Every person has their little quirks and habits.

What would you do if your partner had a habit that you found gross? Would you force them to change, or would you change your own behavior?

This woman gets frustrated when her boyfriend farts at the table while they eat together.

She tried telling him how it’s a nasty habit, but he just dismissed her and called her too sensitive.

Now, she has decided to change her reaction to his habit.

AITA for leaving the table when my SO farts?

We have been living together for half a year now and have had the exact same conversation many times before.

I was honestly trying to communicate and explain that him farting at the table when we eat is deeply disrespectful, and it’s really upsetting me.

This woman is being called “too sensitive.”

He claims those things just happen.

I am the only person he knows who is so “sensitive to farts.”

Otherwise, he is an amazing boyfriend, very caring, attentive, and respectful.

So, at this point, I am just accepting his refusal to stop, and choose to exit the situation whenever it arises.

Her boyfriend gets upset when she leaves the table after he farts.

Naturally, he is upset about that. But I don’t see any other resolution.

Communication didn’t work, and I refuse to accept flatulence around eating.

I wish it was a joke.

However ridiculous it might seem, it is very frustrating to me.

Is she overreacting, or is her boyfriend being unnecessary gross?
