My husband’s constant farting and burping in bed is ruining our marriage

DEAR DEIDRE: I’M sick of my husband burping in my face and letting rip in bed.

We have been together for eight years and married for two.

We’ve got two sons. I’m 29 and he’s 30.


He still dresses well and works out. He’s a good- looking bloke but I’m fed up with his disgusting habits.

I know everyone gets wind but the way he deals with it is so off-putting.

He lets rip constantly and doesn’t care.

He does it when we are eating dinner, when we are getting frisky in bed and even when I’m spooning him so it vibrates against my stomach.

At first he thought it was funny – now I think he just doesn’t care.

I’ve asked him to stop and he gives me a half-hearted apology and then does it again.

I’m starting to find him unattractive. How can I get him to stop?

His latest trick is to go in for a kiss and burp before our lips touch. He’s gross.

DEIDRE SAYS: The old saying familiarity breeds contempt seems spot-on here.

He has started to relax too much and you’re beginning to feel nothing but resentment.

Let him know how his “outbursts” are affecting you and agree to some new boundaries.

No belching in your face or against you in bed would be a good place to start.
