AIBU to suggest DH F***S OFF

Me and DH both work from home since all his overseas work got transformed into virtual platforms last year thanks to Covid. We've been holed up together for 14 months now and his farting is driving me mad. If he was in any other work place he wouldn't be letting them rip like he does. When I tell him off (to no effect) I get 'better out that in'', So the whole house continuously stinks of bum gas he claims not to be able to smell. But if the cat farts OMG it's like a greek tradegy- DH yells at the poor cat and runs around the house dementedly opening windows.
So I've decided that now there is the option of a shared work space just down the road, I'm going to ask him to shift his farty bum down there. I can't because my work involved tools, blowtorches etc (dangerous when there is so much methane in our home air). I think this is completely reasonable because asking him to fart in the toilet with the door closed isn't working and I've already made sure he doesn't eat beans.

Sorry but he farts around a blowtorches 😂😂😂😂😂

mainsfed · 24/05/2021 17:49

YANBU.

Has he agreed to fuck off down the road?

Why couldn't he work in another room?

Merryoldgoat · 24/05/2021 18:09

Oh OP. I feel this so much.

My DH is very gassy and it makes me enraged. I don’t get it.

Checkingout811 · 24/05/2021 18:12

Sorry OP I’m sure this is shit to live with but it just gave me the biggest laugh 😂

YANBU- tell him to move!

MrsLangOnionsMcWeetabix · 24/05/2021 18:13

If DH shouted at the cat for farting he would not only be working elsewhere he would be living elsewhere. What a dick.

Mellonsprite · 24/05/2021 18:19

Lol. I’ve had to cut back on beans on toast for lunch too.

tattleandbagels · 24/05/2021 18:21

YANBU

He wouldn't be farting at work or if you were on a first date, so he's just being a dick. A very unattractive one. I would start flirting with someone else for a start.

But the blowtorches and the farts? GrinGrin

Iwonder08 · 24/05/2021 18:29

Honestly, you are very reasonable. Actually I would divorce over this

Strugglingtodomybest · 24/05/2021 18:32

I feel your pain.

SchrodingersImmigrant · 24/05/2021 18:34

What did hos doctor say? Because non stop farting which smells as strong is not sign normal healthy insides. And I say that as a person who is not stingy with farts. 1 fart better than 100 doctors!😂

HangOnToYourself · 24/05/2021 18:34

Thank you so much for making me appreciate being single 😂

lifeinlimbo2020 · 24/05/2021 18:34

My DH was bad last night and did one so loud at 3:30am it woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep. I was fuming 😡😡

ThankYouHunkyJesus · 24/05/2021 18:39

I guess you never fart then.

Shergill15 · 24/05/2021 18:59

YANBU. This is a bugbear of mine - they wouldn't do it in a shared office/train etc so why in front of you? Get him down the road. The one bit of mitigation I would offer though is that cat farts are gross so don't blame him opening the windows Grin

Newbie8365 · 24/05/2021 19:03

Hahaha OP, are you me? I worked out it was protein shakes causing my DH to stink so I gave him the option of living in the shed or cutting out the shakes.

He cut out the shakes and there's been no more smells angels singing

Zzelda · 24/05/2021 19:03

What does he do when he is in the office? I hope he doesn't inflict this on his work colleagues? If he can control it there, he can control it at home.

Aquamarine1029 · 24/05/2021 19:05

WTF is wrong with him? This much farting is not normal or healthy? Is he obese? Is his diet utter shit? He's gross and disrespectful. Yuck.

Babygotblueyes · 24/05/2021 19:07

I have a male friend for the last 30 years who still thinks it is funny to come over and then fart a lot. Vile.

ThinWomansBrain · 24/05/2021 19:07

just wave the blowtorch in the direction of his backside next time?

Shodan · 24/05/2021 19:08

XH used to fart, noxiously and repetitively, all evening , every evening and they were rank. All pleas to move his gas-producing self elsewhere were met with eye rolls and claims that it was natural and I was being overly fussy.

He really couldn't understand why I didn't want to have sex with him after an evening of his farting Confused Grin

Tell your DH that he either farts considerately, OR moves to another space to indulge himself, or there'll be no more sex for him.

wildeverose · 24/05/2021 19:08

Bum gas

NecklessMumster · 24/05/2021 19:09

Thing is my DP says he does fart at work, it's all male, and they don' t seem to care ( not office).

osbertthesyrianhamster · 24/05/2021 19:10

So why have him in your house? He shows up and you tell him he's not coming in because he has no respect for you or your home.
Notaroadrunner · 24/05/2021 19:12

@ThankYouHunkyJesus

I guess you never fart then.
Most people would consider their surroundings before letting one rip and not totally disregard someone asking them not to do it.

Op I'd insist he fucks off down the road. He sounds gross.
