My husband has the worst gas in the world.  It is so bad it pisses me off.  During the day, I can escape but at night, when I am asleep and he starts his sulphur farts, there is no place for me to go.  Now these aren't the kind that have any noise so there is no warning.  We have a queen size bed and I am a queen size woman. Our bedroom is only about 15 x 15 foot room and there is little to any ventilation. 
 
His gas wakes me up out of an Ambien induced sleep, which believe me is a difficult thing to do.  I will be asleep and my nose will get assaulted with the worst smell.  I try to push the blankets down to drown them out but it does no good. Those little suckers seep out into the air and the little bit of oxygen I have left they consume.  It isn't possible to wave the blankets either,  that just makes it angry and it will get revenge.
 
One night he had gone to bed  before me and when I came to bed, I thought I had walked into hell.  The sulphur smell hit me and about slapped me down.  I figured that maybe it might dissapate, but I should know better.  This stuff is so thick it hovers waiting to destroy any brain cells that I might have left and strip mucous membranes right out of my nose.
 
One night I crawled into bed and settled down the best that I could.  I was soon asleep but not before my senses woke me up and I started gagging.  No longer could I ignore this unwelcomed visitor.  I was so angry I kicked him, but he didn't wake up. I got up and went out on the couch, I was furious.  I fell back to sleep and awoke about 6 am and thought it might be clear.
 
I opened the door and put my nose in and nope, it was there and I swear it took form and was laughing at me.  I had been beaten, but I was still angry.  I went back out on the couch and fell back to sleep.
 
I was so angry all day, I didn't talk to him except to tell him that he kept me awake almost all night with his butt perfume. When he came home that night I was still mad.  I glared at him and said, "I'm going to bed! Don't you dare come in the bedroom with gas on your mind."
 
Since then I have vowed that  I would NEVER go through another night like that.  I have a can of OUST by my bed and a scented candle.  If he starts that crap, I grab the can of OUST and spray him. It works wonders, also if I go to bed and there is a hint  of magic in the air, I light the scented candle and say a prayer.  And sometimes just for good measure, I kick him anyway, then I close my eyes, smile and drift off to a land with no smelly men.

    LOL, mom!  I think I know what you're talking about.  I have employed the use of one of those automatic airfreshners that send a burst of lovely scent into the air at regular intervals.  It certainly has helped, which is great esp coz Mr Polar goes to bed earlier than me most of the time.  So I dont need to walk into that wall of "smell" when I go to bed!! 
     
    Love

    I don't have that problem anymore, but if mrMimi is using the bathroom that's off our bedroom, and he doesn't shut the door...  I don't want to be indelicate, but he could knock a buzzard off a sh**- wagon!  Toxic.  Gag.
  • mom said on Jun 07, 2008....
    Polar- LOL, glad to know we are on the same page.  HA!  You know what I'm talking about!
     
    Mimi- LOL, that is funny.  I would love to sleep by myself, I'd be in heaven!  Oh go ahead and be indelicate.:)
  • quietone said on Jun 07, 2008....
    ahhhhhhhhhhh, one of the pleasures of living alone!!!! LOL
  • Twylarants said on Jun 07, 2008....
    I am SOOO glad I don't have that problem! My husband just talks, yells, and laughs in his sleep. Scares the bejeezus outta me. But he doesn't stink up the room, thank God!
  • wombat said on Jun 07, 2008....
    Too funny!  Maybe you could bottle that cloud and sell it to the government as an environmentally friendly weapon.....
     
    I've been subjected to the same problem at times....the funny ones are when he is asleep--and he gets that little "jump" thing going....ha....
  • Zayda said on Jun 07, 2008....
    Oh dear, mom, I laughed and cried because I recognize that problem all too well. Mr. Z ould peel the paint off a barn some days.


    And Mimi, seriously, Mr. Mimi needs to learn to always, always shut the freaking door!

    Ladies! Please excercise caution in the use of open flames under such circumstances. There could be devastating explosions. That stuff is combustable.
  • pickersplock said on Jun 07, 2008....
    Mom, you should go to bed one night wearing a gas mask! LOL
    Do you think he'd get the message then?
  • Eilan said on Jun 07, 2008....
    It's so great to be a woman.  Since we don't fart and all. . .

    *whistles innocently*

    What?
  • mom said on Jun 07, 2008....

    quietone- QUIET! Don't remind me. :)

    Twyla- are you sure he is a man?  You lucky girl you.

    Wombat- if I take that stuff and bottle it, it would do more damage than napalm.  LOL I have done that jumpy thing and scared myself.

    Zayda- Well I am glad I am not alone, Seriously they ought to sell ass filters or something.  I have thought about hanging one of those Christmas Tree car fresheners from his butt.  I wonder if he is dying inside, cause something isn't right, south of the border.

    Bot-HI!  I think you just gave me an idea on how to take care of my little problem.  Note to self:  put flame thrower by bedside.

    Pickers:  If I thought it would help I would, but I think he is proud that he can do something better than me. :) The gas mask is a great idea just to be able to live through it.

    Eilan- Now isn't that the truth?  You would never catch me acting that way.  Anything that comes from me smells like roses and pumpkin seeds. :)

    infernal-  I hope not.  I think it is really a mans' rite of passage, mine will be his passage to the other side.
  • crybabylu said on Jun 07, 2008....

