To be angry with DH and his greediness

[headache]

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.

😂Did you even read the OP?- he's literally giving himself stomach pains because of it but fine, you're right, that's totally normal and healthy to eat so much you get actual pain from it isnt it? 🙄

If he’s eating fast not chewing and gulping air these will more likely be the cause rather than quantity

I know. And someone is arguing he eats so much he’s giving himself wind, like farting is some form of unusual activity. Trapped Wind gives you stomach pain, food you’re not used to can make you fart. Doesn’t mean it’s anything to do with quantity. But we have someone who seems to think farting and trapped wind is something related exclusively to gluttony.

im also finding the abuse being hurled at this man odd, I’d bet some of the people doing it, are not like him, gym fit and athetic, but overweight and sedentary

As I’m a bit of a donut tonight I posted my reply on the wrong thread 🤦‍♀️ so I’ve copied and pasted

Oh this thread has made me chuckle I went to bed last night zero responses, come back tonight 177 calling me overweight and jealous, telling me I should leave my vile gluttonous husband who is a different social class to me 🤣 as he eats too much at Christmas.

In my OP I had said I had just started my period, I’m peri-menopausal periods are awful, I was having stomach cramps and I knew tomorrow (today) I would wake up sore with heavy heavy bleeding so I was hating the world. Then DH comes upstairs complaining of stomach pains as he’s been eating all the leftovers and Christmas food. He’s also very windy which was annoying me.

I always buy and make too much food, it’s part of Christmas, I have four teenagers and a DH who eats loads as he’s a long distance runner and daily gym goer. We also had family up and I’m also paranoid about running out of food so always overbuy. I wasn’t planning to use the leftovers I had told everyone, everything was fair game.

I’m not overweight and we are both the same social class 😃

my other post

Also my DH doesn’t overeat all the time, just now and again but especially at Christmas. Come January he will be clean eating, no alcohol, biscuits, cakes body is a temple so he can lose his Christmas weight, he was at the gym at 7am this morning farty bum and all!

Hmm, this is a hard one to judge… does he ask you to pull his finger each time he breaks wind?

I’m not sure you should stay married to someone who doesn’t. It’s not normal.

Good luck, OP.

I feel proper sorry for the other gym goers having to smell his rancid, binge eating farts.

@LuckySantangelo35 it was a joke thankfully his wind has lessened today

This wins Insane Thread of the Day (well, yesterday) 😂Well done to OP, freaky food controllers and sharp-witted responders 🏆 Mince pie, anyone?

come back tonight 177 calling me overweight and jealous, telling me I should leave my vile gluttonous husband who is a different social class to me 🤣 as he eats too much at Christmas.

Tbf, it was a bit more nuanced than that. You got a range of responses, most addressing the actual information you provided.

On balance most posters said eating a bit too much at Christmas was quite usual, but inflicting noxious farts was fairly unpleasant. Which it is.

You seemed pretty fed up with him in your posts - great that it's all lighthearted & fine now!

It was a very odd joke. I’m not sure I’d be delighted if my husband started threads and wrote about me like you did him. But hey if laughing at your husbands expense and declaring you hate him does it for you, crack on

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.

I can see the OP probably meant her post slightly in jest and was feeling hacked off because of her painful period so I completely get how she might feel irrationally annoyed at him. I am a bit surprised by how many people have weighed in on the DH though. I was on another thread and the OP was saying she is worried her DH might be controlling and that he often polices what she eats. And rightly so everyone on there was calling him out and saying it’s none of his business what she eats. She is free to stuff her face full of whatever she chooses. It’s in stark contrast to this thread where a surprising number of people are saying the DH is unattractive and greedy, gives people the ick…. I realise there was an additional flatulence issue as well… but although the OP made her comments lightheartedly in the main it hasn’t been taken that way and people have launched an attack on this man for eating a lot at Xmas! It sounds like he is very fit and will work hard to burn it all off again so why the vitriol being aimed at him when over on the other thread people are staunchly defending the OP’s right to eat what she wants. It feels hypocritical and sexist to me.

@BustyLaRoux That’s MN at its finest - never knowingly consistent 😂

😆😆😆 foodies are disgusting? What?

Not where we live! "Most people" have manners and are pleasant to be around.

I think 'foodie' may have different meanings to different people

I know a few people who class themselves as 'foodies' and they're very overweight, greedy and will just eat practically anything put in front of them.

This thread is absolutely hilarious and peak MN - bird like appetites and cats buns mouths all round 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Cats BUMS

Gluttony is very unattractive, my DH slurps the good into his mouth, burps and gets all excited like it’s sexual. It’s killed the attraction a bit for me.

And I’m sick of the competitive farts

I'm pissing myself at the bloody Deflatine 🤣🤣🤣

There are so many food police on here. It's Christmas, don't most people overindulge?

I get that him complaining about his stomach is annoying, so tell him if he overindulges and gets stomach ache, then he isn't allowed to complain.

And I wear a stoma, and I miss my morning farts, so let him enjoy his farts.

It’s Christmas.

why are you even taking note of how much and how fast your fella eats?

You never win do you?
