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

I think my life is actually now complete. I have heard EVERYTHING 🤣 does anyone know where I can get a bulk buy discount on bedding? I've calculated I need to change mine about 30 times a night 😭

I tend to keep a bowl of holy water at the side of the bed to sprinkle on the sheets after they’ve been farted on.

Good plan.

Serious minds have pondered this ....

Just think of all the fart particles absorbed by our undercrackers every day!

Teenthree · 11/04/2026 22:50

OP genuine question: what’s your protocol for fanny farts? They’re (in my experience) a unique blend of uncontrollable force.

Motheranddaughter · 11/04/2026 22:51

I would be changing the sheets every night!
I do change them every 5 days,that is fine

That’s what a bed is for?

😂😂😂 This made me laugh so much
Farts are never not funny 🤣

OP I hope you don’t ever fly. I was just thinking about how I was on an early morning flight the other day (the early morning part is relevant because I hadn’t had my usual morning poo) and I silently farted several times during the 2 hour flight. Judging by the smells coming from behind and in front of me, I wasn’t the only one. I had the foresight to wrinkle my nose whilst looking in front of me so the person seated next to me would hopefully think it wasn’t me!

Itsnotallaboutyoulikeyouthink · 11/04/2026 22:55

So you clean the upholstery every time you fart on the settee.

EnormousGinplease · 11/04/2026 22:55

Is this a joke ???

I'd be continually changing the sheets!!!!

Aniceempirebiscuitandacupoftea · 11/04/2026 22:57

Just so long as he did it on his side of the bed, I don’t think you need change the sheets. 😂

Thanks for the laugh @Greyblankie 😆

The anal sphincter is, by design, our safety release valve. Farting is essential. It's why doctors listen for bowel sounds in patients. No farting is a very bad thing.

Absolutely - treasure your loaf-pincher and treat it with respect.

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.

A day?! I hit that by 8am!

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.

How the hell can you tell that a fart is forced?!

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

The frequency is in a higher waveband.

Tryanalogue · 11/04/2026 23:10

A volunteer is worth ten forced farts.

Nuke him out of orbit.

If you leave your sheets out on the line after dusk they get darked on. This makes them fart-proof. HTH

MrsMoastyToasty · 11/04/2026 23:12

DO NOT change the sheets after his fart. You MUST pull the sheets over his head so that he can enjoy his emissions.

FieryA · 11/04/2026 23:12

Did you actually shame your husband for something absolutely natural, normal, and often involuntary? How do you manage on public transport or couch etc.? So odd.
