‘D’ P farting while he’s prepping food

He’s in the kitchen chopping meat and just let out 2 enormous farts (and quite deliberately, not like there was nothing he do about it)- doesn’t care and doesn’t think it’s a big deal. He’s in the kitchen prepping food,
Am I being unreasonable to not want to eat with him now. I find when he does this sort of thing that it’s so disrespectful and just unpleasant.

😂😂 Burps as well though! Fizzy drinks must be banned in @grizzlygrump's house.

Oh absolutely! If drinking fizzy pop means you need to burp loudly and uncontrollably then you can go enjoy them in your own room thank you very much.

Its not entertainment I personally enjoy but I’m happy for those of you who have found compatible partners and that you’re all enjoying a good old Boxing Day of farts! Have a nice time!

Cook your own food then, if it’s such a problem for you.

Op, does he fart in bed?

Absolutely. All through the night.

Were you also in the kitchen? I think intentionally farting around other people is gross, the being in the kitchen part wouldn't bother me.

Even your partner? Surely you don’t leave the room every time you need to fart?

mrstinsle · 26/12/2024 20:58

I fart all the time, always have. I don't/can't burp so I feel I fart double the amount. It wouldn't be possible for me to leave the room.

If I was going to be offended by farting ( which I'm not ) I think I would be more offending farting in bed rather than copping food.

Just to clarify, I do both. So does DP.

Tbf, there’s no way I’d fart out loud in the kitchen while preparing food.

But you would fart silently in the kitchen while prepping food? What’s the difference?

Seagullsandsausagerolls · 26/12/2024 21:01

Three people in our house with IBS you'd hate it 😂

He's a keeper 👍

No - I wouldn’t do it quietly either. That’s worse- silent but deadly.

My husband kept farting in our kids room while putting them to bed then shutting their doors and leaving the smell trapped. We had strong words!!

I don't think anyone has said anything about enjoyment or entertainment. But most people can surely accept farts and burps as normal bodily functions that shouldn't require you to self isolate within your own home.

This thread is hilarious! Thank you OP

After yesterdays mammoth dinners with stuffing and vegetables I would assume most households are more windy than usual

Oh exactly

If we had to leave the room to fart yesterday we'd have all spent the day in separate rooms, alone. Rather than playing games, watching TV and talking...

arcticpandas · 26/12/2024 20:15

In our house we have a rule: no farting in the same room as someone else. When I go to bed I can hear DH letting all hell loose. But to be fair I do my fair bit under the covers so when he comes to bed later on and lifts the covers it's not roses he smell..

Are you me?

TitaniasAss · 26/12/2024 21:23

Maybe you should get a special farting booth OP? A place where one can go and let rip without judgement. 🤣

Sidebeforeself · 26/12/2024 21:26

How do you know a fart is deliberate in those circumstances?When i was going through the menopause I simply couldn’t control them

I’m guessing you go for a poo with the door open and let it mellow if it’s yellow, too.

PickAChew · 26/12/2024 21:28

I've got a whole oompah band down there, today, and it doesn't seem to have affected anyone's enjoyment of the food I've prepared.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 26/12/2024 21:30

Easipeelerie · 26/12/2024 20:05

Never in the kitchen prepping food. Whether or not it harms the food, I just find it offensive.

Me neither, well actually I suppose I do, but I stand on a kitchen stool and orientate my rear to the cooker hood, which I have set on 'maximum extract'.

But I assumed everyone did that, it's just polite and what my Mum taught me.

😇

Thanks I’m so glad you got sorted. Unfortunately nobody repaired the tears at the time so it’s a bit trickier as nothing is in one piece. Thankfully DH makes a lot of allowances and doesn’t care about farts 😊

That’s awful 😢 I was taken into surgery immediately after the birth which wasn’t ideal but did fix most of the damage. I’m so sorry you didn’t get good post birth care.

It's called "outdoors."

Honestly I am 61 and have never heard any of my lovers do that, in 40-plus years. Nor they, me. Never in my family growing up, either. My parents weren't that type.

Is it really so difficult to be couth?

That's quite a leap you've taken there. I hope you didn't hurt yourself! 😂

Mrsttcno1 · 26/12/2024 22:14

Eee God I read threads like this and wonder how some people get through the day😂 unless he’s bent over and farted straight into your meat I don’t know what the fuss is about.

SwordToFlamethrower · 26/12/2024 22:19

Non issue, relax!
