At the end of my rope with DP's disgusting habits..

I'm not sure why I'm posting. I hope people don't think this is a joke, I feel stupid but I've reached the end of my tether with DP's farting and burping....! Ok I might occasionally burp, I cover my mouth if I do.. I don't fart to be honest! I don't know why, I probably do during the night or something but I don't register it when I do.
He literally farts most of the day. It's loud, it's annoying, obviously smells obnoxious and I can't help but find it disgusting. He does it while we are both eating and doesn't apologise. Does it in bed next to me, straight after sex 😕 before sex..!
A few weeks ago he visited the GP for something unrelated and I asked him if he was going to mention the farting, as it could be IBS. He said no and I asked why, he said he "likes farting". I can't seem to make him understand that it's driving me up the wall and I find it incredibly rude. It puts me off sex and I now find sex repulsive mainly because of the habits he has.
I'm not a prude and I can take a joke. But am I being ridiculous and unreasonable for finding this gross?? I'm looking for opinions..
Sorry this sounds ridiculous
Thanks

I think it is about boundary stomping.

My ex would chop and change on this. I mean, I know it's gross, but if he or the DC farted, and they laughed, then sometimes he'd laugh along with them, or other times, he'd be firmly disapproving in exactly the same situation. The DC never knew where they stood.

One of a book full of reasons why I left.

My DH is similar.
And his dad?
OMG! Farts nonstop. We have a Sunday lunch,he farts so loud that I got scared! He farts nonstop. And stinks. Even in public.
Absolutely disgusting really.

Why did you even move in with a man who does this

I would gag and frankly not be eating lunch with them. Totally disrespectful.

OP... leave this pathetic abusive Neanderthal. Get that flat, you will be free soon. Don’t tell him you’re off, just leave whilst he’s out. You owe the abuser nothing.

@Anordinarymum I would bet OP moved in because this sort of stuff tends to be hidden at first, and becomes more overt when the other person becomes settled in the relationship.

Was certainly the case with my ex. His attitude to farting wasn't apparent, his hygiene was so much better at the start, etc. I could go on.

So, your question is kind of irrelevant and doesn't help.

Doesn't this give you the ick so much you don't fancy him? Your DH, not his dad I mean obviously.

Absolutely disgusting - DH and I don't break wind in front of each other wherever possible and if it was done in bed that would be it for me!
