DH just asked me not to fart in front of him

[Nobhobs]

I don't make a point of doing it, but every now and then it happens. It's natural and can't always be helped? He on the other hand forces out massive loud farts, makes eye contact and faces whilst he does it. I usually roll my eyes and laugh/shake my head but all in good humour. Just sat on the sofa and I let out a small one (not loud, forced or smelly) and he sighed and said "seriously can you please not fart in front of me"

I'm a bit lost for words. I'm actually a bit upset with him. He's my bloody husband and now I need to feel insecure about farting? We're completely comfortable around each other, I've just had our bloody baby he's seen far worse than a little fart. He thinks IBU for getting upset about it and thinks it's a fair request. I think he's being an arsehole.

Sit on his face and let rip op.

Just shrug and say of course I will. When you stop.

Yanbu

He is an arsehole. You'll stop when he does

I try not to but if one happens it happens. He does it so next time say that back too him.

Ask him outright why it is acceptable for him to do it and not you.

Bet you it's some bullshit about not being ladylike or some other crap

DH and I used to find farts hilarious and rate them. I couldn't be doing with someone with such double standards as your DH.

You’re married?! How has this conversation only just come up.
He’s being v strange, especially if he doesn’t practice what he preaches

And what's he planning on doing when you ignore his request, move out?

I'd spend the next 11 weeks farting into a mason jar as his Christmas present. But I'm petty like that.

What is it ok for him and not for you?

It may not smell to you op but it may smell to him...often the one who dealt it can't smell it...and it's not pleasant to suddenly have a breath of someone's shitty farty smell...

I’d fill the room with my bodily gases until the fucker passed out.

Call him out on the double standards and see what he says. If he still says its a fair request then say the same thing to him every single time he farts in front of you.

I hate double standards, and after a while it will build into resentment and cause big problems

Because you’re a ‘laydeee’?!

Ffs

@FoodWoes You’re a genius

I just read that he does farts ....give him the same treatment and ask him not to do them too

Could it be “Now you are the mother of his child you should behave in a ladylike fashion” ?

I’m not saying that btw, I’m imagining a devils advocate comment.

I’m of the opinion what’s sauce for the goose....cheeky git. When he grows up you will too.

Men can be such absolute dickheads.

Double standards. I’d fart and make faces and eye contact just as he does and tell him I’d stop when he does

Just say, ‘Yes I do mind, now shut the fuck up.’

Ask him why he can and not you?

He is being very unreasonable to tell you off for something he does himself - presumably because it's not ladylike enough!

That said, I do hate how more and more people are finding it funny to constantly fart all the time. Loads of my friends do it and think it's a hilarious personality quirk when no, you're just gross and you stink. I'm all up for everyone stopping it.

Agree in your case the double standard is the issue. I personally hate it when dh farts in my direction. Its grim. But, it happens. Of course it happens and its natural, but there are polite ways of doing it.

I highly recommend processed peas

Two tins and off you go

Make him beg for mercy for hypocritical behaviour

Blimey, double standards. My DH has spent the last 20 years telling me that my farts are pathetic (like a magazine flapping closed) and that I should be ashamed at my poor excuse for breaking wind. All the while rattling the rafters with his impressive efforts.

I recently woke him up at 4am laughing, because I produced a long gentle fart and it sounded like a bee.
