Partner's wind keeping us in separate bedrooms.

Since being with my partner his wind has got so bad I can't sleep in the same room as him anymore. The smell wakes me up in the night and it's so bad I can't get back to sleep.

He thinks it's funny and a joke but I can't keep sleeping on the guest bed because it's uncomfortable.

Does anyone else have this issue? How do you deal with it? He won't go to the doctors. I think I'm going to get a proper bed to replace the guest bed.

Flipping heck, as other posters have said, it's not your responsibility to sort it out for him. He should sleep on guest bed and seek medical advice or at least keep a food diary to identify triggers.
And @meccacos2 why can't your partner buy his own lacteze, or cut out lactose? Why are some men so reluctant to bother looking after themselves?

Try get him eating foods that aren’t beige.

Is he on medication? My dp is a sufferer- well I am the sufferer but he also think it’s higjly hilarious and even goes as far to ‘cup’ me with them whilst pissing his pants laughing. Gross creatures

He’s not had a bad night for a while but I’ve been sending him to work with healthy sarnies I.e ham salad and healthy snacks and it’s massively reduced his wind. He’s say stuffing his face with popcorn at the min so might be a few bad ones tonight ha

Blimey FizzyGreenWater that's a bit harsh, calling the OP's DH a moron, non-functioning adult and shitbag to name a few! I suspect the laughing reaction is that of embarassment deep down, it is a bodily function he is unable to control. Once asleep I'm guessing he is unaware of the smell he is producing therefore not feeling the need to sleep in the spare room, the OP however is the one unable to sleep and therefore moving to the spare bed.

I agree he should be the one to try and find a cause and solution though. Has he tried eliminating wheat/gluten? That has really helped someone I know and solved the problem. Something is obviously not agreeing with him.
