A woman has sparked debate online after revealing her boyfriend told her she ‘needs to be more like a lady’ because she farted in front of him. 

One British woman took to Reddit to reveal she has been experiencing some tough times with her partner, who is ‘disgusted’ by how much she farts, leading to fallouts and the two sleeping in different rooms. 

The user – @throwaway1083672513 – posted on the subreddit “AmITheA**hole” on August 18 to ask for advice about the pungent problem causing a rippling rift between the couple.

Saying she ‘wanted to fart without judgement’, she added: ‘We just got in a big argument about it tonight because I farted in the kitchen on accident.

‘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.’

The post – captioned, “AITA for farting in front of my partner” – reveals how the unnamed woman, 24, and her male partner, 30, have been together for almost two years, but have only recently moved in together. 

She explained: ‘Lately, 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.’

The woman then went onto describe a shocking turn of events in their relationship, saying, ‘We’re now currently in separate rooms not speaking because of the fight.’

She asked: ‘Am I crazy for thinking farting is normal? AITA?’ 

The post received an overwhelmingly supportive response from Reddit users, amassing over 1,000 comments and almost 900 upvotes.

The user – @throwaway1083672513 – asked fellow Reddit users for advice about the pungent problem causing a rippling rift between the couple, which amassed thousands of comments 

One person stated: ‘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 bemused user agreed, saying: ‘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.’

One user wrote: ‘He sounds like a man who needs to be hot boxed with a good pregnant fart.’ 

Another bewildered person asked: ‘Considering you live together, and this is a long-term thing what are you supposed to do? Never fart in front of him?’ 

Some individuals even responded with their own toxic testimonies, with one saying: ‘I spent 9 years with someone who would only permit me to far in the bathroom or while I was sleeping. 

The woman’s post received an overwhelmingly supportive response from Reddit users, amassing over 1,000 comments, telling her to that it’s natural for women to fart 

‘He would look at me so disgusted, then shame me, if I let one slip. When I started dating after that, the first thing on my list of qualities to look for was someone I could fart in front of.’

One woman, however, somewhat agreed with the partner’s perspective rather than the original poster’s. 

She wrote: ‘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.’
