Let’s get one thing straight: my husband has a body to die for. He’s got that lean, muscular build and skin that glows like golden caramel. It’s no wonder that people of all ages—twenty-something stunners, middle-aged flight attendants, and even the occasional bridge-playing grandma—can’t help but sneak a lingering glance at his chiseled physique. He’s the kind of guy who earns a thumbs-up from both men and women alike.
He’s fit and well-groomed—an Adonis among dads, if you will. But there’s a hidden downside to his attractiveness: my charming husband has a talent for producing some seriously loud flatulence. Yes, you read that right—his rear end seems to take on a life of its own, belting out tunes at all hours.
When you peek through our living room window—as if you were a curious neighbor—you’d see a typical evening setup. I’m snuggled up on the couch, wrapped in my favorite blanket, happily devouring frozen yogurt straight from the tub. Perhaps I’m binge-watching “House of Cards” or “Orange is the New Black.” But look down, and you’ll spot my husband, shirtless on a yoga mat, diligently working on his evening workout routine. Not your average sight, right?
While I lounge with my froyo in my comfy kimono, he’s squatting and crunching his way to a six-pack. I can’t quite pinpoint the source of his gas problem—maybe it’s the protein powder in his smoothies, the dried apricots he snacks on, or the intense crunches and Pilates moves he insists on doing. Whatever the cause, I fear I’m slowly being suffocated by his evening gas symphony.
Sit up.
Vvvvvurrrrt
Leg extension.
Ppppfffffft
Push-up.
RRRrrrrrrrrrrrp
Welcome to our life! Unless he’s away for work, in which case the only significant change is my untainted air quality, and the lack of “performances” on the yoga mat.
I have to commend my husband for his dedication to his fitness routine. It’s what keeps him so fit, after all. But I can’t shake the knowledge of what goes on behind closed doors in the homes of handsome men everywhere. And I think it’s time to share this reality: behind every ripped husband is a wife gasping for fresh air.

In summary, while my husband may be the epitome of fitness and charm, his nightly serenades leave much to be desired. Every time I settle in for a cozy evening, I’m reminded that fitness comes with its own set of challenges—especially when it involves gas!
