To be angry with DH and his greediness

Every year this happens, DH loves food, DH eats lots and lots of food. He eats a huge Christmas dinner then keeps going to the fridge and eating the leftovers. Yesterday we had a buffet, he ate loads yesterday too, today he ate buffet leftovers and cooked up all the leftovers I hadn’t cooked. He’s now farting like mad and complaining he had a sore stomach. Next he’ll be complaining he’s put on weight and we will have the saga of him losing it again.

To be fair he is built like an athlete, runs and gyms most days so he can eat loads. But he has zero willpower over food, he eats really fast, so gulps down air then farts loads. He gets greedy so if they’re a tub of Pringles he wants to eat them all. I told him to go take some Deflatine and he says he can’t be bothered so I’m kind of glad he had a sore stomach.

I’ve also just started my period so I’m going to have cramps tomorrow so I am angry for no reason and if he farts on the night and annoys me I’m going to kick him to sleep on the sofas because right now I hate him.

Oh so you’re a panic buyer too - great. Bet you bought all the bog roll and pasta during the pandemic didn’t you? It’s people like you that cause chaos in the shops and ensure vulnerable people end up going without. You and your farting husband.

In a thread full of insane overreactions and judgments on op which commenters seem to have pulled from their arses, this might win the prize of most ridiculous assumption. Buying and making too much food isn’t the same as panic buying! Most people buy a bit extra at Christmas. That’s not the same as emptying the aisles of toilet paper during the pandemic!

Lol....welcome to Christmas!

I know someone like this, he just can't seem to help it. Like an insatiable hunger and piles up food high when he can. Not overweight so could be metabolism? X

My two (adult) children always have a farting contest after Christmas dinner and now the grandchildren have started joining in. It’s the sprouts …😷

I think as long as people don’t take everything so there is nothing left for anyone else then it’s fine to over indulge at Christmas, it’s the one time of year I really eat whatever I want. Brussels make all of us fart , I actually really like them but rarely eat them.

To be fair OP says herself she always has to have 60 toilet rolls in. Thats excessive and lends itself to the probability that OP did panic buy toilet roll during the pandemic. There was barely enough going around to buy one pack of 4, never mind 60

Telling someone to leave their husband because they over indulge at Christmas and fart, Christ on a bike!
My husband farts, and we laugh, we all fart, and if you say you don't, you're a smelly little fibber and I bet your eggy bowloffs (yes bowl-off, my little un calls them this instead of blow off !) smell worse than anyones because you hold them up there so long! lol
Be proud of your gassy emissions! So little to smile about atm, indulge yourself! lol

@ItcanbeDone

@Primrose97

gross! Who wants to breathe in the smell of their intestines when trying to chill out after dinner

@LuckySantangelo35 and you sound about 120 and uptight as fuck
Go and have a big fart release some of your miserable tension

My 17 year old son is the same. He stuffs himself and always hogs bottles of smoothies which I buy for my daughter as well. He's cooking 2nd dinner for himself before bed. We had roast yesterday then visited my friend and after 2 hours he was moaning he wants to go home for dinner (after scoffing 3 luxury yogurts while there)
