To not fart in front of DH?

[magic8]

I recently had a conversation with some female friends and this came up.
They were all really shocked that i don't fart in front of dh (or anyone else for that matter),i was shocked that i was the only one who does'nt .
Its not that he would think any less of me or anything,we have a great relationship,i just don't really think anyone wants to experience anyone elses wind particulairly.
so am i odd in this or does anyone else feel the same?

Farts are funny, this is a well known fact. If it were not so then the whoopie cushion would never have been invented.

My DH isn't allowed to fart, only I am allowed.

To those that say they don't fart, what would happen if you did?

Does the world end or summit?

CointreauVersial I know or worse still I won't have heard the door and they walk into the living room just as I make the windows shake after holding onto it for 4 hours.

Anyone remember an act that used to be on late night channel4, circa early 1990s, that involved puffs of talcum powder and musical farting?

As a teacher the key to farting at work is to position yourself behind some teenage lads, allow the fart to slip out whilst continuing to instruct the students then move off and snigger inwardly as they all blame each other was taught this as a NQT

I don't do it in front of dp when I'm awake, he likes to tell me when I've let one off in my sleep though.

I'd rather do bum farts infront of him than fanny farts though, don't know why

I challenge anyone who doesn't fart in front of their family to eat a large plate of baked onions,turkey,brussel sprouts,baked beans and Jerusalem artichokes,then do a yoga DVD a little later.

Go on.Try!

i could understand (sort of) not having a shit in front of DH but not farting?!?!? so you're basically saying you cant fart in your own home? that cannot be good for you. i'm not a wild farter but i think it is very wrong to deny you fart or keep it in everyone farts and everyone shits, why can't grown up people accept this?? i'm not saying that manly fart competitions should be the norm but there should be no shame in it esp in front of your DH!!

Fart away, I say.
I cannot believe that people who have kids, and presumably have participated in some of the most unhygienic acts know to humankind (ie oral, vaginal and anal sex), not to mention the whole childbirth experience, have an issue about farting in front of their partner.

I once ordered a 'Birds And Bees" type book for DD1 that advised that unless she felt comfortable with the idea of farting in someone's company then she shouldn't be thinking of having sex with them. Strange advice for a 12 year old I thought (especially as the corollary to the advice seemed to me that if she was fine with the farting then she should fire away with the sex) but maybe there was some wisdom to it.

I think holding DP down on the floor whilst you fart right up against their nose is inappropriate for most relationships (discuss it first at least, perhaps early in your relationship too if it's important to be able to do that, but not on the first date...) but not farting is just crazy. The relaxed enough to fart / have sex seems pretty sound advice to me.

Ok I try not to fart in front of dh and conveniently blame the dog/ds if one slips out. He doesn't make too much of a fuss if I do to be honest, we are only human after all and I have no control over these things when I'm asleep

I do remember after my c section though being so full of wind and in extreme pain that I let rip not only in front of the whole ward but all my visitors too . Mortified now but I didn't seem to care at the time

I did once. It was by accident. We were in the garden in the summer. It just slipped out and I was v he said 'I can't believe you just farted?! In the garden ?! Like you should NEVER fart in the garden.

you not close unless you fart infront of your dh.

I wish DH wouldn't fart in front of me. Or in bed with me. One actually burned my eyes and nose the other night.

We grade ours.

OH is currently wining, damn his healthy lentil filled diet, but as I?m currently cooking Keema and chickpea and spud curry I may gain some valuable points tonight, just need to be a bowl ahead of him

good on you op, i'd be disgusted if my gf started farting in front of me

I have a condition which provokes IBS, so I'm a right old trumpet most of the time. If I don't let rip when I need to it leads to agonising cramps and sometimes it just comes out even if I'm trying to hold it.

So when I'm out and about it can be incredibly embarrassing, but I'm not going to put myself through pain at home to avoid farting in front of my family (who all find farts hilarious and we rate them anyway)

kblu,absolutely!!!! When they come round and ask you if you've passed wind yet and you are delighted to answer "Oh YES! LONG and LOUD!!!" I remember the pain and the relief after both CS's!

if dh didn't shit his load in front of me - then i wouldn't either

but i'll be damned if i'm doing it on some grounds that i am a delecate flower of a woman who doesn't fart.

I agree that farting is funny. It just is.
