To fart in front of DH?

This is actually a serious question!

I usually just let rip if I need to, but I am going against all I previously thought about how to conduct a relationship - ie to preserve some mystery. I also do things like cut my toe-nails when DH is about.

Should I stop farting and toe-nail cutting when in DH's company?

(PS He farts too but less often )

DH and I fart in front of each other. I would draw the line at wafting the duvet cover to share

I am worried that he will become disgusted and go off me. Or does everyone fart at home anyway?

Just carry on - I don't believe in preserving mystery, it takes too much time!! If I had to ensure that DH was out of the way every time I wanted to fart, shave my legs/underarms, pluck eyebrows etc it would be a nightmare :D

Vanessa Feltz always maintained it was important to keep that element of mystery - don't let him see you shave your legs etc.

Her husband left her!

I once did a really louder than expected burp whilst with dh in town, people looked round, I was but dh tells people about it, he was jealous his burping skills were inferior and I had to teach him. He still fancies the pants off me. Men are funny things

My dh farts a lot, and it does get to me because he rarely apologies, they are always very noisy and often very smelly. It would be nice if he made some effort to minimise their effect. I would guess he produces something like ten to every one of mine. Generally however I really wouldn't worry unless he mentions something.

If the fart was very loud or very smelly, sure. Because it's not very nice.

gonae - why gross? No-one actually likes farts, but surely we all accept they are just normal and natural? Do you go out of the room each time you do it?

my DH farts like a bastard. Really. And thinks it highly amusing, especially when I gag and choke. But he doesn't like me to fart, oh no, apparently that puts him off the thought of sex.

Guess what I do.

I do have Anti-Fart Spray however - by the merest luck, I got hold of some of this stuff - aptly named Cleanse and Protect. It is a potent detoxifier of the most noxious fart and therefore worth the price. Smells of lemons, mostly.
