DH farted on my meal

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.

Don't eat it.
Order a takeaway on him.

YABU for making a thread about this it’s fucking disgusting, shall I make a thread about my DP’s toilet habits? Absolutely gross I can’t even go on a website like this without someone disgusting over sharing.

Why the fuck did you open it, the title says it all!

Stop being pathetic and faux disgusted.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This is so funny

Men are disgusting even worse he did it deliberately.

Some men definitely but generally no.

What the OP describes is extraordinarily uncouth and definitely not normal.

I can't speak for others, but faced with such awful behaviour it would irrevocably kill any attraction or desire to be intimate in me.

I would be mortified, never see him in the same light, and these things might unsurprisingly lead to the permanent fracture of a relationship for many.

Respect is so important in any relationship.

Once it's gone, it's game over for many.

He doesn't respect or cherish her.
He couldn't, and behave like that.

He certainly doesn't value her view of him that he would be so cavalier with it.

But seriously... are people honestly saying that they would divorce someone for farting on the table?

Yes.

and to be honest, I wouldn’t have got with somebody who would entertain the idea of doing this in the first place.

Yet you opened the thread. The title clearly states the subject matter. Surely you suspected it may offend your sensibilities?

liarliarshortsonfire · 01/12/2022 22:14

Me and dh fart and we find it highly amusing, but I'd go ballistic if dh farted on my food. I'd be fucked if I'd look after him now, if you've got the day off tomorrow take yourself off somewhere nice and leave him to it.

I have to question why he thought it would be funny and acceptable in the first place. What an idiot

butterfliedtwo · 01/12/2022 22:14

I'd rather be single for the rest of my life. I honestly can't see the humour in this. He aimed for her food. It's gross and childish.

Either that, or they are scrupulously clean and shiny of tooth, and still think that farting is very, very funny.

How ANYONE can think that the OP's husband did is 'funny' just beggars belief. Juvenile and foul and gross. And you don't have to lack a sense of humour to think that.

Canthave2manycats · 01/12/2022 22:19

He's a disgusting pig. Make it clear in no uncertain terms that you will never, ever tolerate this behaviour again.

There's farting and there's farting - let's face it, we all do it - but to direct it at your food is just repulsive!

OhIdoLike2bBesideTheSeaside · 01/12/2022 22:22

BeverlyGoldberg · 01/12/2022 18:55

I haven't made this up. I'm kind of heartened people think it's made up in a way because that means that I'm not overreacting. I'm seriously pissed off. He's since apologised but I'm not relenting.

I mean
Go and tell him to pack his bags
Just revolting 🤢

OutFortheBirds · 01/12/2022 22:50

@BeverlyGoldberg That’s vile. It’s not funny. He sounds like a bully.
You deserve to eat your dinner in peace.

Piss on his trousers while he’s wearing them. Tell him he’s overreacting if he doesn’t continue to wear them for the rest of the day, see how he likes it.

What was it Terry Wogan used to say about people who would sit next to their radio or in front of their TV, just waiting to be offended?!

@Miss03852 hahahah you are ridiculous!

Yes. I would. If someone who I’ve chosen as a life partner showed me that level of disrespect, I would realise I’d made a terrible mistake. Sorry you’ve got such low standards though, it must be tough.

musingsinmidlife · 01/12/2022 23:21

I can't imagine anyone older than 3 doing that without knowing it wasn't funny.

Is this the tip of the iceberg? An adult man who would do that would be challenged to treat anyone with respect. I bet you have a hundred more stories of his boorish and immature and disrespectful behaviour.

CreatingHavoc · 01/12/2022 23:21

@BeverlyGoldberg Just fyi, my ex used to do stupid shit like this. He was also abusive in other ways. Might be time to consider if there are any other behaviours that point in that direction. Or he could of course just be an immature twat.

WafflesOrIceCream · 01/12/2022 23:28

He has no manners what so ever!You should have poked his bum with the fork!

Less the farting, more the WTF?! And his weird gaslighting justification afterwards. This isn’t a rational respectful person. This can’t be the first batshit thing he’s done…and then refused accountability for.

ClemmyTine · 01/12/2022 23:29

Show him this thread and let him know what other people think of his behaviour.

billy1966 · 01/12/2022 23:41

One further point OP, did you prepare the meal?

Because I swear to God if someone disrespected a meal that I had prepared in that manner, hell would freeze over before I would cook for them again.

I cannot believe this behaviour is in isolation combined with his annoyance and gaslighting.

He sounds like abusive scum.

Do yourself a favour and reflect honestly in your own time about what you are putting up with.

I think @butterfliedtwo speaks for many who would prefer to be single than waste their life in such foul company.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 01/12/2022 23:50

Urgh, YANBU. Well that goes without saying really, However. YABU to call him an animal. An animal wouldn't something so vile rude and disgusting.

bloodyplanes · 01/12/2022 23:54

He would have been wearing the rest of the food if he did that to me!
