Long term poster, name changed. I can’t ask my friends about this tbh 😆 I am not a poo troll this is cringing me inside out to admit to this tbh.
Long story short, I’ve been with DP for a few years and our relationship is very good, sex, fun etc BUT neither of us will intentionally pass gas/fart in front of each other and it’s now got completely ridiculous.
I don’t even know how we got to this point but he thinks I don’t like it so he won’t do it, I’ve never said I don’t like it but I don’t do it in front of him either. I don’t mind it, it’s a natural body function but neither of us will be the first to break the fart ice if you will.
I’m quite sure I fart in my sleep (everyone does) but he’s never said anything about it as he’s protecting my dignity, like the gracious gentleman he is pretending to be 😁
This morning he was sat on the toilet doing a wee and I was brushing my teeth. He had a pained expression on his face when I asked if he was ok, he said he needed to fart. I let out a silly giggle and left the room so he could have his dignity.
I need advice how to break this stand off one of us needs to do it and if it’s going to have be me, I will have to but it’s been so long now I don’t know how to approach it 😆
AIBU to find myself in this stupid dilemma or is it actually common for women to live a life of clenching and worried about icks and smells?
