Spouse flatulence

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.

I fart constantly when my rectal prolapse is acting up. It’s truly as awful as it sounds and I don’t have full control over it. Luckily my DH is a kind person and asks me if I’m feeling okay since he knows it causes a lot of pain.

And no, there’s no treatment that I’m not already doing besides major surgery. Which will likely happen eventually when the symptoms progress.

It’s pretty common to need to go after eating a meal. Especially your final meal. An after dinner walk aides in digestion and so does sitting on the toilet to give the body the normal signals to go.

Most people are pretty regular about when they go. For OP’s husband it would be shifting his time to coincide with evening so he stops gassing his wife out of bed.

Lies. Women don’t fart.
