To ask DP to stop farting on the new sofa?

[Foundmy]

Not the most pleasant topic but our last sofa was really stinky where my DP sat (same spot all the time). Every time he sat down there’s be a woosh of stale fart/cabbage smell & I could smell it at other times too. I hate it! I’m pregnant as well so I can smell everything even more now!

The new sofa is starting to go the same way I’ve asked him to stop farting on the sofa & to plump up the cushion & flip it occasionally but he’s not too happy about this! 😁

Anyone else have the same issue? Any ideas too for how to combat this? The sofa has been treated with anti stain stuff so I don’t think we’re meant to wipe it down. I also tried febreeze sprays on the last sofa but it didn’t cut it.

‘This makes sense given farts have faecal particles’

I once told 8 year old dd to stop farting on the table as she would leave poo crumbs’

We were both hysterical for hours. Even now she is 14 if one of us says poo crumbs we both start crying with laughter. Dh just doesn’t get it. He stands there bemused,

Should he get his bowels checked ...seriously maybe a cancer check? This isn’t normal. Eliminate chick peas, lentils and real-ales too.

Rather than puppy pads, could you find some kind of throw that is plasticy on one side, with a soft side to sit on? Something for the old and incontinent (not that he is, but you get the idea).

@TheEmojiFormerlyKnownAsPrince that reminds me of the poo crumbs thread! Do you remember that one? I can’t remember the specifics but I think it was a man sleeping in the buff and leaving actual poo crumbs in the OP’s bed as he didn’t wipe his bottom properly

@SpillingTheTea

Ewww! I flip my cushions over regularly. Tbh DP doesn't fart in front of me after he did it one time and it stunk so bad I was gagging and almost sick. I hate people farting in front of me anyway. It's so vulgar!

Vulgar, eh.

I think farts are very funny, as it happens. So do all my family.

XH disagreed, though that's only one reason he's an XH.

In Old MN-speak: PMSL at farting being a sign of cancer.

It might be, obviously. But in real life, some people just fart a lot.And it's bloody funny.

@Haffiana

Low-carb diet will eliminate farts entirely.

Hmmm....are you sure? I heard that people on the Atkins diet emit bad smells from every orifice.

This is abhorrent. Tell him to shove a Cork up it!! So grateful to be single at present.

@Meraas that actually made me feel a bit ill.

Another vote for shreddies fart pants, change of diet and he needs to stop being so dang rude.

Steam clean! His arse and the sofa.

@LemonPeonies

Farts are natural.

I can think of plenty of "natural" things I wouldn't want coming into contact with my soft furnishings.

You've just woken my baby up by making me shake with laughter while holding him

Yeah- totes hilarious he is ruining sofas and making them smell of shit! Such a conversation starter when friends come round and smell it! Sofas are well cheap after all and it costs nothing to replace them when they smell of faeces- every few months tee hee!
🙄🙄🙄

I have a rubber backed picnic rug, originally bought to cover the back seat of the car when the I bought a wet dog home from the beach. It's a dark tartan, I popped it in the washing machine, hung it to drip in the bath, then put it on delicate in the tumble dryer to get dig hairs off. Sadly lost the dog but still use the rug for the ndn's dog. l'd buy a throw, M&S had velour lined double sided ones last year. Also change your dh's diet, things like cabbage, cauliflower, beer, onions don't suit everyone's digestion.

For those of you who find farting amusing look up Le Petomane. I remember my late dh bringing this book home, leaving it on the coffee table. Mum and I tried to look disgusted but even now 40 years later I still cry with laughter at the thought.

Yessssss it came from the poo crumbs thread. And that was another hilarious thread!

Sorry for waking the baby😁😈

My ex had the same spot on the sofa and used to royally trump away every night. It was hideous after he ate meals like chilli or a curry it actually made me want to vomit all over him. He bought an extremely ludicrously expensive corner sofa and the single patch that he sat on and daily trumped on absolutely reeked of cabbage. No matter how much febreze, air freshener, carpet vac was used on it. I could never imagine treating such an expensive item with such disrespect. Hope he's enjoying is trumpy sofa all by himself now.

No it's not, it's rank. I hate people who just randomly fart, it's so unnecessary 🤢

I can’t find the Poo crumbs thread😕

@HopeAndDriftWood

What does he eat that makes his farts embed in the sofa?!

That is foul.

I’d guess at probably a decades worth of residual meat/burgers/sausages trapped in the pockets of his colon 🤮

@Givemeabreak88

Wow it’s time’s like this when I’m glad I’m single.

Agreed - Along with approx 3,000 other reasons 😂

I've never known my husband to fart even once. Mind you, I've only known him for 45 years.

Gosh, what does your bed smell like?
Farting like that is so disrespectful!

@Givemeabreak88

Wow it’s time’s like this when I’m glad I’m single.

It’s times like this I’m glad I’m not married to someone gross.

Ewww... Puppy pads? Stick a few on his chair to act as a barrier. Cover with a throw if need be.
