farting in front of DH?

[MrsSawdust]

We have been together for 18 years, married for 14 years and have a 1 yr old DD.

My DH is becoming increasingly upset about me letting off wind when he is anywhere in the vicinity. I'm pretty certain this never used to bother him - or at least he didn't tell me if it did.

The thing is, he thinks it's ok for him to fart in front of me anytime he feels like it. He's quite adamant that 'the rest of society' thinks it's ok for a man to fart in front of a woman but not ok for a woman to fart in front of her man. He's so certain of this fact, he actually ASKED me to post this on MN to prove me wrong.

I've told him to get over it.

AIBU? I'm genuinely starting to doubt myself here.

Goth [grin}

I have been accused of killing "Kenny"

Mine are NSA - No Smell Attached.

It took about three years before I was comfortable farting in front of dh (my parents don't fart). Pregnancy makes them inevitable I find.

We love farting in this house even the cats

Actually, I say 'Sorry, couldn't help it ...... NSA though'.

YANBU. This is sooo funny.

I do fart in front of DH and he rarely farts. He only objects when he is already annoyed with me about something else.

Yes, our cats fart like you woudl not believe. And that is disgusting. Cats farting should be banned.

My farts smell like roses so it's a non-problem round here.

My Dp has never heard me fart - I've told him that I just don't, and that I don't poo either.

He farts all the time and it's gross, but he has stopped doing it in the bedroom after I asked him not to.

I think it's really 'un-sexy' when women do it, massive turn off IMO.

Hahaha! I am infamous in my family for the C&A fart I did in the early 80's. It was so foul the whole ladies department emptied in a flash. I have never been able to replicate the likes of it since however anytime someone in the family does a particularly stinky one it's called a C&A!

Dh says mine have two approaches

SBV - silent but violent

LAP - loud and proud

{blush]

We are a house of farters here.

Unless you are raising a leg to push one out, I really don't see what the problem is.

Gufftastic

My dh would go ballistic if i farted near him - he shouts at me if i cough too much.

Hes very 'anal' parrrfff about such things but frequently does fart and belch in front of me.

its not that i want to fart in front of him its just that it can be uncomfortable holding it in until i get to the loo .....and then he comments about the amount of time i spend in the loo...

In fact he even complains if my tummy rumbles.

I am used to farting in front of friends and family, its when I fart mid smear I

I do not let rip in front of DH if I can help it.
He proudly will around me!
Usually followed by looking at the spot his foot is on, and exclaiming, "Oh! Floorboard's squeeky(!)" or something along the lines of, "There's a duck in 'ere somewhere(!)..."
Such a child!

I'm loving the fart stories on here...

Honestly, why do so many men think that women have this deep-seated hatered for bodily functions? Or have a hatred for them when it's a woman doing the deed?

I'll admit, I get embarrased when I fart in front of my DP sometimes, but that's because my pregnancy guffs have a tendency to clear the room, and the memory of a night when we'd just gone to bed and then had to get up for an hour really won't fade all that fast; he's already said that he's never going to let it lie.

My step-dad is one of those guys who just says nothing and leaves you choking, which I think is far worse than my Dad's method of letting rip loudly and then half-heartedly apologising for the smell. (Once I was in the car with my step father, and he absently wound down the window. A moment later it hit me why. Urg.)

notanumber crying with laughter here! Very funny.

My dh was the first partner I had who's 'botty burped' in front of me so I'm happy to return the compliment!

Your dh has double standards! Either you're a farting family or you're not - no half measures! Agree that this should only apply to OH and kids tho!

I would explode if I didn't fart in front of my DH.

I shouldn't eat wheat (not a true coeliac, just gives me IBS) and if I eat a sandwich everybody in 200 yards knows about it an hour later.

However I couldn't do it until we married. I spent 5 years leaving the room and clenching as I didn't feel I could. Even though, bizarrely, he told me I should just do it.

As soon as we were married....

Sadly we sometimes have farting competitions in bed.

Oh goodness no. Neither I nor dh, erm, I can't even type it, do this in front of other people.

[repressed]

I used to go out with a guy who'd go all coy, before eventually admitting that he'd 'made a smell'. Pathetic. DH will drop a bomb, then invite me to 'get that in yer lungs!' - infinitely preferable!

As for classroom guff walks, me too! The real problem is, when you're alone in the classroom and let one off, someone (colleague/pupil) wanders in for some reason and you have to kind of head them off before they reach the fart site

this is so reassuring
after having ds1 i must trump at least 10 times a day - even trying to be shady about it, it's a numbers game - if you are farting that much it's inevitable that dh is within earshot or smellshot of some of them.

luckily i do have 3 children the cat and the dog to take some of the blame

the worst is when i'm doing bedtime stories, or giving somebody a bollocking - farting sort of ruins the desired effect. hard to be a parent full of gravitas when it sounds like the fourth of july in your knickers.

I think my pelvic floor just went away for good

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Basking I agree, twice that's happened to me at inappropriate times in bed time stories ......once Mog had died, then Jack the dog had shuffled off his mortal coil in one of the LHONTP books. Both times I noticed DD had the quilt stuffed in her mouth and her eyes were watering.......

baskingseals - I hurt from laughing so much! I hate farting at inappropriate moments, though I have to laugh later.
