Me (31M) and my partner (33M) are in a deeply committed and steady relationship but recently he have been farting a lot and super stinky, I assume is part of the changes in his diet (gym+protein dissolved shakes in water).
I took the initiative and bought Dimethicone+magaldrate chewing pills but he refuses to take it… So tonight I reminded him to take those chewing pills and tolerated it for a while (he didn’t take them) but it’s soooo stinky in our bedroom that I even got awake because the stench or the farts sound.
AITA for leaving the room to sleep on the guests room and refuse to get back to our room tonight since it’s smelling so bad and he will continue farting?

NTA. Wanting to sleep without being gassed out isn’t unreasonable. He can choose not to take the pills, but you can choose not to marinate in the fumes.
NTA. Are his protein shakes dairy-based? He might have lactose intolerance and I don’t blame you one bit for wanting to be far away from those types of farts.

While some bodily odour is to be tolerated in a relationship, farting in generally is considered to be rude. No, even being an intimate companion doesn’t give one a free pass to keep cracking stinkers. Occassionally, it’s to be tolerated, but you seem to describe much worse situation.
Your BF is TA for not trying to limit the fallout of his chemical warfare incidents. He should either go to the bathroom to pass the gas, or see a nutrician or other professional. It might be he’s allergic or sensitive to the protein drink ingredients, or maybe something else he eats.
NTA. Srsly, ppl need to respect personal space man, headphones on no chit chat zone. It’s not rocket science! 🙄🤷♂️ If they can’t respect that, u’ve every right to bounce.
NYA: If your partner is making it difficult for you to sleep (intentionally or accidentally) it’s always appropriate for you to get up and move to somewhere else to sleep. To be nominated for a potential yta, you would need to kick him out of bed and force him to sleep elsewhere, and even that would depend upon the situation, and in this situation you still would not be tah.
I…. Have no words. NTA.

You’re NTA for leaving the room
Hes NTA for passing gas, he can’t help that.
Honestly I get hkm not wanting the chewable tablets, I hate all chewable tablets I’ve ever had. But he should be open to some other alternatives if he wants to ease off your discomfort that the gas is causing
Consider lactase tablets (the break down the lactase into more digestible parts for the body for people who have/developed lactose intolerance) since protein powders (unless vegan) will contain Whey Protein which is from milk and i believe it also contains lactose
NTA.
Also, protein shakes = EVIL farts. Whey protein omg. But really any protein powder, idk why. It’s terrible. Your partner has to take something to ease the gas before he sends you both up in a hot air balloon.
