Can we talk about the f word

[HighlandWorrier]

As in fart?! After 16 years together I am no longer mortified when I have to pass wind around him but DH always passes a snide comment, like he never does it As a good Scottish saying goes "where ever you may be let your wind blow free!"
I know it's not supposed to be ladylike and I would be mortified in public but come on fellow mumsnetters admit it do you let rip in front of your other halves too or disappear off somewhere private?

[VSwin]

DH's farts are absolutely disgusting and sometimes I can absolutely rage at him for them. Other times I find it funny and I find it especially funny when I let one rip myself, particularly if it's a grim one (payback biatch!)

However I know I love him when he takes the blame for my farts in front of family (we live with his parents while waiting to move into our new home and I'm 20 weeks pregnant)

Who says romance is dad eh?

If you have a digestive problem, sometimes you cant help letting one go but as a general rule, no. It demonstrates a lack of respect for anyone in your company.

When you're on your own you can do as you like - though could become a habit and you forget yourself in company.

[Belindabauer]

We both fart in front of each other. I couldn't be bothered leaving the room every time I had to trump.
My dp 's favourite trick is to announce: " I'm going to release the chocolate hostages! "

I honestly don't get the English fascination with bodily functions. I mean, we all have them, but other nationalities (and yes, there are at least some possible Scots on the thread) don't find them as hilarious.

But it's entirely fascinating to have a pro-farting-in-front-of-your-partner thread on the same forum which is (for me) incredibly prissy about household tidiness.

[vandrew4]

I don't understand why it's funny or acceptable to make somebody else inhale particles of your shit

[Sequinsglitter]

DH and I either laugh when we fart or just ignore it. Well occasionally his are really bad, then I'm certainly not laughing

@toffee

mumsnetters never fart Actually they/we do, but they/we "snap" first.

I can never hear about farting without thinking of MN classic "snapped and farted" thread.

[ALongHardWinter]

I was very proud of the intercity express train-like fart I did this morning,when I bent down to give the cat her food. Cat looked slightly surprised.

OMG please don't start me off again about 'snapped and farted'.

[Pixiegirl76]

I have been married a very long time.I have never farted in front of my husband.What a turn off,and unladylike to boot.Also,what about manners? Would you do it in a supermarket? no.So why do it in front of your husband? Time and place ):

[DarlingNikita]

intercity express train-like fart I think I know just what you mean.

[TheWiseWomansFear]

Often, he didn't used to care but now wants me to see a doctor because he thinks hey have become too infrequent and it's unhealthy... I have to agree

[ApolloandDaphne]

I actually find that supermarkets bring on the urge to fart. My DH has been known to sidle up to me and hiss'was that you?'. I smile sweetly and deny all.

Hahahaha. You’re joking, right?

What a prissy post.

[vandrew4]

socksandshoes I really don't get it. Do you really not mind inhaling shit particles?
personally I think it also shows a lack of respect for others, no matter who they are.
bet you could all keep it in during a job interview, so why not in front of other people; just the same as most of us manage not to shit ourselves when sat watching tv with someone we hope fancies us

[thecatsarecrazy]

I have a dh and 3 sons. We all fart.
My husband has watched me shit myself giving birth 3 times and being stitched up after
I don't care about farts. Even fart after sex

[PickAChew]

If I only ever farted in private, I'd be even more of an hermit than my natural introversion would tolerate.

Fast lifts often set me off. There's one in particular that DS1 gets the giggles in because he knows what is likely happen.

[BertrandRussell]

Accidental farts are funny, particularly at inappropriate moments. But deliberately farting in front of other people is horrible.

[Moussemoose]

Farting is the least of the problem.
No one in our house fats and then does an impression of the fart.
No body else then grades the original fart and the impression.

Nope - nothing going on like that in our house.

[MsLexic]

I would rather not fart but as I have colitis it is God's will.
My partner farts when he is nervous. The other day I was annoyed because we were trying to fix a light fitting which was loose and dangerous,and got nervous and farted and then I got angry with the feckin' ineptitude of him holding the fitting in place and it slightly occurred that if there was an electrical fault and a spark, we could both be blown up.

[DoYouWantABourbon]

Well having a stick up your arse probably helps keep them in.

[willyloman]

I believe it was a 'most searched' thing on google: why does my wife fart so much!
Yip. That's me, better out than in...

[GBroGal]

There's an old joke about a young man meeting his GF's parents for the first time. They are all at the table, enjoying the meal her Mum has cooked and the BF farts. Dad says "Get out Rover" and the BF thinks "I got away with it". It happens again, Dad again says "Get out Rover" and then again - when Dad says "Get out Rover - before he shits on you!"

[NoArmaniNoPunani]

I'm in a new relationship and we haven't farted in front of each other yet. I nearly fucking explode when he goes home

[HighlandWorrier]

Brilliant didn't realise my thread was still going, I posted in a slightly merry moment then cringed and wondered if I should have
