Love me - love my farts. We come as a package.

ExitPursued If we are in a hotel and I really can't wait until he leaves the room I will run the shower while I go. Having my DH hear me go is just something I've never been able to do.

On the other hand he would quite happily come into the bathroom and take a shit while I'm in the shower, if I didn't go fucking mental every time he tried it.

hmm.

Dh is in a room upstairs and has just done an almighty burp.

it sounded like a barf, though Hmm

This is partly a question of age OP. Bitter experience involving the MIL tells me that women of a certain age don't have much say in the matter.

Sparkletastic · 17/06/2011 15:26

YANBU. Ability to fart in one another's company without fear of judgement is the sign of a happy marriage.

DH and I are extremely childish and find it funny.

PinotsKittens · 17/06/2011 15:30

Exit OMG I am sniggering at your 'compliment' comment Grin !!

OP, YABU. Just let em out. Unless you've eaten eggs for lunch in which case

ExitPursuedByAKitten · 17/06/2011 15:37

We often blame the dog though - his are rank - and frequently noisy.

ExitPursuedByAKitten · 17/06/2011 15:37

And my horse farts her way up every hill, and we live in a very hilly area.

Glitterknickaz · 17/06/2011 15:38

Of course you should.
You don't need to take it to mine and DH's extent and have competitions though Grin

Well.... not unless you want to.

valiumredhead · 17/06/2011 15:41

Ewwwwww no! I would leave if he started that sort of malarky blerk, dh never farts in front of me and I try not to either!!

SconesForTea · 17/06/2011 15:45

DH and I don't fart in front of each other (and I have given birth in front of him). Tbh I wish we did, cos it is a PITA to hold it in especially in bed (and then have to get up and go to the bathroom to let it out) but I just can't let go in front of him Blush I'm sure I fart for England in my sleep from all the holding it in.

SconesForTea · 17/06/2011 15:46

And I'm pregnant, so very windy.

Pumpernickel10 · 17/06/2011 15:46

Try fanny farting that creases up DH every time

spatchcock · 17/06/2011 15:47

We do, and we've been talking about this lately as we're expecting our first DC.

Do you fart in front of your kids - and if so, how do you demonstrate (for want of a better word) that there are times and places to fart loudly and laugh, and times when you should be discreet?

IloveJudgeJudy · 17/06/2011 15:48

We don't here. He doesn't in front of me, and I don't in front of him. There has to be some mystery Grin.

LolaRennt · 17/06/2011 15:48

Holding in farts kills. Fact.

Lauzifer · 17/06/2011 15:49

I get told off when i fart even though my dp does it all the time and they always smell like a racoon has crawled up his arse and died. Angry

minipie · 17/06/2011 15:58

YANBU. I can't imagine being in a marriage where I had to get up and leave the room when I needed to fart.

But mine don't smell so I don't see the harm

Whereas DH's are revolting.

bonkers20 · 17/06/2011 15:59

YANBU. I do, though I don't fall about laughing afterwards, nor raise one butt cheek and squeeze one out, nor do it so the neighbours can hear.

Yes, we all break wind, but there are ways of doing it :-)

HellBunny · 17/06/2011 17:04

Yeah, I'm a serial air-ripper. And he's worse than me. He sounds like a motorbike leaving the garage!

GabbyLoggon · 17/06/2011 17:15

Sorry I did laugh. I have dropped a few in my time

ifitsnotanarse · 17/06/2011 17:18

We don't fart, we toot. That's because we're posher that you lot here. Grin

SequinsAndSparkles · 17/06/2011 17:21

Eww no I absolutely don't. It's not very sexy, is it??

RedGreenBlue · 17/06/2011 17:25

Define "in front of".

In his presence - ok, fair enough. But don't stand directly in front of him while he's sat watching TV, that's just unnecessary.

QueenofDreams · 17/06/2011 17:32

When my Mum was a nurse she looked after a woman who got internal gangrene from holding in farts (she died by the way). Farts are a waste product and should not be held in!
