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

Why is it gross when men do it?

Just is! Don’t know the science behind it but it just is! 😂

My DH doesn’t even fart in the same room as I’m in, unless completely by accident.

Lol, I think everyone farts surely?

Thatphoneneverworked · 11/04/2026 22:23

thats pretty ridiculous.
Everyone farts in their sleep anyway. Unless he actually sharted its a waste of time changing the sheets. Just change them on your usual schedule.
Dont you have anything better to do with your time?

Maybe keep a lighter handy and then you can just burn it up. Saves on heating bills and sterilises the sheets

CoolShoeshine · 11/04/2026 22:24

Luckily my DH farted zillions of times in my bed before we married so I knew i eas committing to multiple sheet changes per night ifor the rest of our lives, it was even in oir marriage vows! Phew!

JaneJeffer · 11/04/2026 22:24

Every weekend with the farting thread 🥱

Air the bed : open the covers from top to bottom

Air the room : open windows

job done !

I am reassured that my insistence on wrapping myself head to toe in clingfilm before retiring is not excessive.

I hope you bleached it first.

Hahahahaha

AntiqueBabyLoanSmurf · 11/04/2026 22:29

There's an ad part way up this thread imploring us all to "Post your questions to Rachel Reeves". Can't hurt to ask her to share her great wisdom on this controversial conundrum, surely?!

Teenthree · 11/04/2026 22:29

Wha our dear old queen, and similar would do, is hold one cheek higher and therefore dissipate the noise. This changes things into a more acceptable lady-puff.

You’re welcome.

PollyDarton1 · 11/04/2026 22:30

Do you change the toilet seat every time he farts on that too?

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

To be fair, everyone who has died and has also had a DH has died after their DH farted in their bed.
Just saying...

MacchiatoMavis · 11/04/2026 22:31

I bet Melania Trump doesn't fart Grin And if she did she'd head straight for the podium to deny it.

I did. I also soak myself in a tub of bleach as a pre-wrapping procedure.

NorthEastNancy · 11/04/2026 21:56

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

Probably every five minutes for us, especially after a curry.

QueenEthelTheMagnificent · 11/04/2026 22:33

Are you 12??? Jesus, farting is totally normal, as a sign of good gut health humans are meant to fart 14 times a day. Get a grip.

TitsInAbsentia · 11/04/2026 22:33

Justwonderingum · 11/04/2026 21:54

Are you going to wash them or burn them?

don't be ridiculous...only burn them if someone has burped...😂

Besafeeatcake · 11/04/2026 22:34

😂😂😂😂😂

No come on this isn’t a thing surely.

😄😄😄😄😄

I have now actually heard everything.

AvoidableNemesis · 11/04/2026 22:35

It's gross but 100% OTT reaction.
I could not justify getting up and changing sheets over that.

piefacedClique · 11/04/2026 22:35

Isn’t 5% of every fart a solid! All that unwiped dried poo dust 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Burn everything! 🤣🤣

Fairly sure now that Melania is a badly programed android/mecanoid anyway... if she did fart she'd leak machine oil.
