Shocked by what my BF did to me

This happened at the weekend but has kind of dragged on to the week. I don’t live with my boyfriend but we’ve been together a few months and we spend every other weekend at one of our houses. We were at mine this weekend just gone. We have a quite ‘jokey’ relationship and banter a lot. On Sunday, he hovered over my face (having taken his shorts down) and broke wind. I was in bed on my phone at the time. I went mad at him and he kept defending it as a joke and says that I always joke about doing it to him. I said yes, a joke. I’ve told him I want space, he has attempted to apologise over messaging and asked to call me. I just feel like it’s a line crossed even if it was done purely as a ‘joke’. Is it me or is that the ultimate disrespect?

@Catchase1 wtf was he thinking? He’s not a keeper OP. I feel desperately sorry for his future wife. Absolutely vile behaviour. There’s nothing funny about it. Pure disgusting 🤢

Sometimes I fart behind the fan so it blows into DH face.

Your behaviour is disgusting not funny!

His shorts were down so no barrier to the poo particles flying from his arse? I mean I'm no stranger to a jokey fart in your general direction sort of thing but that's absolutely vile. Unhygienic and really mean spirited actually.

CharlieEffie · 09/04/2026 20:22

Its vile. But you joke about it so he thought it was your kind of humour. Now he knows the boundaries and limits. Id give him another chance

outerspacepotato · 09/04/2026 20:26

That would be the end.

The ultimate ick.

Butt, you joked about it more than once and he did it. Why do mad if you kept it going?

Daisymay1000 · 09/04/2026 20:26

Perhaps he thought your 'joke' was an invitation?... maybe that's his kink and he thought he'd struck gold when you tested the waters by saying you'd do it to him!? 😱

MissDaisy1982 · 09/04/2026 20:28

Some people are turned on by that, he was just testing to see if you have a fart fetish

It's sexual assault.

No, I couldn't be with some that immature and disgusting.

Blodyneighbour · 09/04/2026 20:40

Questions for OP: when he took his shorts down to fart in your face,
1, did he have pants on?
2, How low down did he go in inches?
3, was it loud?
4, did it smell?

Because the above questions will help decide if you are being unreasonable despite you joking about farting in his without ever doing it as of yet.

Gonners · 09/04/2026 20:44

This reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!" So thank you for that, OP.

No he had nothing on and was very close. Yes to 3+4

Gawd, you sound as bad as each other. Probably well suited. Grow up.

Dollymylove · 09/04/2026 20:50

So you have been joking about farting in his face. He does it to you and you go ballistic. How old are you both? 13?

Chatterlyssecret · 09/04/2026 20:52

Where did you find this scumbag of a boyfriend? utterly disgusting.

Rpop · 09/04/2026 20:53

AgentPidge · 09/04/2026 19:20

It's in really poor taste but it sounds as if he doesn't know where you draw the line. If he's apologised and learnt his lesson, I'd forgive him.

This. I wouldn’t end a relationship over a fart.

Megifer · 09/04/2026 20:56

Massive difference between not doing something, and actually doing that something 🙄

Yanbu hes a disgusting pig. Get rid.

RoseField1 · 09/04/2026 20:56

Next time, swerve the 'banter' and jokes about farting in men's faces. This one has taken it too far but you've created the conditions for this to happen by co-creating this dynamic.

She suggested doing it to him first...

babyproblems · 09/04/2026 20:58

I would never be able to have sex with him again honestly. Does he think he is 12??? I don’t see how I could find him attractive again.. so unbelievably immature! I wouldn’t be able to believe he was genuinely a competent man now tbh. He obviously makes poor decisions which I would struggle with!
