How normal is it

how normal is it for a man to fart relentlessly. serious question.

my husband farts nonstop. he thinks it’s hilarious.

tonight he came in here to my office, used my computer, and farted up the place. for the love of god, i don’t know to laugh or cry.

he blames it on my cooking. he blames it on last week’s lunch. he blames it on anything. my god!

can i do something to fix this, or should i just set him out on the corner for the garbage guys to pick up?

dammit!!!

edited to add that i go through a candle about every 1-2 weeks. it at least gives me some sort of mirage from reality.

I had my wife read your post - she feels lucky (for now).

For me, I now have a new goal - - Round-the-Clock Shock and Awe

I suppose it’s all relative. I’ve never once in front of my wife, and we’ve been together since 1995. Some people would probably consider that abnormal.

The candle really doesn’t do anything. Mirage is a good word. I will tell you this too, candles actually are very dangerous. I would guess that candles start more accidental house fires than anything else. I’ll bet you that we go on a fire a month for unattended candles that catch the bathroom on fire. Just be careful…you are literally playing with fire.

I know some guys who are like this. I know what you mean about laughing or crying. It is kind of funny though.

are you suggesting the gaseous discharge might cause an explosion?

Hmmm, normal, I don’t know. My beau is kind of like Sphere. I’m the tooter in the relationship, but I try to be subtle. Sometimes. :wink:

my friend’s father takes some kind of farting medication because he can’t stop doing it all the time.

i’ll ask her what it is…

No. What I am saying is that candles, particularly unattended candles sometimes do the unexpected and catch things on fire, like drapes, toilet paper, kleenex in the garbage can, the garbage can…whatever. Candles look nice. They provide light. They sometimes smell good. But they are dangerous and need to be treated that way.

Also, they do not “burn up the fart smell”. There was a Mythbusters episode about this. All the candle does is provide an additional smell.

So, if you are trying to use a candle to rid your atmosphere of your husband’s noxious butt gas…it ain’t working. But, if you are using the candle ATTENDED and WITH CAUTION, for one of the other purposes…carry on.

I just really don’t want to read some thread by you in the future, from the library computer about how your house burned down from a candle. It happens…trust me.

Wow. My b/f not only does it in front of me, sometimes he backs right on up and does it on me. He and snackie have fart wars, I’m the innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

If that’s the worse thing he does in your marriage consider yourself a lucky woman and add some beano to his meals. :wink:

But you’re laughing the entire time.

Hey, candles are great because naked women like candles because what woman doesn’t look good nakend in candlelight? Hell, I think nearly all of them look good in normal light, candlelight, or the dark, but they are the ones that have the body image issues and are afraid of being naked in the light.

Milk?

Wow indeed. That is just so wrong on so many levels . . .

To Kitty, ship him to a doctor. I had a roommate with the same issue. After we chased him to a doctor, it turned out it was an indicator for something weird that could have turned out badly.

But does he pull the sheet up over your head and trap you in there to enjoy the Dutch Oven?

no, he doesn’t even have to do that before i’m suffocating.

there have been times when i’ve laughed, perhaps this is what created the monster that exists today.

I pretty much do it all the time. I lived with a girl for awhile and I would “try” to go elsewhere but not always. There would be times in the supermarket I would whisper in her ear, “we should leave this aisle now.”

Well at our house, farting is never NOT funny. We’re like 12 year olds that way. Soooo…I guess it depends on the household.

Tell him it’s a turn off (it would be for me) and he ain’t gett’n any until he goes a week fart-free.
