Farting driving me insane!

[Ivy2006]

I hope this doesn't make me sound shallow!

I completely understand that farting is natural and something we all do. And I do agree that we should feel comfortable in our relationships to do this in front of each other.

HOWEVER, my partner farts non stop. Literally 20 times a day. It's like he forces it out. I love him more than anything but it's getting to the point I'm perhaps less attracted to him because all I can focus on is the smelly farts haha! Especially come bed time when I want to relax and have a cuddle in bed and all he does is fart. I end up staying on the edge of the bed to avoid to smell. I want him to feel comfortable to do it in front of me but if I need to do it then I usually go to another room and keep it to myself rather than make a song and dance about it.

Am I being shallow?! I've tried talking to him but he just doesn't get it. He's stopped doing it when I've got a drink or food in my hand thankfully but I just can't cope with how often it is.

As well as this, he always says things like 'my bum is itchy' and itches it in front of me. Is this normal to be this open and comfortable? I've never had this in a relationship before. It's like he sees me as a mate. Help!

Itchy in my kids = threadworms

Tell him how you feel about it

I have IBS and I can manage to hold it in to go to the bathroom to fart.

I've been seeing a guy and the last time I saw him he farted all evening. If it happens again he's dumped.

It's just not good manners to fart around someone all the time.

I will never understand why anyone finds farting so hilarious, it's infantile. I'd be really turned off if my dh was like this. My friend is always doing it she has no shame and it turns my stomach.

And I go further I can never understand anyone being in a relationship (romantic or platonic) with someone who does this

This was my ex DP. He farted on our first date and I thought aye, he's comfortable, so what.

7 years later it was constant farting, hilarity, up the dinner table, in the faces of people. That's not why I left him but reading this is bringing it all back.

Someone else's problem now though

Ugh. Just leave, that is gross.

Infantile is the best word. If it was a health issue in an adult man, you should talk to him about it and he would deal with it. Laughing, joking and making merry over it is childish at best. not envy

Thanks OP for helping me reaffirm my pledge to remain single FOREVER.

Seriously, you need to tell him. It's disgusting. Even my teen son got the message, he lets rip occasionally and is told to leave the room and come back in with his manners.

OP you need to read your own previous threads and question why you're subjecting your daughter to being exposed to an utterly toxic relationship, with the addition of physical danger from your boyfriends son who has hurt her including pushing her head underwater.

FFS leave this man. Permanently this time.

Your poor little girl, this is all so unfair on her.

Your other threads make the timeline of this relationship confusing, OP.

A few months ago you were getting the ick after sex and having to call off ‘other relationships’, but a couple of months ago you’d been with someone for the entire duration of his four year old son’s life. A four year old son that would kick his mother in the head until he bleeds. Yet your younger daughter isn’t his. It all sounds a bit of a muddle.

Also your other threads, presumably they’re about this Prince, make him sound rank and controlling.
