I let a few rip last night in bed. My wife looks at me and says "My God! is there something wrong with you?!!!! How could ANYTHING smell that bad??!!! What the hell did you eat?!!!"
It brought tears to my eyes, really. I'm so proud.

You know, when I was in college, and working at a wholesale hardware distributor, there was an ancient gentleman there, Albert Phinney--by then in his early 80s--who had been with the company since the 1920s.
There were a lot of old farts like that, working there. The company was loyal to its employees, and kept them on as long as the employees wished, giving them easier jobs.
Anyway, ancient gentleman apparently had the Bostonian Drunkard ailment, the constant involuntary release of intestinal gases. Other employees talked about how he had a whole orchestra up there, most noticeable when he was striding up or down a ramp, letting loose with trumpets, basses, oboes, drums, cellos, clarinets, tubas, blasts of fanfare.
Of course, I couldn't hear any of that, but I used to watch his body language as he moved along; it was obvious this guy was producing more gas than than a well down in Texas.
(As for any detection of odor, the warehouses were large and spacious and airy, and well ventilated by the constant winds of Nebraska.)

Just tell her that you are trying to help lower her blood pressure.
Fart gas' link to blood pressure
The gas best known for being used in many stink bombs may also control blood pressure, say US researchers.
Small amounts of hydrogen sulphide - a toxic gas generated by bacteria living in the human gut - are responsible for the foul odour of flatulence.
But it seems the gas is also produced by an enzyme in blood vessels where it relaxes them and lowers blood pressure.
The findings in mice may lead to new treatments for high blood pressure, the Science journal reported.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University, in Maryland, found that the gas is produced in the cells lining blood vessels by an enzyme called CSE. What's that smell? (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7686911.stm)

I had a major, major (Drs. words) heart attack a few years ago. Boy!!!! was I gaseous.....I couldn't stand myself.....putt-putt-putt constantly.....I don't see how anyone else in ICU survived.
Later on a friend at a place I did business with (who had had 7 heart attacks) explained that that was common among heart attack patients......the enzymes in your blood caused by the heart attack cause the gas.
