YANBU - it's disgusting. My husband has never once farted in front of me in 8 years together. How are you supposed to keep the romance alive in a marriage if you are regularly exposed to his rectal gas? GROSS

DH and i do both fart in front of each other but apologise and say "excuse me".
I just couldn't countenance going to the loo in front of him though, or him in front of me. I think that's pretty gross. I do not want to see or hear him having a shit and wiping his arse!

:o at seekers reaction!

"People do this?! But.. They can't.. They mustn't.."

I will be OK dear.

Grin So unlike the homelike of our own dear Queen!

We fart in front of each other & say "excuse me".

It happens occasionally-like a burp.

Or do pepple leave the room for that also?

But we don´t sit there forcing them out, comparing or awarding points!

We just don't mention it.I wouldnt do it at the table nor would he.If it happened elsewhere and it was really offensive the person responsible would apologise but its no big deal.I have never been to the toilet with anyone over the age of 3 in the room.

I wouldn't fart in public, but why not in front of dh? He's seen me give birth twice, gas won't faze him. He trumped very loudly a while ago, we both looked at each other and declared 'ooh, confident!' I still giggle about it, but I'm childish.

we must be hideously uncouth in this house then Grin

we trump and burp quite merrily in front of each other and have no problem going to the toilet in front of each other.

in fact, right now, the living room window is open because dd and the ddog have been releasing incredibly noxious gas all day and it REEKS in here.

it doesn't mean that we don't respect each other or that we are not romantic, it means that we are comfortable with ALL of our bodies and their functions. Smile

Leave a box of matches on your bedside table and strike one when he farts... it will dissipate the aroma. I used to keep them in my bathroom when I had a Spanish lodger, they were in valuable.

PS... Don't try to light them as burn marks on sheets do not come out...
