A woman who has been in a relationship with her fiancé for six years is on the verge of breaking point as she vents her frustrations at his ‘disgusting’ and ‘humiliating’ habit
Most relationships have challenges, whether that involves communication issues, financial disagreements, frustrations with quirky habits, or simply how they do the washing up. It’s not uncommon to face problems, but for one woman, her partner’s ‘humiliating’ habits have pushed their romance to near breaking point.
Taking to Reddit, the 36-year-old woman shared a post venting about her frustration with her fiancé and his odours, which have become almost unbearable. At the top of the post, she asked, “AITA for wanting to end a 6-year relationship because I’m sick of smelling my fiancé?”
She then explained: “I (35F) have been with my fiancé (47M) for 6 years, and for most of that time, I’ve been dealing with a constant barrage of… bodily functions. I get that everyone farts and poops, and in a long-term relationship, you get more comfortable with each other. But this is beyond that.”

In the Reddit post, the woman continued: “He will deliberately get up while we’re relaxing in bed and let out the loudest, stinkiest fart while heading out of our bedroom to the bathroom to poop. I’ve told him repeatedly that it grosses me out and to at least hold it until he’s out of the bedroom door. He ignores this and keeps doing it.
“In public, he will fart in grocery store aisles when there are other people around, then walk away, leaving me standing in the stink cloud, looking like I was the one who did it. He thinks this is funny. I think it’s humiliating.
“We live in a house with one bathroom, upstairs. He poops with the door open, and the smell drifts all the way down to the main living area. It’s constant. I am tired of smelling this man all the time. It’s disgusting, and honestly, it’s killed my sexual attraction to him.
“I’ve told him so many times that this bothers me, but he either laughs it off or says, ‘It’s natural, get over it.’ But it’s not about nature, it’s about respect. I don’t know how I’m supposed to want to be intimate with someone when I’m constantly grossed out by them.
“I’m at the point where I’m thinking of ending the relationship because I feel unheard, disrespected, and honestly… repulsed. My friends are split.. some say I’m overreacting and everyone farts, others say he’s being gross and childish.”
She ended by asking fellow Reddit readers, “So… AITA for wanting to break up over this?” The post was flooded with comments and many agreed with the “absolutely gross” behaviour.
One wrote: “NTA. How did you put up w this for so long? He’s acting like a child. He also resents you for calling him out that’s why he doubles down. He’s absolutely gross.” A second commented: “For real, how did she put up with that for so long? Dude’s acting like a kid and just digging his own hole by doubling down. Absolutely nasty behaviour.”
Another said: “Just end it already. The sooner you do it, the happier you will be. Two weeks with your home not smelling like s**t will seem like paradise. That moron belongs on a farm, with the other livestock.” A fourth noted: “Seems clear he likes grossing people out or playing some weird power move with is farts. It’s not incidental, the whole point is to make her feel uncomfortable.”
“You can break up for any reason. The fact that he’s gross and disrespectful is a good reason. I’m not really sure how you lasted 6 years around that. I bet you put up with a lot of nonsense,” one more shared.