    Oh mom! You got me and my husband crackin up and ROLF, about this here post of yours.  So, we put our brains together and this is what we came up with.

    Get you a C-pat machine, with an oxygen regulator, and a mask, and its hoses, and when you get under that thing, you won't be able to smell anything, so you and your husband can lie there and make beautiful music together, if you are a mind to.....dee & papajack.....ha!

  • MissMimi said on Jun 07, 2008....
    Dee, yes!  It works!  My old BiPAP didn't keep the stink out, and let me tell you, once that fragrance permeates the filter, it lingers on and on...  Ew.  But my new one is a miracle worker!  Keeps out the poo-poo smells.  It's excellent!
  • mom said on Jun 07, 2008....

    CryBaby- I have a b-pap machine but my son needed it really bad so I let him have it. :(

    Mimi-I have a bi-pap machine that is about 3 years old, I think it would do it.

     

  • Twylarants said on Jun 07, 2008....
    Not to change the subject, but can I for a minute?
    My son just got one of those machines for sleep apnea. He's having a terrible time getting used to it...I'm pretty sure he's not using it at all, and that frightens me because his sleep study recorded episodes every five minutes or so for 4 hours.
    He complains that his mouth falls open while he's using the machine and that causes him to choke. His doctor said he has no heart problems as of now, but such severe apnea will cause damage in the future, possibly necessitating a heart transplant.
    Do you ladies have any suggestions to help him deal with this machine?

  • CreativeWoman said on Jun 07, 2008....
    mom,
    You remind me of Erma Bombeck.  You can make anything funny.

    My husband is his worst in the car.  He thinks as long as he says, "excuse me" that all is well.  I beg to differ.

  • mom said on Jun 07, 2008....

    Twyla- I was not able to use the mask, I would get panicky.  I went to what is called, "The Nasal Swift",  you can get a chin strap which he can wear and it will hold his mouth shut while he sleeps.

    I have sleep apnea too but not sure how often my episodes are at night.  I couldn't get much sleep wearing the thing cause I would be fighting with it all night.  I would roll and the ubes would come off and then I would get air in my eyes, this dried them out and would wake me up. I hope this helps.  If you go onto the b-pap or c-pap sites they do have all kinds of things there.  But I would suggest a chin strap.

  • husbandhater said on Jun 07, 2008....
    lol Mom I know your pain. I am assulted all day long with the varies smells of disgust by not 1 but 4 male individuals including a 5yrold who sticks his finger in the air asks you to wait and with the sticking out of his bottom lets loose with a howl for a laugh:~(
     
    The oust would go pretty quickly in my home. I told you before that 5 was obsessed with farting. God some days I wonder if I will survive the varies smells as they make a contest of it at times. God save the Queen!
  • petitepapillon said on Jun 08, 2008....
    Lol, mom. That is hilarious, but that sucks for you! I have to deal with The Boyfriend's, but thankfully, just with the sounds.
     
    I'm glad you got a can of Oust and a scented candle by your bed. And, oh, one more thing, just be glad he doesn't let one rip on your face or pulls you under the covers when it happens. I know guys who actually to do that to their girlfriends or wives and I have to just wince when I hear about that!
  • kruuyai said on Jun 08, 2008....
    Have you thought about altering his diet?   Stop feeding the man eggs and beans, for god's sake!  And if that doesn't work, get some Beano and sprinkle a few drops on his food before each meal.  If that doesn't work, trade him in for a newer model.  :)
  • mom said on Jun 08, 2008....

    CW- Hi you must have posted the same time I was.  If it was in the car, I could even deal with that.

    HH- LOL  I know those moves and it isn't just the boys but one of my daughters too.  She could out belch and out fart her brothers,  I was so dang proud of her. 

    Petite- The sounds can be scary but it is the silent ones that you have to watch out for. He has never done the blanket over the head thing but I did have that done to me before by my ex.  It ws awful so i pulled the hair on the inside of his thighs.  He let go of the covers real quick. :)

    Kruu- That is just it, he doesn't get beans or eggs.  He can eat cotton candy and have the same thing happen.  I do think the beano is a good idea, maybe I will try that.  Oh believe me I have thought of getting a different model.  It takes too long to break them in though. :)  Thanks

  • mom said on Jun 09, 2008....
    Lioness- I can relate to that but I don't think I have had any other male in my life that smelled  quite like that. LOL, why do we feel we have to apologize for them, they aren't sorry. LOL  I hope to see more of you. :)

(Separate tags using commas, for example: New York, dating, vegetarian)

why?...
I know I need help...

It's becoming apparant that it really is time for me find the attentions of a member of the male species…....
In my blog, I wrote about a good on paper guy. I like his personality and he is a nice guy, but like I said the chemistry is not there....
or something remotely similar. maybe
kinda..... not really.


i finally pushed at it until it broke.

and found some secrets....
I'm truly pissed off. One of the guys that was hanging out at the bowling alley with the hot guy walked passed me saying "Smile". I absolutely can not stand it when people do that shit. They don't know what's going on in my life. Who the hell is that...
