Is It a Guy Thing or Is It Just My Hubby?

Our next poster is Anjeny. Whew, she's one busy lady with Seven! kids running around, from 17 years to 2 years! Her husband is patient she says and I'd have to say she must be too. Living the good life in Hawaii, she admits to being a rambler. If you're curious what she rambles about visit her blog at Ramblings of an Islander.


(I decided to do my first post on what annoys me most about my husband at the moment. I'm sure there are things that annoys him about me but since he doesn't blog or read blogs for that matter, I thought this would be my chance to come on here and rat on him...LOL. And if any of you decide you want to tell him, not that any of you might know him but in the event that you do and decide to tell him I write this about him, I will deny everything...ahahahah.)


I don't know if he does it on purpose to annoy me or something is wrong with him. You see my hubby is constantly passing gas (farting) whenever I am around him. I swear I think he does that on purpose since I've expressed so many times how much that annoys me for him to let it rip like that.

He doesn't do it in public, in fact I'm pretty sure he doesn't do it whenever there are other people around, it's only when it's just us around, meaning me and the kids. He comes home after work, walks over to the couch, sits down and lifts his backside a little ways up and let it rip, oftentimes it would be this long drawn out ripping sound, most of the times there's someone sitting on the other end of the couch or on floor right at his tail end, so while he does that and everyone is gagging and fanning their faces or running for their lives, he is practically tearing up holding his sides laughing at us, as though we are a bunch of clowns in our comedian acts.

He loves the look I have on my face whenever he does that. I'm sure I look like I could kill him right there on the spot, although I am actually trying my darndest to look disgusted with him.

His response are always, "oh that feels sooo good, you don't know how long I've been holding that in all day".

My response to him, "oh yeah, and there was no way you could have let it all out while you were on your way to the car or on the way home, uh? Just had to wait to get home to torture us like that...real gentleman of you". (note the sarcasm)

I suppose it was my fault...the first time he did that we were dating at the time and I admit I thought it was funny at the time, can't for the life of me figure out why I would think something so irritating could be so funny at the time, so guess I encouraged him.

So now he does it all the time, it's as though he saves them up and waits to get home to me to let it out like that just to see my reaction. The other night I was telling a friend of mine about this habit of my hubby and she laughed it off saying, it's just a guy thing....well that's news to me, I grew up with seven brothers and not once did I hear them do that.

Don't get me wrong, I love the guy to dead but at the same this very annoying habit or manner of his is driving me bonkers. So many times I feel like smacking him upside the head.

I think I even pointed out to him that he's putting his mom to shame by his bad manner but that did not do anything to him at all.

So tell me, do you think my hubby is a very ill-mannered man, something is wrong with him, or is this something that guys normally do? What do you do when your hubby or significant other do that?
