Not farting in front of DH

I was like a punctured tire during my pregnancies. I couldn’t have not farted in front of him even if I tried.

OP, he will have definitely heard you fart in your sleep.

My little dog used to come in bed with me and I could never bring myself to fart while she was snuggled up to me. She had no such scruples.

I’m with you OP, we don’t deliberately share smelly farts with each other, that’s just gross. We have a great relationship but I think some things are just best kept private. We don’t go to the toilet in front of each other either (caveat - we have more than one bathroom, neither of us have ibs or other digestive problems, pregnancy/menopause did not make me flatulent).

married 46 years - unrealistic to say never farted in front of each other in all that time but I don’t unless by accident - not really difficult for me as I am not usually a windy person ! Probably do at night unknowingly I expect😂 he does sometimes but will apologise, it’s usually sneaked up on him rather than just trumping away . It’s just manners really isn’t it

I was utterly mortified - we hadn’t been together all that long (maybe a year?) He was really kind about it though (whilst vomiting in a bucket because he couldn’t make it to the bathroom) and it made me love him more 🥰 20+ yrs later we are fairly relaxed about bodily functions. But not when anyone is eating or if we are having sex 🤣🤣🤣 Works for us.….

It was the beginning of the end with my ex. Proper gave me the ick.

He used to say he couldn't hold it in. But he never did it in front of our parents, friends etc.

Which meant he could hold it in, he just chose not to for me. Yuk.

We don't fart in front of each other either. It's not because we're holding it or anything. We just don't get the urge. We do use the toilet in front of each other though. Many a conversation happens while one of us sits on the porcelain throne and the other sits across the room.

I never did in 22 years.

I don’t even like the word fart

Not everyone has stinky farts

Funnily enough, despite not pooing or farting in front of each other at home, DH and I have a mini caravan and poo in that toilet in the little cubicle with a door that has a gap in the top, so not very private. And we go and empty the toilet cassette together and joke with each other about who a big poo belonged to when we see it come out.

Same here! I don’t fart as much as dp as I’m more polite than him, and will mostly save it for the toilet. I do fart sometimes though.

you fart in your sleep and they tend to
slip out as you age

What are they guessing? Whether it became more significant having fully committed yourself than initially expected?!

Am I the only one who read Pooticles and thought "Aw, they sound quite cute"....

I would find it very hard to hold in farts @Dancingatthepinkponyclub That said, I don't fart THAT much in front of DH. (Nor him in front of me.)

thank you !

Wait so it's ok for him to do it but he doesn't want you to because he finds it gross? Fuck that.

I would never intentionally fart and do leave the room if I can... But it would almost be impossible for DH to have never heard me fart in 11 years.

I'm sick at the moment with an awful cough and did a little fart when coughing earlier.
DH thought it was hilarious because I am always telling him off for farting lol.

He does fart around me and I hate it so much. He does try to go and fart in the bathroom or another room, but he is much more relaxed about it than I am.

Farts are a normal human function, but I find it deeply repulsive when people do them on purpose around others. Very teenage boy gross.

Me Neither ! Non Farter and proud !

We are very chilled about farting in front of each other but we are also pretty sensible. I think our boundaries dropped a lot during my two very close together pregnancies as I was really very poorly in both and the meds caused a lot of uncomfortable gas. I really couldn’t help it and then he just got on board.

That being said we don’t fart during meals or intimacy and wouldn’t let rip whilst cuddled up watching a movie etc. If there’s adequate space between us in rooms we do. We do sometimes in the car too if we really need to but it’s standard practice to put our window down for a minute of so to ‘air it out’. I’m happy with our level but each to their own.

Wait. So the non-farters have never experienced the huge entertainment value of a game of 'Guess my fart'?

I’m with you, OP. 12 years together, a DD and we have never intentionally done it in front of each other. Obviously the odd one has slipped out, and it can’t be helped when you’re asleep.

My dad used to do it when we were eating dinner and it was fucking disgusting, absolutely zero respect. I thank the high heavens I married a man completely different!

I'm the same OP! 20 Years together. Once I thought he had left the room (very early in our relationship) and i let rip and heard him say 'eugh' so I pretended i was asleep 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yea, Illness is entirely different- try having cancer and cdiff at the same time.
