husband immature obsession with bodily functions

Post Reply New Topic

i said immature obsession meaning he impulsivly has to comment or joke about such things especially when hes had a few drink

its annoying more than offensive
he just has to react probably because im a woman and he still somehow believes girls dont fart or something

So, is he embarrassed when he sobers up?

If it is only annoying, the "colour" of the situation has changed.
There is always give and take in these sorts of relationships.

That approach would NOT work on me. My girlfriend already tells me these kinds of details & details about using the bathroom & I'm not bothered. The jobs I had involved me doing custodial type stuff including cleaning bathrooms & I didn't feel grossed out by it. I just made sure to wash my hands after I was done & I was fine. I also have a very immature offensive sense of humor & love shows like Family Guy & comedy songs about things like farting. If Cass farts when using the bathroom & I hear it, she'll hear me crack up laughing She's not that bothered by that thankfully. I'm not mean spirited about it. I joke about it but only with people who are OK with it. I don't make jokes to be mean. I went through a phase for a year or so when I was taking Pepcid for my GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) & it caused me to have problems with constipation & farting a lot. I never fart to be funny, I cant fart unless I need to. I did make some fart jokes but it was mostly only with Cass & I tried to sneak the farts out when I was in public. Thankfully I switched to the med Prilosec because Pepcid was not helping my GERD enough & the constipation went away & I seldom fart now.

not really he just focuses on stupid things less when sober

It is starting to sound like there is no solution, here.
I guess you just have to accept him as he is, if he doesn't want to change.
I guess it is cathartic just talking about it.

im not really lookin for any solutions just wanted to vent

That's good cuz the only other option I can think of besides just tolerating it would be to leave him. Well you could try giving him an ultimatum but I'd only advise doing that if you were ready to leave him cuz he might would decide to leave himself or give up trying at all to make the relationship work & wait for you to end it.

I don't think farting jokes is grounds for separation.

There are a couple of other solutions available to Caz.

1. Stop farting.
2. Don't fart around him wherever possible.
Probably the number 2 (pun intended) is the better fartlution solution.

thats usually the only answer you get whenever you rant about a partner on the internet

leave him

never does the dishes

leave him

tells too many funny jokes

leave him

no im not leaving him he cant help having adhd


i dont fart when we have company round usualy but that night i had a upset stomach and couldnt help it

i suffer ibs so i do get gassy

if its just us 2 then he doesnt react much when i fart

he just finds farts funny and i dont

You love the guy. I wouldn't advocate you leaving him.

Well, I think it is normal when people are in a relationship, sometimes they will annoy each other. For sure the first course of action shouldn't be to leave the person. I feel like you can't live in close quarters with someone without getting annoyed at them from time to time and that is just a reality.

I just realised there is another option.
Get a dog, if you don't have one, and blame the fart on it.
Sounds like a winner, to me.

I do find farting funny. I just can't help it. Its the noise it makes that makes me laugh. I've just never grown out of it.

I remember when I worked nights and I came home one morning and I was sat in the back yard smoking. Boyfriend was in bed upstairs with the window open and all of a sudden he let out one almighty fart. I heard it all the way from the back yard. I'm laughing about it just to remember it.

He laughed his head off as well when I told him. It just shows you how sound can travel. I reckon the next door neighbour would have heard that one as well.

Thankfully, your cigarette didn't ignite the methane.
The whole house could have exploded.
