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.

Why on earth did he do that? In what world would that work as a joke? Especially if you're off work to help him. It just seems utterly bizarre to me.

If this is part of a pattern, LTB may be the way forward.

Clarabell77 · 01/12/2022 20:48

That’s disgusting. My husband thinks farting is hilarious, it irritates me as it’s so childish.

Blowyourowntrumpet · 01/12/2022 20:50

It's grim, but it won't make your food inedible.

UniversalAunt · 01/12/2022 20:51

@slowquickstep ah, beat me to it.

Please ask El Farto where the ground glass is as you are planning food for the weekend.

Seriously, he is vile & disrespectful.
Is this the first time he has behaved in this way?
Time for a performance review - do you really want this man in your life?

ColdHandsHotHead · 01/12/2022 20:51

I would honestly dump a guy who was capable of behaving like this. I wouldn't want that sort of fuckwittage in my life.

Revolting

Thanks to everyone who has replied.

We've just had a massive row about it. He argument is that I also fart - yes I do I would never intentionally aim it in the direction of someone's food.

He has apologised but I'm not ready to accept it. Whoever said it's demeaning is entirely right. That's how I feel.

I'm not LTB'ing, but equally he can fuck off for the level of care and attention he's been getting while recovering. I've told him he can stay with his mother.

The fact he thinks it's ok to behave this way is deeply concerning. Can you honestly imagine this blowing over and everything going back to normal?

I couldn't get past this.

My ex used to burp loudly when i was talking, it basically a way of him saying "i dont like you"
Without actually saying it

FMSucks · 01/12/2022 20:57

YABU for calling him an animal. Animals are much better behaved than your husband. What a disgusting thing to do. So disrespectful

ArcaneWireless · 01/12/2022 20:58

The clarty mink.

I would be dialling back the nurse Nancy role.

My ex used to say there was nothing funnier than wind.

Maybe not if you are 3.

Thursa · 01/12/2022 20:59

He’s disgusting and he’d be getting no more help from me while he recuperates!

Coil one out on his pillow.

This..

Wrinklydinkly · 01/12/2022 21:00

I read this post to my husband,he says it's just nasty .

Herejustforthisone · 01/12/2022 21:00

That is truly disgusting. You’re tending to his every need and he does that? What a revolting cunt.

Text his mother and tell her what he's done, and that you're finished looking after him. She can have him back and sort him out.

Ludo19 · 01/12/2022 21:04

He's not an animal, animals don't behave like that.

He is however disgusting

Conkersareback · 01/12/2022 21:05

Why the fuck is it his mothers job, to sort out a fully grown man? Does it have to be a woman's fault that he's revolting?

Why would she want him back?

PutinSmellsPassItOn · 01/12/2022 21:06

That's fucking disgusting.

I can laugh at a fart but that's way overcrowding the line, I'd consider it abusive tbh.

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.

😂

deeperthanallroses · 01/12/2022 21:08

At least you do have decent boundaries. Hopefully he learns now you’ve put your foot down. He’s taking it so badly because it’s ok to be disgusting but he doesn’t like yoi making him feel disgusting. Too bad, that was disgusting.

Show quote history

Maybe he picked up the trick from his father.
(Another case of women being blamed for what men do.)

SobranieCocktail · 01/12/2022 21:11

I have a juvenile sense of humour and find farts pretty funny. But NOT this. I would be so pissed off.

Has he said why he did this? I’m genuinely curious as to the thought process.
