Getting kicked out of bedroom for SO's bad gas.

One night, early in our marriage, my then wife had a bout of very bad gas. When she felt it coming on, she got out of the bed, ran to the master bathroom, closed the door, turned on the bathroom exhaust and did her thing. After a couple of times of this, she got a blanket and pillow out of the closet, handed them to me and said I had to go and sleep on the couch in the living room for the night so she could get some sleep.

From then on, whenever she had bad gas, it was I who would have to sleep on the couch. And when I had gas, it was I who got banished to the living room.

That just seems a little unusual that it would be so bad and so often.

She was so embarrassed by it that she went to see her doctor. Tests were run and she was put on some thyroid medication and that pretty much took care of it.
