A woman has shared how she kicked her husband out of the house after she spent thousands at vets because her husband blamed his ‘stinky farts’ on their dog.
Writing to Reddit, the pregnant woman explained that the unpleasant smell assaulted her nostrils and turned her stomach, causing her to feel physically sick.
However, her husband had been blaming his gases on their innocent dog Jerry and spent several weeks hiding the truth before he finally came clean.
“We have this dog, Jerry. He is an adorable sweetheart. He has such a sweet and gentle disposition and he doesn’t have an unkind bone in his body. I love him dearly,” she wrote.
“A month ago, my husband, Jerry and I were eating dinner when suddenly I smelled something really disgusting. My husband instantly made a face so I knew it wasn’t just me.
“I am pregnant and my sense of smell has been a little sensitive in this time. I couldn’t stand the smell and left the room.
“Later in bed, my husband told me the dog farted.”
She continued: “It honestly smelled a little like rotten eggs. I thought it was a one-off because the dog does fart (as do we) but a fart this stinky isn’t normal.”
The woman said she tried to forget about the smell but she kept getting a whiff of the stench that she even tried to light candles and incense around the house to mask it.
“This whole time I thought it was the dog and said ‘OK, I’m taking him to the vet. A fart this stinky isn’t normal’. Through all this my husband kept silent,” she expressed.
“My vet recommended a diet change for the dog so I change the diet but the stink continued.”
“I was losing my mind and my husband still kept his mouth shut. The vet was extremely confused and ordered a bunch of tests that cost a lot,” the woman expressed.
“All the tests showed that the dog was fine. I’m losing my mind here. My anxiety started kicking in – what if there’s something wrong with him? What if we lose him? I’m so stressed out.”
The woman broke down in tears at the thought something was very wrong with their dog.
After five weeks, her husband finally told her that he had been blaming his fart on their precious pooch.
“I lost it. I kicked him out of the house. He went to stay with his friends. All of our friends are on my side.
“To be clear, I didn’t mind he lied in the moment but he knew we were going to the vet, the vet was confused. He even went to the vet appointment with me. It takes him a full on panic attack and mental breakdown to say the truth?
“His mother, who normally thinks the sun shines out his a**, is on my side as well. She call him, in no uncertain terms, an idiot.”
People on Reddit shared their thoughts on the matter, with one person commenting: “This too blows my mind. I’m usually not one to jump to conclusions and be dramatic, but who the hell lies to the person they married about a fart?”
Another wrote: “This was funny and sad at the same time. Is this the first time he has done something like this? His actions sound insane.”
