AIBU to change the bed sheets after DH farted in bed?

DH thinks it’s excessive. My argument is he literally fired gas out of his arse which would have then settled on the fabrics. If it had just been a small pump I wouldn’t have been that bothered but it was a big forced fart.

Be honest, is there anyone here that would have done the same? In my defence they were getting near due to be changed anyway, this just brought it forward a few days

Are you going to wash them or burn them?

Neverends1 · 11/04/2026 21:54

No, I wouldn't have changed the sheets for a fart. Farts are quite common, people fart in their sleep!

youalright · 11/04/2026 21:54

Everyone farts

FeelingALittleWoozyHere · 11/04/2026 21:55

Everyone farts. You will fart in your sleep, every night. So unless you change the sheets every morning you are being absolutely ridiculous

HelpMeGetThrough · 11/04/2026 21:56

I’m in bed now and have ripped one out and wouldn’t even think about it. With the state of my bowels, I’d be changing the sheets all night!!

NorthEastNancy · 11/04/2026 21:56

They'd be changed every half hour in my house if we did that!

BarbarianBabs · 11/04/2026 21:56

i’d bet you both fart every night in your sleep. Difference is you’re aware of this one.

YANBU. Someone I know died once after her “D”H farted in their bed.

WiddlinDiddlin · 11/04/2026 21:58

Er, no sorry, I don't have enough bedding or time in the day to do that.

If either of us sharted in the bed, yes of course, but for a fart, no. I make sure I buy bedding that is robust enough to survive a fart.

Screamingabdabz · 11/04/2026 21:59

This has to be a wind up, surely? Jeez farting is normal and everyone does it. As long as he’s not following through you need to calm down.

Coconutter24 · 11/04/2026 21:59

Unless he followed through YABU

pimplebum · 11/04/2026 21:59

you canny be serious!
Bed is the one place where a golly good pump is allowed! Your poor Dh he must feel so uptight in bed

id be changing the sheets every day !

Greyblankie · 11/04/2026 22:00

Must admit I’m suprised by the comments so far! I thought at least one person would agree with me 😂

Dear god we’d be changing the sheets every day in our house. Get over yourself!

Petrolitis · 11/04/2026 22:00

Is there a fart troll now?

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 11/04/2026 22:01

I wouldn’t be changing them, but I do think forced farts (and you can always tell) in the presence of others is disgusting.

i very much enjoyed reading this comment 🤣🤣🤣

Londonrach1 · 11/04/2026 22:01

Why? Unless he is unwell and the sheets are dirty why would you. Op every farts several times in their sleep including you ..

You fart in the bed every night. You were just being a dick trying to shame him

Where would we be without fart proof bedding.
Both of you will be letting out stinkers whilst asleep.

HelpMeGetThrough · 11/04/2026 22:03

Christ on a bike, I’ve just farted again, that’s two lots of sheets in 5 minutes!!

Toottooot · 11/04/2026 22:04

I’d probs change the mattress too.
Fit happens fan he farts on the sofa?
Do you change the sheets fan you fart - or are you too ladylike to ever fart?

StrictlyCoffee · 11/04/2026 22:04

God I’d never get any sleep for changing sheets if I changed them every time I cracked one out, I fart like a bastard (thanks IBS)
