So glad you've said this I do the exact same thing Blush

Justmadeperfectflapjacks · 17/04/2017 19:03

Been with dh for 5 years and he has never heard me fart.

Teabagtits · 17/04/2017 19:03

Best get it over with quickly. The smellier the better. If they stick around you're doing ok.

oldwife · 17/04/2017 19:06

It's up to you.

I don't do it. We like to keep a little mystery in our marriage. Wink

But Trump away if you must, it's not very good manners though

I have IBS and UC. I occasionally chance a fart. But with UC it's a risky business. DP is not bothered. If it's 'aromatic' i usually go elsewhere for politeness' sake.....Wink

No I wouldn't dare lift my leg and let rip but I'm sooo embrassed to even go to the toliet went out at 12.30am this morning made an excuse that I needed a 24/7 garage what is open to buy lady things but instead found the local mc D's and rushed to the loo

I thought I was doing well in this area. Kept them hidden and he never heard me do one. That was until he informed me that I literally spent all night trumping when I was asleep. Real stinky knee tremblers. My advice? Get them out before bedtime while you still have some control over how loud/long they are!!! Grin

Trifleorbust · 17/04/2017 19:12

I wouldn't fart in front of a new date. They know people do it, but IMO it shows a certain unwillingness to make the effort!

DevelopingDetritus · 17/04/2017 19:14

I know what you mean OP but with me I wouldn't be able to keep it up for long, I'm very windy and it would leave me in pain holding it in.

witchofzog · 17/04/2017 19:15

There is a first fart window imo. Around 6 months. After this forever hold em. I used to fart in front of one partner but not another. This was because I passed the first fart window and it just felt odd to suddenly start lol. Grin

DevelopingDetritus · 17/04/2017 19:18

there have been unexpected ones and we say excuse me. but neither of us lifts an arse cheek and pushes) Crying here.

Nocabbageinmyeye · 17/04/2017 19:22

Nope 10 years together, no need to fart or discuss bowel movements. I'm not a prude I just think its unnecessary really, if I happened to fart I wouldn't die of embarrassment but it would be an accident or in my sleep, if it happens when you sleep it doesn't count obviously

INXS · 17/04/2017 19:24

witchofzog actually lolling here

CatTheMouse · 17/04/2017 19:24

Nocabbage

It doesn't?? You have made my day!!

MaidenMotherCrone · 17/04/2017 19:36

Let it go, let it go

We are both very at ease with our bodily functions, nothing is taboo. It has absolutely nothing at all to do with lack of respect and everything to do with being completely at ease with each other.

Farts are funny.

MadameDePomPom · 17/04/2017 19:40

It's a bit uncouth to fart in front of a new beau. Especially if ones farts are prone to be faecally pungent. Unless of course you've met on a fart fetish dating website in which case lift your bum cheeks and push push push.

OhTheRoses · 17/04/2017 19:41

There's a time and a place. At home, in comfort, with loved ones. How do people hold them in. I can let them out silently but I can't stop them. I do find I don't if I cut out wheat.

Nocabbageinmyeye · 17/04/2017 19:45

Haha Catthemouse I hadn't even read your post when I replied Grin Nope doesn't count at all, in fact your dp shouldn't even tell you next day, its his faux pas not yours Wink

HappyLabrador · 17/04/2017 19:48

I can understand the not farting on a first date or in the very early stages of a relationship but I think its weird to feel embarrassed about farting in front of your long-term partner/Dh.

I mean, people in long relationships who don't fart in front of each other, do you get up and go to a different room, out of earshot, every single time you think you might need to fart?

Odd.

CatTheMouse · 17/04/2017 19:52

Whoo hoo! I look forward to him next enlightening me with tales of the night before!

Just so I can look him in the eye and say 'I have been reliably informed by nocabbage from MN that they do not count once I'm asleep!'

EllebellyBeeblebrox · 17/04/2017 19:55

Yabu to use the word Trump

DearMrDilkington · 17/04/2017 19:58

After childbirth I've lost all modesty. A fart is nothing compared to all of the wonderful things spilling out of your vagina and arse during labour.

I'd feel more uncomfortable doing a dump in McDonald's Shock
