Spouse flatulence

DH will just do it audibly or let smelly ones off in bed and I can tell you that it takes sex off the table right away. I’m not prude, hell, if you farted during sex I’d laugh my head off and keep going. If you didn’t do it when you were dating because you wanted her to desire you, don’t do it now.

Heehee. Been there. Done that! LMAO still thinking about it!

We’ve been married a long time, but it seems like this issue is getting worse and since this is not something I want to discuss with girlfriends, I’m posting here.

You encourage them to see their physician to rule out any serious health issue. You encourage less grease and spice in diet and buy them Gasx and probiotics. For bathroom smell issue, get an automatic sprayer, update exhaust, add some scented liquid in flush tank.

This^. Aging and new medications can be the reason.

Saying excuse me is polite but not a solution.

I farted while reading these responses.

We fart openly but I don’t raise a butt cheek or make a show of it, and I avoid it at the dinner table.

This^. Flatulence is a genuine health issue with little personal control over it while making a show of it is just rude behavior.

Normal behavior. Most polite people don't want to do it in-front of others unless they can't control, which is okay because bodily functions can be voluntary or involuntary. People shouldn't be shamed for it.

That stinks, OP.

Flatulence in the vast majority of cases is NOT a health issue. The same way that peeing or pooping isn't.

Making a show of it is immature, but hardly a huge deal in a relationship.

He needs to poop at night before bed. I get that he can’t control his body while sleeping but he does need to make sure his colon is empty before hot boxing you all night. Or he can sleep in the guest room.

Other than taking a laxative after dinner/before bed, how would you make this happen? Maybe others can poop on command, but I'm not one of them.

I can't imagine going to my husband before bed and asking him, "time for bed, have you pooped yet?" He is not a toddler FFS. This is insanity.

Oh DCUM is absolutely micromanaging their husbands poop routine. It's necessary when you're digging through the septic tank for evidence of porn watching.

That's exactly why I asked! 1. I would never say that to DH and 2. I'm not sure how one would execute on that command anyway.

Oh I know. I was agreeing with you. I can't imagine my husband coming to me and asking something similar either.
