonable behaviour on our divorce papers. I just find it unattractive.

Update: DP has been home an hour now. Chatting about our days and he suddenly says. "Oh by the way, what the fuck was that last night" and starts laughing. I explained and told him it couldn't be helped! He then went on to apologise and said he was only grumpy because it made him jump and he thought it was a car at first?? 😂

Just told him about my thread and showed him my diagram... he has confirmed that my arse looks about right in size!

OP I think your DP has redeemed himself and clearly DOES have a sense of humour!

Wetting myself op.
One morning I had terrible stomach ache. Before I could get out of bed I let out a trump which sounded like when you open a bottle of fizzy pop and it's really fizzy and makes a hissing noise. It went on for ages.
Dp Sat up and shouted ' what was that?'
He then started looking under the bed because he thought something was going off like a canister or something.
The look on his face when I told him it was me was priceless.

Since farting is only a stigma towards natural human body functions, of course I still cringe/get embarrassed if someone farts or for example if I farted in public (!!!!) I do wish we seen it a bit lighter. I know in other cultures burping and farting aren't as 'eeee you're disgusting' more so like eating/drinking a basic function.

My old boss is Turkish and used to eat, burp in front of people and it was totally normal in his eyes without excusing himself.

I wish farting didn't have such a stigma!

YWNBU We have the same rule but Hubby let's rip in his sleep and STINKS.... I too suffer with IBS and rarely trust my body to "just" let one go but like you, if the pain is too bad I can't help it.... So I get my revenge! Lol xx

This is the best thread I've read in a very long time I'm in bloody hysterics.

Op yanbu!!

And that diagram is just brilliant - really sets the scene

@Belindabauer that is brilliant! Lmao love it x

Oh get over yourselves if you never fart in front of your partner ffs! I have IBS and can let our some awful ones. In the early days of our relationship we were walking into Asda when I let out a hideous one that actually embarrassed me. It was silent but awful in smell, i’m ashamed To say when DH pinned it on the old bloke in front of us I pretended it was him . My mum also thought the freezers in the supermarket had broken and something was off, yes my arse was off must be some effect Asda has on me.

I remember our dog once whipping her head round and staring at her arse.....something came out but she couldn’t see it. She didn’t fart often luckily but my friends old Labrador used to like sitting beside a particular friend to trump. It would make your eyes water.

Ah, so all is well again in the oSorryNotSorryo household, including your innards hopefully!

This thread has given me much entertainment after a very looong day.

DH and I don't really fart in front of each other. It's just not something we tend to do (though, after 15 years together there have been occasions the odd parp has slipped out and obviously there are sleep farts).

BUT, when hideous trapped wind pain is involved that rule can get to fuck. Trapped wind can be more painful than labour so if the opportunity is there to stop the pain you bloody well take it!!

I loved the diagram, OP, and I'm glad your DP has now laughed about it and the relationship is not over as some seemed to fear!

OMG just found this gem of a thread. Love your diagram oSorryNotSorryo I have often woken myself up by farting. One of my loudest and most explosive ones shocked my cat awake rather abruptly recently and there was a strangled and somewhat pitiful miaow as she fell off the bed in shock! I then almost wet myself through laughing!

Thank you all (majority) all of your comments (majority) have most definitely made me feel so much better about the unfortunate situation and I'll continue to fart as and when needed

I'm so pleased so many of you love my diagram, I am clearly more artistic that I even realised!

Seriously how vile

My dh farts in his sleep. First there's a little hissing noise, then my leg gets warm (if I'm cuddled up to him) then I have about a nanosecond to turn over before the smell hits me. I have to turn my face over via the pillow, else it's game over, my God they stink.
However, (and I've told this before) when we were in holiday in a caravan he got up for a wee. I woke up and went for a wee afterwards. He'd farted in the toilet and it was so bad it nearly took the enamel off my teeth. Any impressive farts are measured against the "caravan fart", which in my opinion should be recognized as the international scale for fart measurements, like the Richter scale for earthquakes!
When we have clean sheets he has to christen them with a fart, long as he doesn't poo on them I don't care.
Mind you, the other night I farted on the loo and it was so long and so loud my daughter came out to applaud it, she was so impressed.
We are grown ups, honestly!

OP I'm picturing you "head down ass up" waking grumpy husband with epic fart. It reminded me of another post where the OP said "I snapped and farted".... that was the funniest thing I've ever read

Wonder if its an age thing when it comes to how comfortable people are to fart in front of their other halves. 15 years together but only in our mid 30s and have never had a issue. I have Ibs and also a dh who works in a very male based job where there is no shyness about bodily functions shall we say. So farting is a hysterical thing in our house and often includes dutch ovens!

I so wish I could fart freely Infront of my dp. He would be fine with it and just laugh but I've always had a major issue with doing it Infront of anyone, for some reason I find it excruciatingly embarrassing we've been together over three years and I've had many a stomach ache from holding them in which is ridiculous. this thread is slowly helping me build up the courage to let it rip maybe tonight will be the night..who knows

If DP and I have had a curry there’s no stopping either of us that night. We do it right through the night without realising, the bedroom fucking stinks the next morning. We don’t eat curries often as a result .

Shit happens, literally. YANBU at all.

This thread has had me crying with laughter

You don't want to be in our house - me and DH have contests...…..!

How awful it must be to not feel comfortable enough with your life partner to fart in front of them! Also I wouldn’t be pissed off if this was my DH - I would ask if he was ok and be worried about him being in pain.
The posters who would be disgusted and also fucked off about being woken up, well Jesus what a miserable marriage you must have. Where’s the love?!

^wtf I wouldn't want a relationship where someone openly shat gas out every five minutes. It would make me feel sick. Asleep or an accident is one thing but not all the time and I don't think it's appropriate to encourage children to fart anywhere either.
I wonder how many people would fart in front of a new partner or is it just that standards slip over time where the respect disappears. My grandma would never fart in front of my granddad, nor my mum with my dad.
I'm amazed how many people on here find it funny. Childish imo, keep your smelly relationships to yourselves. Nothing to envy from here...….

A) fucking brilliant diagram, OP, definitely a prize due there!
B) get a grip all the pp's who say she shouldn't even be rocking to relieve the pain.... What about writhing around in bed with period pains, trying to get into pain free positions? Jeez, believe me, IBS is no laughing matter either, and you really CAN'T move anywhere else sometimes.
C) pearl clutches disunite.... Wind is wind. Parp Queen of East Anglia, me. I even offend my sprocker spaniels with mine, and scared the bejesus out of next door's cat when it ventured into my garden today with a finely tuned massive b flat parp. Must of thought the RAF were landing their helicopters.

Seriously OP, hope you're feeling better! This post has made me laugh on an otherwise tricky day!
