Being disgusting, am I over-reacting

[MrsTribiani]

Changed my name.

I have always had a problem with "people germs", I'm not a fussy person or OTT with housework etc, I just can't stand people being personally disgusting.

Anyway I have been with partner for around 6 months and we have had a huge row and he says I am so precious and he's sick of it.

This is all because I asked him not to fart, belch, or sneeze near me.

He's overweight and eats crap so is constantly farting and when he does it in my bed it freaks me out I have to go and get a shower and tip him out so I can change the sheets. I make him have his own pillow case because he always has loads of sleep in his eyes and it might go on my pillows.

When he belches near me I have to get up and move away, he does it often because again he eats too much. Yesterday (the one that caused the argument) he went to kiss me and as I leant forward he belched right in my face. He apologised and said it was an accident but I blew up over it and it made me feel ill for the rest of the day. I just don't see the need for it. It irritates me so much.

Am I too precious or would this kind of thing get to you too? I was the same with my ex but for some reason I never thought of him as being so disgusting, maybe because he wasn't overweight and didn't eat as much?

My farts can be really rancid and DP makes me stick my bum out of the bed before i let one go at night. I have to add however that DP's farts literally DO NOT smell!!! I dont know if this is down to being a veggie from birth or whatever, but he's the only bloke i've met who's farts dont smell and if they do, then it'll be because he's got a tummy ache!!

It does sound like he disgusts you in general really so i reckon you should dump the poor guy.

This is a variation on theme....

It is most definitely a troll..

They post every so often, normally they post about the partner shoving their head under the covers after they fart.

Assuming you're not our regular troll who posts about such things ...

If he irritates you this much when you've only been together six months and should still be in the sweeping-you-off-your-feet phase, why are you still with him?

I think your reactions are completely over-the-top but I would suggest it's because you don't really like him all that much and are looking for any excuse to dump him.

Let him go, let him find someone who doesn't freak at bodily functions or a bit of extra weight. But do be aware that farting, sneezing and burping are pretty universal - you'll be on a hiding to nothing if you expect to find a partner who doesn't do these things.

Great way to get dozens of strange women to share their farting habits with the WWW - someone's rubbing his hairy hands together with glee over this one!

Oh, all right then.

Dh & I both fart in bed. Whether it is an issue or not depends on noxiousness, current emotional state of recipient (fartee?) & which way farter's bum is facing...

Dutch ovens are definitely not permitted, nor enthusiastic duvet-wafting in the direction of the fartee.

where has the OP gone????

ewwwwww crusty eye dropping on sheets, gross!!!

Back under her bridge, presumably

I also rather suspect a bona fide fart fetishist. Enjoy, trumpet-trousers!

Oh yes, wasn' there one who forced the OP to sniff farts and his recently poked up the back passage finger? That was nice.

I'm with you mugglewump. I see no reason to share my dp's essence of anal passage. That is not true love to me

REalistically if you are waiting to find a man who never farts, belches or sneezes, you may as well sign the papers now and enter a convent.

Nums still fart, but at least it is mostly contains by their (clean) habits!

Agree with MB & WWB. Dump him if he disgusts you that much, but you won't find a man that never farts, belches, sneezes or gets the odd bit of sleep in their eyes, so best you stay single!

I'm not sure its a trol...maybe one of her partners farts finally killed her off....

FWIW I am HORRIFIED if someone burps near me. Farts I can just about stomach.

Get rid of him

I can't say I would be best pleased if someone burped in my face, but changing the sheets everytime a bloke farts in his sleep is rather OTT!

My ex used to fart first thing in the morning whilst standing there in his baggy underwear, stirring the coffee/tea... when I am feeling sad about all the years we spent together - gone with the wind - so to speak, I think of that vision of him farting and it all goes away....LOL Hateful, I can't stand it either, smelly breath, long dirty fingernails, burping, YUK. To me these are all things that can be controlled and done somewhere else.. not in my vicinity (if he cares enough to make the effort).

Having read OP he sounds terrible. Why are you with him????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear I think you are being slightly obsessive about these things. I actually have similar issues and there is probably some childhood root cause which meanbs it is my problem rather than normal behaviour.

Of course, none of these things is pleasant but you are being obsessive about them. You either need therapy for what is essentially phobic behaviour, or a man more able to accommodate your difficulties.

Ihave my own ways with coping as I certainly don't expect any man to deal with my levelof phobia about these things.

Do you hate when people get blobby white bits on their lips too perchance?

Blobby white bits?

Yeah,y'know.Lip smegma??

omg....LIP SMEGMA??

Disgusting lol

What the?!

Lip smegma?

I think lip smegma is just soft bits of dead skin that have flaked off. I get it sometimes in the winter after applying lip balm.
