BFs farting

AIBU to be so out of BF because of his farting?

We've been together 6 years and have 2 toddlers. I love him in every other way but his constant farting literally makes my stomach twist in a knot with rage.

He knows I hate it but he doesn't seem to care or try to do anything to stop. I've suggested he goes to the GP incase he's lactose intolerant or something but never does.

Last night I ended up coming out to sleep on the sofa because he kept farting real wet ones and wouldn't stop despite me asking.

It really turns me off him.

@Bepis exactly!!

Your previous post had me laughing out loud though. DH wondered what was going on...I read it to him and he burst out laughing 😂

Brilliant! I’m waiting on DH getting in as he will find this all equally funny. Life’s too short, gotta have a giggle when you can! 🤣🤣

It sounds that on a subconscious level, you are jealous of your partner's ability to produce farts, and so have fixated on them. With your stoma you cannot control this function and so direct yourself to his carelessness with which he chooses to fart. Would it help to talk through your feelings in therapy?

Farting is not abuse.

It's like the episode of friends when Chandler goes on a date with the women with an artificial leg, he's totally cool and accepting of it then she sees his 'nubin/3rd nipple' freaks out and runs off.

Fusciainertia · 15/12/2022 21:29

OK well what if he farts on your face but it doesn't smell?

Bepis · 15/12/2022 21:33

@Fusciainertia I was sat on the bed once facing away from DH. He suddenly farted so loud and he had edged his backside behind my head. It made me jump and I threw my phone across the bed in one direction and I jumped in the other direction 😂

Tell him the truth, it really puts me off you and I'm going to ask you to leave soon if you don't stop it in front of me. X

i just couldn’t live with this; it’s so disrespectful. If he had a genuine medical issue it might be different but even then, it wouldn’t excuse his totally uncaring attitude towards you. If he loved you he would try to modify his behaviour but that doesn’t seem to be a likely scenario. He knows he upsetting you but isn’t bothered about it which indicates he’s exercising power play and control. You’ve asked him to modify his gross behaviour and he is deliberately continuing to do it, showing you who’s boss and putting you in your place. Therefore it would be ultimatum time for me. I take it he doesn’t do this at work, or in front of other people; it’s a behaviour he keeps just for you.

Showing who's boss 😂😂😂 fuck me it's a fart by your post you'd think he's committed murder. Everybody had a bit of wind!!
