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?

I find it incredibly rude to fart in front of others. My ex used to do it and it was disgusting and totally inconsiderate.

Of course everyone breaks wind, but I go to the toilet to do so.

I also could absolutely never use the toilet in front of others. yuk.

I don;t see the connection with dignity, tbh. It's a natural event, and while you might control it in formal situations I don;t see the need in your home with people who love you (I'd hope).
No hilarity, though - it is no more funny than it is undignified. I don;t get fart humpour at all. I also wouldn't use the toilet in front of anyone - I didn't even let DD in when she was a toddler. That is private.

Heck, yes. Hold it in every time I wanted to fart?! I'd blow up.

Better an empty house than a bad tenant, as my lovely Grandpa likes to say.

so glad you ensured to say "in the toilet" rather than in his bath, lol....
hmm...farting happens ...but going to the toilet in each others company not really.... luckily we have an upstairs and downstairs loo, lol

I know everyone does it in there sleep and i have woken myself up doing it on occasion but i would never knowingly do it in front of dp, he does now but never used to. And as for using the toilet in front of him i only wee with the door open if im drunk but never a number two. Everytime i have a bath he feels the need to come in for a wee!

Jimmychoochoo- you actually went out early every morning on holiday to use the hotel reception toilet to poo, rather than your ensuite?? And at home you always run the shower or bath to drown out any noise??

It just seems such hard work! Even if you are of the persuasion that it's not polite to deliberately fart in front of a partner, surely youd accept that pooing is a natural function and that it's what your ensuite is for!

I am in awe of the lengths you go to, but I find it baffling.

I love to let rip. Oh yes indeed. Real corkers too.

I especially have an uncontrollable urge in National Trust properties. I feel I'm adding to it somehow. Every one has been graced that we have visited. Sort of an echo through time........

Per una also does something to me in this respect. The look of shock on a cats bum mouth crusty bid in the Cambridge and the startled rabbit look from my DH resulted in such hysterics on my part I pissed myself.

Actually that was a bit embarrassing.

However, I could never relax enough to poo around anyone. Have never used a public toilet for such. So we all have our ways.

PMSL at "echo through time" ...

I used to try my best not to but since having DD, its rather impossible not to :( DP always finds it acceptable to wait until I have a bath running to do the most stinkiest poos :( We have both done the toilet in front of each other as well. I see it as we are completely comfortable around each other and sometimes find it funny too.

I still think it's only a fart. That said we don't poo in front of each other in our house.

As for dignity, for me being able to fart in front of DP and the kids means I am totally relaxed around them. I am with the people I love most, and who love me, they've seen me at my worst and still care. I do take care in public, precisely because I'm not relaxed in the same way.

It is now a matter of family legend about the day years ago when our family (ie my mum, dad, bro and me) went to Flambards on Cornwall. We were sat on wooden benchs in the cafeteria when Dad let rip. It was magnified by the wooden bench and the effect was a vast echoing noise throughout the cafeteria. The instant reaction of mum, bro and me was to sink in our seats and quietly hope no-one looked in our direction. Unfortunately, a hope not fulfilled ...

Fuck that, farted in front of each other on our first night together and will shite in front of each other without a second thought.

Only one bathroom and when the alternative is the cat's litter tray...

He only ever hears the 'accidental' ones that I can't hold in or don't mean to let out

I wee in front of him - no embaressment there.

I am however shocked whilst having similar discussions with my friends at the amount a couple of them admit to farting, burping and even pooing infront of DP's!!!
