DH farted on my meal

294 replies

AIBU not to want to finish a meal that DH farted on?

Context: I had eaten maybe half my food, DH had finished the record time as usual - positions his arse next to my plate - with his arse touching the table - and farts.

He thinks I'm overreacting that I called him an animal and didn't eat the remainder of my food.

And you married this individual!!?
Is he I’ll?

I would say how immature, how old is your DH - but actually I couldn't even imagine my 11yr old ever doing something like that - nor would most (properly raised) children. So you can't even say its childish behaviour - it's just vile and disgusting. You should send him to his mother and tell her exactly why. He should be ashamed. Farting in bed or in front of the TV - I could forgive, it happens - but over someone's food? So low.

Justbefair · 02/12/2022 20:07

Was it a full on pulling pants down fart? Honestly men are just overgrown boys when they do things like this but I do admit I would find if funny, not at the time though. X

Disgusting 🐷

Tessabelle74 · 02/12/2022 20:23

That's fucking rank! Especially as I found out that smells are particulate so he basically shit on your food! Anyone over 6 finding this amusing needs therapy

franbrad · 02/12/2022 20:26

Can't even refer to him as your DH but more like DP (Disgusting pig). I don't know how anyone would find that amusing.

I would genuinely divorce my husband if he did this. I'm not even joking. This is worthy of divorce.

This. That is fucking disgusting and I’d have tipped the remaining dinner over his head, moved into the spare room and got a solicitor on Monday

cavalier · 02/12/2022 20:40

You need a talk with him heart to heart because this is so disrespectful.
it’s a no brainer 🤷🏻‍♀️ disgusting

KarenandFour · 02/12/2022 20:46

I’d have made him order me a takeaway but after being cross I’d have probably found it funny 🤷‍♀️

Seriously?

You'd be happy to

  1. Have spent time buying the ingredients for a meal.
  1. Have spent time cooking a meal.
  1. Be happy to them throw the bought and cooked food away.
  1. Having been happy eating your meal, then had to throw it in the bin
  1. Had to then wait until a takeaway was ordered/collected

And you would've laughed?

Greenshed · 02/12/2022 21:14

Well, if he has done this, and you say he has so therefore no reason to disbelieve you, then his behaviour is disgusting and I wouldn’t eat my meal either. In fact, he’s behaving very childishly. Time he grew up and started behaving, like, you know, an actual adult human being, not a silly 6 year old. Do you think he’s capable of that? (Being an adult, that is).

Adultkids · 02/12/2022 21:22

If he'd done this to me he'd have been wearing the rest of my dinner

Missingpop · 02/12/2022 21:29

Dirty pig I’d have smashed the plate over the disgusting pigs head; why would he do something so vile? Is he always this immature? do you have children who witness this behaviour? Why would you want to stay with such a revolting; immature; disgusting excuse of a man I’d kicked the fucking animal out & change all the locks.

DohaDragon · 01/12/2022 19:05

Dh did something similar years ago so I waited until the next time he was partaking in oral sex and farted right in his face! Revenge is a dish best served cold as they say.

I’m in tears laughing at this I’m surprised he didn’t hurl his guts up; I bet he’s not ventured south since😂😂😂

Fluffmum · 02/12/2022 21:37

He’s disgusting

browneyes77 · 02/12/2022 21:41

That’s absolutely disgusting 🤢🤢🤮

FelicityFlops · 02/12/2022 21:42

If inadvertent, not nice, but you can have a laugh.
If deliberate that is more or less having a shit on your food and totally unacceptable, unless he is a monkey.
Given that you took time off to look after him and it appears to be deliberate, I would give him his marching orders.
Totally unacceptable and very vulgar.

KarenandFour · 02/12/2022 22:43

Yep probably (after I’d been cross as I said)

BeverlyGoldberg · 01/12/2022 19:03

He's pissed off that I'm pissed off after he's apologised and now he's got the football on.

He had minor surgery (on a bone, not lifesaving) and I've taken a few days off work to look after him. I've waited on him hand and foot all day and now this.

What a fucking pig.

He sounds immature and a bit of an asshole who don’t appreciate you. Is he in the mind set of an adult conversation (I have a man child of a man as well and 3 children with him… I am sick of the man child bullshit as well…) and can appreciate that these kind of men are hard to talk to in an adult manner. Unless it’s something they “want” to be pissed at you about… and am still waiting for the adult chat about this kind of bullshit. I hope you are ok. And personally I’d just stop running after his ass and leave him to it to look after himself maybe give a reminder of the help you give.

Mamanyt · 03/12/2022 00:44

Why is it that so many men never outgrow the potty/fart joke stage, and it is NEVER funny. Understandable when the farter is nine years old, not so much once they are adults.

Read ALL of your posts, first thinking perhaps this was one of those that sneaks up on a person unawares, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The fact that he attempted to gaslight you just adds to that.

Yep...send him to his mother. With any luck at all, he'll enjoy being a little boy so much that he'll stay there.

Why would you feel the need to ask anyone else if this was unreasonable?

When you have lived long enough with someone who continuously tells you that you are crazy, "too sensitive," irrational, "hormonal," and/or stupid, you start to question yourself. That may be why. Took me years to be able to make a decision, or even have a thought about something without checking myself or asking someone else what they thought.

Whilst I would 100% agree with you under those horrible circumstances and I’m so sorry you had to endure them, I feel in this case the poster is only asking if she is right to be annoyed that someone farted in her food!.

IamMaz · 03/12/2022 08:28

That’s revolting. I couldn’t have eaten it either.

Spit in his coffee!!!!

Ddot · 03/12/2022 09:14

No respect! Leave him to look after himself, go out and have coffee and cake
