Husband farting is giving me the ick

[Marriedtoafarter]

What can I do / say to stop my husband farting so much. He claims he can’t help it but I can hear he forces them out and they stink. I’ve said it isn’t fair for me to breathe in that air, said it gives me the ick, asked politely, asked sharply, asked so many times for it to stop and it does maybe for an hour or two but then he will fart again when we go to bed for example and it makes me shudder.

I love him so much but it makes me not want to cuddle or kiss him let alone anything else!!!

Any advice??? 😷

As per usual some ridiculous replies.

Apparently, if you dont want to deeply inhale your partner's smelly farts daily it means you dont love them, I presume that also applies to them burping in your face - you should relish that and consider it something beautiful or else you are "controlling". 😂

I would hate this. It's absolutely base. I've been with dh for 30 years and he's farted in front of me really rarely. He has a healthy diet and drinks a lot of water.

I have always farted a lot and found the first few months of a relationship difficult because if I hold it in I get really uncomfortable. To those saying go the toilet it's not that simple, because when you get to the toilet it's gone back up and you can't do it. I'm lucky in that despite my excessive wind and IBS they rarely smell, possibly because I am vegetarian. One of the reasons I have stayed single for a long time is because I can't face going through all that again!

Yes of course! It's disrespectful for anyone to treat anyone else like this. Nobody is saying you must live in a home where you can't fart, they are saying go into another room and shut the door first.

Oh FGS. Another thread where the OP posts the first post and then doesn't come back. 🙄

Yes I agree and sympathise with OP being grossed out and she should absolutely ask him to fart elsewhere, ideally out of smelling range.

My comment about being controlling was on the suggested convo tips by another PP. But also I don't agree that farting in the home and office are comparable really.

He wouldn't so that anywhere near a pretty young girl at work.

I've been married many years and maybe heard my husband fart once and he's never heard me fart as both of us would leave the room.

Our diets and digestive systems are very good and speaking for myself farting is not a regular occurrence.

The tone reminds me of the recent nappy thread ....

You have me in fits of giggles

I agree you can definitely tell when someone is forcing them out.

It’s disgusting. Maybe he should check his diet as the smell is so bad, but I bet he doesn’t fart constantly around his boss.

An ex boyfriend was like this. I hadn't been with him long and found it horrible especially as my previous partners didn't do it in front of me and I never do in front of others. This ex just found it funny. He even laughed when I explained that I wanted some mystery and spark in a relationship and that I didn't like the deliberate farting and burping. He wasn't laughing when I ended the relationship as I had the ick so badly I couldn't come back from it.

This. My husband was similar but has cut out dairy and has made so much difference. Secondly, does he wolf his food down? I feel like the more work done in the mouth, the less is needed in the gut. My sympathy as I know how revolting this is!!

Never? That's so weird. I can't imagine being with someone so uptight.

Having standards, self-respect and couth is not being "uptight."

I've never in my life heard a lover or any other male in my life do this. Nor they, me.

Eh? How is it weird? If you don’t fart you’re uptight? 😂😂😂😂. Heard it all now !

I found that if my dp had milk he stank and couldn’t stop farting and when I told him he couldn’t have milk for a week because I think that’s why he farts so much he agreed to try it and sure enough after a couple days he wasn’t as gaseous or smelly so he limits his intact of milk now.

Someone who produces that much smelly wind either has an illness or a dreadful diet. Everyone farts of course but it shouldn’t be that often or that foul if the diet is healthy.
He needs to rethink his lifestyle and/or see a doctor.

I have crohn's disease and fart a lot. They are loud but don't often smell. I can't help it. If I hold them in (which I obviously have to do in public but spend a lot of time going to the loo), I get awful stomache cramps. I hate seeing posts like this because it makes me wonder what my partner secretly thinks and I become very self-conscious about my health condition.
Some people are more gassy than others, some have food intolerances they are unaware of, some have IBS and some have IBD. Holding in gas can be very uncomfortable and painful for some people and if we can't let it out in our own homes, where can we?

This!
It’s not normal to fart so much. Look into his dietary habits! Has he ever been checked for lactose intolerance? My son is lactose intolerant but sometimes just decides to eat what he likes annyway and deal with the consequences (which is extreme smelly farts amongst other things!)

@Marriedtoafarter are you my sister in law 🤔

ffs! it’s a natural bodily function. I’m guessing you don’t fart and if you do they smell like roses?

Not everyone. I don’t have control of my farts which is fine when they don’t usually stink. When they do I really struggle.

Pooping and urinating are also natural bodily functions, I dont wish to be standing right next to someone when they are doing it though.......

OP shouldn't have to check his diet - she's not his mother or his doctor. If he has any respect for OP (which, frankly, it sounds like he doesn't) he should sort the problem himself.

@OhMyGodAChicken

Surely they are eating the same things ? I think it's the beer fermenting in his gut causing this .
