Page 12 | Not farting in front of DH

Not really an AIBU but I love hearing what others think! Have been with my DH for 18 years and have never intentionally farted in front of him. I mean I know it’s impossible to hold every fart in but he’s never actually heard one! If I need to I would go in another room or be discreet. My mum and sister are the same and a couple of friends. Also my DH is the same and won’t in front of me unless he does by mistake! I know it’s natural and everyone does it but I’d never want to endure someone’s else’s fart nor make them endure mine! It hardly makes you attractive does it! That being said I wouldn’t fart in front of anyone… I mean maybe the dog! what do you think?!

I'm happy to be in a relationship where we try to spare each other from the stench of farts. Occasionally they slip out of course, and that's no big deal - we're not prudes. But we both take some care not to let rip when the other one is close by.

People who overshare their bowel and toileting habits, directly or by incessantly talking about it, are pretty tiresome IMO and I would never be attracted to someone who does it.

It’s a farty party in this house!

Weeing in front of each other is fine, poo no. It's the smell that bothers me, I find it really off putting. I think I'm very sensitive to strong smells. I found it gross when my exH pooed while I was in the bath, didn't want to even open that up as a possibility this time round.

Oh no, only one at a time in the bathroom in my house. 🤣😆😆

Never ever broken wind in front of anyone.

He has held my hair whilst I vomited, seen me actually crap myself (not intentionally, I had horrific campylobacter 🤦‍♀️) and helped me wash and dress after a major operation. I’ve done similar for him (he had campylobacter at the same time - that was……fun 🤮) A fart is nothing in this house!

That’s completely different. Crapping yourself when you’ve got something as vile as campylobacter is not something anyone can help.

GHxx · 16/02/2025 21:27

I find it mind blowing that anyone actually does that infront of other people, let alone people that are meant to find you attractive. My husband has only ever accidentally done it too or if he’s been asleep. I’ve had two kids and yet to slip up 😂

We've done all that for each other too, but we still would try not to fart in front of each other as it is not pleasant. If it happens, it happens but we try to avoid it to be nice to each other.

I think Elsa said it best...."Let it go"! 😁
It's a natural bodily function. Saying that, I don't do it at work! I wait until I'm driving home, to warm up my seat! Lol
DH and I just get sarcastic at each other when we fart in front of one another.
Also.....
Beans, beans are good for your heart, the more you eat the more you fart! The more you fart, the better you feel, so eat baked beans with every meal.

I knew a differnt version...

Beans beans are good for the heart
The more you eat, the more you fart
The more you fart, the more you eat,
The longer you sit on the toilet seat.

I’ve never farted in front of my long term partner - been together 7 years

I disagree that everyone does it. My teenage crush certainly didn’t do it !

bomalan · 16/02/2025 21:26

My partner farts all the time. I find it hilarious (perhaps childish sense of humour!!).

I try my best not to fat in front of him, but it does happen on occasion. He finds it gross, so I only do it on purpose if we've had an argument. Just to piss him off a bit more.

mynameisjeff20 · 16/02/2025 21:22

No we fart proudly and I think it’s super weird to be in a long term relationship and not hear each other fart!! Do you not bath while the other is on the loo?! We do that all the time 🤣

I'd always thought that was obvious, it's hardly going to contain particles of roses is it!

This is the house of fart. I'm from a long line of healthy farters and my kids are also regular farters. Its a natural bodily function that simply means your gut is healthy and working. DH and I both fart a lot!
My mum does wee squeaky ones while she walks! She actually went to the Dr as dad thought she farted too much. Several checks later, she trumped out the Dr's with the verdict of a very healthy bowel!
It is natural and I would explode if I didnt fart regularly! Also I'm dreadfully immature as is my DH and we giggle when we fart!

These posts just get funnier and funnier 🤣🤣😂😂

Lyannaa · 16/02/2025 21:25

YANBU - it’s gross and unnecessary.

IMustDoMoreExercise · 16/02/2025 21:25

TheLaughOfRustyLee · 16/02/2025 20:33

Or so you think.

Are you saying you have never farted in your sleep and he has never been awake to hear it?

That will all change when you hit perimenopause 😆

I've been through peri and it didn't make me fart any more that normal (which is only about once a day anyway).

O this is interesting… was it only wheat you gave up?
or perhaps any type of grain?

(I have both eczema and bloating recently)

Wheat, and all refined carbs, butter and significantly cut down red meat

Get a dog!!

MrsJoanDanvers · 16/02/2025 21:23

If any man lifted his leg and farted in front of me, I’d never have sex with them again. We don’t fart, pee or shit in front of each other. Sure, if we were ill-I’ve had to get my dh a receptacle to pee in then get rid of it-is one thing but farting intentionally? But those who love it, crack on!

ILoveQuicheandCheese · 16/02/2025 21:22

I do have a habit of farting when I cough or sneeze. All mystery gone! Any suggestions in how I can stop doing this gratefully received.

BusySquid · 16/02/2025 21:21

I personally find them hilarious. If we manage to make someone gip from the smell - even better. The only rule we have is no farting when someone is eating or during any sexy time. That's rude and a turn off.

I'd rather let it out then have stomachache.

Just a thought. I gave up wheat a couple of years ago. I simply don't need to clench any more. It has been transformative. The eczema disappeared, the bloating disappeared, the aches and pains disappeared - all along with the flatulence.

O this is interesting… was it only wheat you gave up?
or perhaps any type of grain?

discdiscsnap · 16/02/2025 21:20

Yes same never intentionally farted in front of dh and vice versa. Occasionally we have heard or smelt each others farts but we aim to avoid. Don't poo in front of each other either or burp.

It's nice to have a bit of mystery.

TheHangrySwan · 16/02/2025 21:18

I have IBS…if I left the room every time I farted, I’d never see my husband again.
