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.

I cracked that one earlier 😂

WTF, I'm always farting, if I had to try and hold them in around DH I'd explode lol He does it to you. He on the other hand forces out massive loud farts, makes eye contact and faces whilst he does it Do the same. Cock a leg whilst you're at it forcing one out for extra effect. Tell him you'll only pack it in if he does lol

OP your DH is a stonking not to mention stinking hypocrite.

On a side note we sometimes look after DB’s dog when they are away, he does the most disgustingly vile farts I’ve ever smelt, really embarrassing in front of visitors, but we put up with it because we love him.

Assume the downward dog as close to him as you can get... Then tell him you'll stop when he does.

Yes we are married. It's never been an issue before but I guess I didn't fart much. Since having my son I definitely have more gas and less control. I guess I just feel awkward now. Another one slipped out when I coughed 15 mins ago and I felt so uncomfortable about it, which feels so wrong with my own family!

So, tell him to leave the room whenever you feel it's about to erupt.

'so musical'

Absolutely tell him to stop farting in front of you. Until he stops farting in front of you, you will fart freely around him.

I know it’s not what you asked but just wanted to reassure you it should settle down. I found they’d escape really easily post birth (episiotomy) and it has settled.

Ridiculous double standard and he’s being a bit of a cock body shaming you post birth when women often feel vulnerable.

@Nobhobs, have you asked him why it's okay for him to make such a performance out of farting whilst you are not supposed to let off even the occasional one in his royal presence?

Chomping at the bit to hear his reasoning.

Why tho?! Fart and be proud!!
He has no qualms making a performance in front of you when it's him, I'd be doing the same and I'm not even kidding!
Balls to one rule for him and another for you lol

Double standards are so unfair! Lol 😂 that your DH is referred to as an arsehole with the subject matter being farting! Definitely call him out on his behaviour. You should feel comfortable in your own home OP

I highly recommend processed peas

Also chickpeas, and chickpea related products.

God's teeth.

I’m now wondering whether farts would really ‘keep’ in a mason jar...

It’s horrible being made to feel embarrassed in your own home, OP. He’s a hypocrite.

Sit on his face and let rip op

I second this!

Snap and shart, that'll learn him!

Sit on his face and let rip op

Or fart when you're in bed and stick the covers over his head.

It’s awful and you need to tell him how horrible it is

I'll stop farting in front of you, if you stop farting in front of me. Stop being a prick, we all do it

Point it out every time he farts. Make him feel bad about it and hopefully he’ll realise he’s being a dickhead.

That sort of request would be like a red rag to a bull for me. I'd be caning the mushy peas and raw onion, and gently relaxing into an evening of firing at will.

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

That's amazing 🤣

When I asked why he said he just doesn't like it. I said so what I'm supposed to go upstairs to the toilet every time? Or hold them in and get painful cramps? And he just sighed and said to forget he said anything. Then when another slipped out whilst coughing he didn't say anything but just had this look on my face and I felt really ashamed almost! I'm just so annoyed he's mentioned it and made me feel insecure. We're supposed to be comfortable around each other!
