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

He sounds gross.

For daring to "pump" in his own bed because it freaks out OP? Don't be daft.

Hmmmm, normally I'd say YABU but a couple of weeks ago I had really bad gas. Fortunately, I sleep alone. But I changed the sheets the next day. I thought they smelled. Normally, just for one fart of course, I wouldn't.

pictoosh · 12/04/2026 07:58

I think you're bonkers but change the sheets if it makes you feel better.

I wouldn't be with anyone who tried to dictate the type of fart I'm allowed to do in my own bed. Poor guy.

Mine can be so bad, if Trump found out, he’d be invading my house, thinking I was enriching weapons grade uranium.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Brilliant 🤩

I just farted in bed whilst reading this.
Think this thread could have the making of a mumsnet classic

Loulou4022 · 12/04/2026 08:11

Sorry no, I don’t have the sheets or the time to change the sheets for the number of times one or other of us farts in bed

FlyingApple · 12/04/2026 08:18

You probably fart in your sleep.

Claudiasfringebenefits · 12/04/2026 08:22

No this is insane, do you change your clothes if you fart??

Tacohill · 12/04/2026 08:22

I think it’s disgusting when people intentionally fart in bed whilst under the covers.
At least pull the covers back a bit if you need to do it.

However, everyone unintentionally farts when they are asleep and so it makes no sense to change the sheets after one fart.

Gingerwolfe · 12/04/2026 08:30

It depends, if it was particularly odious and unpleasant then yes, I’d have changed the bed sheets. If it was just loud but not odious, I’d probably not bother.

Whatonearthhh · 12/04/2026 08:42

Everyone farts but I admit I find my DH a total turn off when, for example, he walks into the room I'm happily sat in and rather than walk out, he deliberately farts. Massive, massive ick. Makes me recoil from him.

I have been married before and that's the one thing I prefer about my ex...he didn't need to performatively fart.

Btw OP, me and my DH sleep in separate beds now, it's bliss!!! Maybe you should try it!

Greyblankie · 12/04/2026 08:56

Nice to see a small number of people agreeing with me 😂

And yes, poo particles do come out with a fart. It’s gross to think you’re sleeping in it. Obviously I’m aware that we’ll both be farting all night but that’s like saying you should clean your shoes everytime you stand outside as you’ve probably stood in animal urine. If you KNOW you have stood in animal urine because you physically saw it then wouldn’t you wash your shoes?

Because he tensed and brased himself first. It was obvious that he forced it

He was probably trying not to shit himself. You should be grateful to have such a considerate husband.

Thats not how gas works.

Well you could always … not post - if the thread doesn’t interest you? Crazy idea I know! Get back to your golf

Golf? 🥱🥱😴

Fart stories are much more fun.

Lurker85 · 12/04/2026 09:18

Your poor husband must feel like a naughty puppy being shamed for shitting on the carpet

Serious minds have pondered this ....

The things you see on here 😂😂😂

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 😂

do you have any idea how many farts everyone pumps out esp when asleep? so if you could track that would you wake up each time to change sheets?

How dare you! 😡
I cannot imagine the Queen ever did. 😕

You’re probably right, but I bet King Charles does some real rip snorters! 😆

idontknowwhattodo2026 · 12/04/2026 09:32

I hate when DH farts when in eating a sandwich and I get fart particles in my sandwich

HelpMeGetThrough · 12/04/2026 09:38

You’d have hated being on the ward I was OP. They wouldn’t let me home until I was farting like a symphony orchestra. All that whilst in bed and they didn’t rush to change the sheets.

In their words, farting is good.

WiddlinDiddlin · 11/04/2026 22:09

Maybe particles of shit in the fart? Farticles? Shiticles? Sharticles?

This is the first time I have seriously considered the particulate content of a fart... thanks OP.

😅😅OMG, that's hilarious, I just wet my bedsheets laughing at this 🤣 😆 😂

I hope you’ve changed them immediately! 🤣
