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.

Revolting.
I'd change his diet cutting out all wheat ( including hops) and dairy, so plain vegetables and only a little if any meat, and no beer until he stops farting in your shared space.

My exh was like this, come in from work and spent all night farting Tbh I found it so disrespectful and not in the least bit amusing. Put me right off him. Funnily enough he remarried and the dc tell me he does not fart in front of his new wife, he just saved that for me.

YANBU.

Sitting down too much causes farts, maybe get him moving around a bit more? Or have great afternoon sex with the windows open

Its his home too and can fart if he wants to

YANBU
But he may be in denial about having IBS.....I’d also nag nag nag him to get a full colonoscopy.

I'd spray him with febreeze every time 🤣🤣

What a pig.

hookiewookie29 · 24/05/2021 19:56

Buy cans of air freshener and spray them excessively every time he farts.

upaladderagain · 24/05/2021 22:35

Does he show this much disrespect for you in other areas too?
I wouldn't be sharing a house with such a pig. We all fart but some of us take ourselves off to the loo or outside and don't inflict it on others.
