Boyfriend tells partner to 'act more like a lady' after she farted in front of him

Love is like a fart. If you have to force it, it's probably crap.

There is no secret that couples who fart together, stay together - yet one woman who fearlessly let one rip in front of her boyfriend was criticised for doing so.

Taking to Reddit's AmITheA**hole feed on August 18, the girlfriend reached out to users for advice on her rocky relationship.

"We just got in a big argument about it tonight because I farted in the kitchen on accident," the 24-year-old explained.

"I am extremely fed up with him treating me like what I'm doing is unnatural and always telling me I need to be more like a lady."

After being with her partner, 30, for two years, they decided it was the right time to move in together.

However, things haven't exactly been going smoothly, as the woman continued: "He's been getting really frustrated with me because he says I fart too much at home and it disgusts him.

"I tend to fart a few times a night, and he gets super grumpy, accusing me of doing it on purpose (I'm not). I feel like I should be able to fart in my own home without judgement.

"I told him I was sick and tired of his attitude and acting like I'm some sort of freak for doing something that everyone does."

She then asked fellow Redditors: "Am I crazy for thinking farting is normal? AITA?"

One person said: "NAT (Not The A**hole) - Ladies fart. Everyone farts. Not feeling comfortable enough to fart in your own home because this dude has some archaic belief that it's not ladylike seems miserable."

Another agreed: "NTA, does he think women poop glitter? He sounds very dumb and also ridiculous. Make your point by freaking out every time he farts/sneezes/burps so he sees how absurd he's being."

While a third suggested: "He sounds like a man who needs to be hot boxed with a good pregnant fart.

A fourth also asked: "Considering you live together, and this is a long-term thing what are you supposed to do? Never fart in front of him?"

Although one person did happen to agree with her boyfriend, adding: "I need to know how bad hers are because I might agree with her SO. My husband is always doing it and his are foul. They smell like rotten eggs and linger for HOURS.

"I get mad at him for doing it outside of the bathroom because it's quite hard to enjoy food when you're stifled by the smell of rotten eggs."
