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?

This! It’s absolutely disgusting, but YABU! You can’t ‘joke’ that you’ll do something to him and when he actually does it tell him it’s a line crossed. Forgive him and ‘banter’ a little less..!

Of course she bloody can. Saying something and doing something are completely different. I bet you've said in the past comments along the lines of "I'll kill him when I get my hands on him" - humans with functioning brains realise you do not mean this literally.

Id expect a young child to be all confused and not know where to draw the line between a joke and actually doing it, not an adult.

I remember my ex once farted in bed and trapped me under duvet. He thought this was hilarious. I was really upset. I made my feelings known and we moved on but we were married and owned a house by that point. If it had been early days that might have been if for him. And I think what your fella did was worse. BUT you encouraged this with your jokes about it.

Its one thing joking about it, and whole other thing to act it out.
Bin him, it reeks of disrespect, excuse the pun

It's sexual assault.

Sexual assault hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. It’s a bodily function. Don’t pretend u don’t let rip 😂😂😂😂😂😂

So, OP, did you forgive him for the fart?

Hohumitsreallyallthereis · 12/04/2026 08:12

I’d dump him and also seriously think about what adult “banter” should be like because it’s not joking to fart in someone’s face. Grow up!

The13thFairy · 12/04/2026 08:17

I can't understand how you would joke about doing this. It's not funny. It's utterly gross.

Did you miss the bit where she said she would do it to him

Obviously she didn't miss anything, read it again.

Yes hence why I questioned her “banter”.
