To think everyone must fart in front of their other half at some point?...

[EmptyCrispPackets]

I had a convo with a friend, and she said her OH would never fart in front of her and vice versa.. They've been married a fair few years.

I don't make a habit of lifting cheeks and being obvious but if I need to do it I do. The tummy ache can be a killer

I'll also wee if he's in the bath (on the toilet obviously).

Is it me or is it just unrealistic to think you would never be able to not do it at some point when living with someone long term?

And sitting on the toilet in front of your partner, defacating, is so low rent and wrong !

No shame farting infront of DH. In fact, when he really annoys me I'll fart in response to him rather than answering his question.

As for poos and wees, we have no bathroom door (long story!) so no choice there but I do ask he does a poo in the ensuite looif I'm going to have a bath.

Laughing so much at this thread! My 4 year old dd did the 'pull my finger' trick today. Definately no farting issues in this house.

Those of you who never fart in front of a partner, what happens when you go for a poo? Do you just let rip? Or try to poo without farting? Or sing loudly?
I'm just intrigued because many people must live (or at least started living with their partner) in a small house or flat where soundproofing isn't great.

Is it about pretending the bodily function doesn't ever happen? Or is it purely a 'manners' thing and you wouldn't do it in front of them but once on the loo, you blast them out merrily?

If I left the room every time I needed a fart I would never see DH. Some of my farts are so impressive they need to be shared !

No point avoiding it really, we all relax and let loose when we sleep.

In the early days of our relationship we were at different universities. We were still at the pretending not to fart stage when one morning DH went out to a lecture. I stayed on his room and started to fart away unencumbered by embarrassment. The smell was horrible and once I'd started I just couldn't stop. I'm sure holding them in had made it worse.

Suddenly DH arrives back a whole hour early . I was wafting a magazine around with the window wide open.

Even now over ten years on if I complain about his farting he says 'well you started it'.

I just don't get why anyone thinks it's funny or otherwise doesn't mind the smell of someone's bum and the reminder of poo. To me it's the ultimate sign of disrespect and kills romance. My dh doesn't share my uptight view, however!

janey-I have been with dh for 6 years and I have never done anything infront of him regarding burping belching trumping farting..
How?
On holiday this year there was no lock on the door in the hotel.Every morning I'd get the papers(main purpose to use the reception toilets)so no need to use toilets in our hotel room.

At home-I turn the shower on to heat up water and go toilet.Or I might run a bath for dc and go toilet.

If he farted infront of me I'd kick his stinking arse out of my life but maybe I'm shallow..

You wouldn't(or at least I hope you wouldnt)fart infront of your boss,bank manager or best friends dad so why let your dh(or poor husband)smell the contents of your insides???

For those of you who don't fart in front of partners, have you ever considered that you can't control what you do when you are asleep?

Even this morning, DP commented I'd woken him up with a ripper, while being soundly asleep. I guess it was just revenge after the stinker he did one night not so long ago

But most men snore and wouldn't hear it...or they'd think they dreamt it

I fart in my sleep (occasionally loud enough to wake myself up ), so I don't have much choice.

Seriously, DH has seen me give birth i.e. scream like a banshee, pooh in the birthing polo and get my vagina stitched up by random strangers. There really is no point being all coy and delicate about a few farts.

Some people posting on this thread have a severe lack of dignity and class. I would have hated for my DH to see my vagina sewn up or shitting in a birthing pool - how low can you go . Sometimes it's nice to preserve some decency with your loved ones.

those who hold it in on front of their partners must trump it all out like a herd of elephants as soon as they go to sleep - so ye're all kidding yourselves!

No we're not!

Sometimes it's nice to preserve some decency with your loved ones.

And sometimes it's nice to know that you're loved so much that it really doesn't matter what your loved ones see. :)

My dh has seen me poo in childbirth, my fanny torn from here to eternity and sewn up like a patchwork quilt that the midwife asked him to look at to see if it looked ok!!!!!

Still haven't farted though

Never in my sleep either - he'd be the first to tell me.

I don't think having your partner with you while you give birth in the water or holding your hand when you have stitches afterwards is low is it?

No sparkling - low is having to worry about how "dignified" you look to your partner at a time of your life when you most need support.

It's unnecessary, low rent and ridiculous. Dignity!

Oh for heavens sake, it's only a fart. My MIL still laughs about the time I "farted in a National Trust Shop"! DH was on best behaviour when we first met (I wasn't) but it didn't take us long to become comfortable with each other & tbh we both giggle when one of us lets rip!

No, I wouldn't fart in front of DH if I can avoid it. I wouldn't fart at work either - those of you saying you can't help it - do you just let them out at work?! i find that gross. You can surely leave the room/go outside/go to the toilet and do it?
