I saw this piece and decided to share, funny though.... As weird as it may probably seem, a man told Saturday PUNCH recently that he broke up with his wife of two years because she used to fart frequently. Because they had no issue, he said it was easier for him to break up. He complained that he couldn’t keep up with a partner who farts frequently as it affects him psychologically. Due to this revelation, some Nigerians were asked whether they too could break up with partners who fart often
Breaking up is an extreme action
Imosun Opuru
It’s a natural phenomenon, who does not fart? I think breaking up because he farts too much is not the solution. It is an action taken too extreme. Imagine being asked by a friend or a family member the cause of our separation and I tell them it’s because he farts too much. I assume their response would be, “you’re probably insane.” And if you really look at the matter, it’s insanity. I can’t condone a partner who lacks etiquettes, but all the same, one should tread carefully and resolve issues more in a mature manner.
She needs to caution herself
Olaitan Alabelewe
I can’t tolerate such habit, it’s embarrassing. Doing it frequently while in a room with one person is bad enough, not to talk of doing it among many people. And if one starts a habit from within, one day, he or she would extend it without. That’s bad. If she still wants me, she has to caution herself so that she would not embarrass me someday in the midst of friends.
He must control himself
Donald Sona
He has to repent and promise me that he’s going to stop it. I don’t think it’s an illness; it’s just that some people lack control over certain things. How could a man be farting uncontrollably? He has to be ashamed of himself or else he would cause people not to associate with him. To be sincere, I wouldn’t like it, but if he heeds my advice and repents of his shameful action, I will forgive him. Breakup is not the solution.
I can break up with her
Macdonald Onyebuchi
If we’re yet to marry, of course, I can. It is definitely not a crime. It can be nauseating being with someone who does that like she has no conscience. She should learn to control herself. Gone are the days when you say love is blind and covers multitudes of sins. Today, it is not like that. Love sees well and cannot cover everything. Anything one can’t cope with in a relationship could lead to regret later in the future.
If he does it frequently, I’ll caution him
Ogunmola Ajoke
For as many times as he keeps doing that, that’s the number of times I’ll keep cautioning him. Really, it’s a bad action and irritating, but God has given us the abilities to control ourselves. It’s not that he cannot control himself, but bad habits are difficult to break. Once an action becomes a habit, it causes an embarrassment. I will keep finding a way to tell him of how awful his action is, but if he does not yield to correction and still cannot control himself, anything can happen.
Counselling helps better than breakup
Edward Anwo
Such a woman sure needs counselling, not breakup. Love should motivate me to seek for solution to her problem because it’s really a problem. She could eat fruits and vegetables more than other food that could cause the problem. Farting could become a frequent action when one eats wrongly – like eating beans or egg in the night before going to bed. Such will cause a disruption in the flow of air in the night. The whole room will be filled with the smell. If that’s her problem, I’ll tell her how to eat. We can find solution together if I intend to spend the rest of my life with her.
I’ll limit hanging out with him
Joseph Fejiro
It’s very easy. I will restrain myself from being with him every time. Such habit could cause unending embarrassment, not only to him, but even to me and I can’t cope with it. Whatever one can avoid, one should avoid it. If there is any psychological help that could help him, I’ll gladly help in the area. At least if one loves someone, one should be able to explore all possible means to get a problem solved.
Yes, I can
Onisoma Kos-Ikah
It is horrible and it happens. Have you heard that excessive snoring could cause a couple to break up? I don’t support divorce but every party in a relationship must cultivate good manners that would make it difficult for even the devil to cause them to separate. I can if we’re not married yet, but I have no choice if I discover that later in the marriage. Maybe she hid it from me while in the relationship. If that’s the case, I have to carry my cross.
It’s irritating, but I’ll cope
Thaddeus Justina
It’s not funny, is it? But I’ve heard stuffs like this before. When you want to break up with someone you don’t really love or tired of, that’s the time to look for excuses like this. However, if you love someone, you would render your assistance to help him/her get out of the problem. It’s irritating, but I will try and cope as long as I love him. In summary, I don’t think it’s a medical or psychological problem; it’s just a matter of controlling oneself.
Love overlooks all faults
Adesanya Elkanah
Love should still be blind as before. We should learn to adapt to people and not leave them because of small issues. As for me, I will overlook it because as a human being too, I fart. Everyone farts, though I agree it should be controlled. I’ll tell her to go to a separate place anytime she wants to do it. By the time I avoid her every time she does it, she would learn to control herself.
