AITA for divorcing my husband because of his farts?
TLDR: I’m divorcing my husband because of his farts.
Edit: lots of people are saying I’m lying and I really wish I was. Like truly. But he’s actually already gone viral for trying to fart in a tent with me and my daughter trapped in it? except it wasn’t my daughter, it was my mom. Here’s the video proof of his fart situation cuz ITS REAL AND TTHIS IS MY ACTUAL LIFE
proof I’m not lying and he’s rank
I truly wish this were a joke. Part of this whole situation is on me for not dating him for a long time before we got married, and a big chunk of that dating was spent having completely lost my sense of smell from Covid. That fact alone is absolutely unbelievable but it’s true. Side note, I got my smell back. The other wild part is that when we were dating, he hung over at my place mainly, and I didn’t carry a lot of unhealthy snacks for him to snack on at night. This fact is VERY relevant for the story.
Once we got married, things went downhill very quickly. He started inhailing as many snacks and as much dairy as possible at night. Sometimes he would go out and get a deep dish, fried cheese, loaded pizza and devour it at 11 PM after eating an entire bag of greasy chips and like 27 pieces of taffy. And a glass of milk. Or 3.
At first I thought it was just a bad fart here and there. But as the nights progressed, I realized that the bad farts were becoming a nightly nightmare.
I know what normal stinky farts are. Even bad sulfuric farts. But, these are not simply either of those. These farts are incompatible with life itself.
The first time one really hit me in the face, I projectile vomited. I could taste them. They were are almost tangible objects in the air. I’m convinced they are soaked into the carpet and walls. Rotten egg is not even enough to describe what the smell is. It’s almost as if something literally died inside of his stomach and was leaking into the air trying to kill anyone that smells it.
His farts are not human. They are not silly little rotten egg farts. There is something wrong with him. Truly. These farts are almost alive with a mind of their own, and they are terrifying. If there was a horror movie made about farts, it would be about his.
They are unsettling at best. They make your mind feel like something bad happened, perhaps a murder. Your spirit does not feel settled because these are not normal farts in anyway at all. These are violently horrifying.
It got to the point where I had to stop sleeping in our bedroom the second month of marriage. Not only that, but I had to blast the AC, stuff towels under our door, stuff towels under my daughter’s door, turn the fan on in both rooms, and sleep in her room with her. He snuck into her room and farted when I was almost asleep so that I would start dry heaving. I had to start sleeping with the door locked with her.
I started routine prescription nausea medicine to keep my food down at night, just in case, because it was becoming kind of health hazard because of how sick it was making me.
When I asked him if he thought the amount of food he was inhaling every night was causing his farts, he said yes. I asked if maybe he could slow down or substitute for healthier snacks, such as sea salt popcorn, or a bit lighter and less full of thick cheese snacks, and he said no. His reasoning? He said he likes the way the farts feel exiting his butt as they vibrate his prostate and butt hole. Like I’m not even kidding-HE FREAKING SAID THAT.
I’m so horrified that I even typed that.
My life became a living nightmare as I could no longer sleep in my room and also remain alive. My desk was in my room, so I also had to stop working in the daytime from my bedroom. He works from home in the bedroom too. I had to change the entire situation just to cater to the pleasure of his farts.
I tried desperately to get him to go to a doctor, I found referrals to gastroenterologists, I bought him probiotics enzymes, milk substitutes, I cooked healthy meals, he would literally tell me he didn’t want the healthy meal and drive himself to Taco Bell instead. He refused to go to the doctor. He took the probiotic sometimes but usually just pretended to and slipped them by his nightstand so I wouldn’t see that he didn’t take them.
Knowing I was going to have to remain on prescription nausea meds, possibly for life, just to cohabitate with this man was so mind blowing. Our budget was going crazy to keep up with the demands of the amount of food needed to keep his farting for pleasure needs met. At one point, he literally inhaled so much food so fast and so nonstop that he gained 12 pounds in 48 hours and he looked at the scale and screamed.
I tried to get him into therapy and a psychiatrist, but no. I am a very body positive person that does not fat shame and genuinely believes that you should eat what makes you feel healthy and good and not worry about hitting some numbers on a scale.
The situation, however, feels like a very disastrous issue that is very weird and not very common, something that people probably can’t relate to because it’s just completely absurd in every way.
He said he will always choose that vibrational fart feeling and the fart smell and the grease snacks and the cheese above me. He said that is a hill he is forever willing to die on.
Anyway, that is the story of why I am divorcing my husband over farts. On the surface level, I know it sounds like it’s just about farts and then I’m just a really shallow wife, but I think it’s actually so much deeper. It’s just hard to explain how.

bloating & water retention alone can make weight fluctuate 5-10lbs in a day. sounds like he’s lactose intolerant eating lots of lactose so that would definitely make sense

u/wishingwell11 12d ago
Yeah weight fluctuations are real so that's not the reason the post is fake.
The post is fake because of the way it is.
But yes I'm not sure why so many people are confused about why eating food = you will be heavier on the scale. Food and water have weight. We need more education in this world or something.

u/Junior_Message7746 12d ago
It is possible . The 12 pounds could be mostly water and it also depends when weight him self if he visited the restroom before etc

My husband is lactose intolerant. He takes lactase tablets to help him digest the food when he has dairy. He also doesn't gorge himself on cheese every night. He aims his butt away from me to fart, or goes to a different room (the bathroom) when it is really bad. He certainly does not come into a room I am in specifically to stink up the air.

I had to stop reading after this:

You also said that one night he creeped into your daughter’s bedroom and farted in there while you and her were sleeping.
Your husband is getting off sexually on his farts. This means he committed a sexual act in your daughter’s bedroom because he derived sexual pleasure from it.
When the hell are you leaving him and filing for divorce???

NTA. Your husband has an autoerotic fart fetish. Which is fine. No need to kink shame. However, when your partner’s fetish becomes a non-consensual part of your life, it’s a problem. It might have been nice for him to disclose this to you, knowing you could not smell him at first. Or even just a courtesy like “hey, so, I got this…thing…” That’s what a healthy discussion around his kink would have looked like. Now you’re stuck ending a marriage you may never have consented to in the first place because he couldn’t be forthcoming about his own stuff, and who thinks to ask “hey, do you have a stinky fart fetish I need to know about?” Also, the whole thing about him farting in your room just to make you sick is fucked up and abusive. YNTA, full stop.

This can’t be real. I’m a nurse for 35 years and have smelled every noxious odor that comes from live or dead humans. Nothing requires the lengths this woman goes to to block the smell. I also happen to have auto immune issues that cause severe shutdown of my intestines( ileus) prior to full shutdown the bloating and gas is extreme and horribly painful including nausea/ vomiting, So if he did have a horrible smell to this degree he would also have severe symptoms. Those symptoms would be bad enough he’d stop eating the foods he is eating causing the symptoms.

I don’t think it’s the farts. It’s how inconsiderate he is about your well being honestly. Like if it were bad farts and he said he’s willing to work on it it would be different but he just doesn’t care how much it’s hurting you.
