Not farting in front of DH

[Dancingatthepinkponyclub]

Not really an AIBU but I love hearing what others think!

Have been with my DH for 18 years and have never intentionally farted in front of him. I mean I know it’s impossible to hold every fart in but he’s never actually heard one! If I need to I would go in another room or be discreet. My mum and sister are the same and a couple of friends. Also my DH is the same and won’t in front of me unless he does by mistake!

I know it’s natural and everyone does it but I’d never want to endure someone’s else’s fart nor make them endure mine! It hardly makes you attractive does it! That being said I wouldn’t fart in front of anyone… I mean maybe the dog!

what do you think?!

I’m just baffled as to how people can be in a committed relationship for many years and not fart in front of each other. It’s a natural bodily function, and frankly as an IBS sufferer I would be in absolute agony holding it in, the alternative would be to never share a room with DH. I wouldn’t fart in front of guests, and there have been some very difficult and painful times with trips to the bathroom, I certainly wouldn’t want to endure that on a daily basis.
DH and I are not vulgar with it, we simply fart, say excuse me, and neither of us gives a damn.

I would love to be a fly on the wall of a prudy couple having a serious 'fart boundaries' conversation at the start of their relationship.

😆

Nope. We don't do it in this house!

Personally I find it gross and very disrespectful. It would give be the ick.

I wonder how many of the people on here ,who are so refined they wouldn't fart , will allow their partner to put their penis up their arsehole.

I'll just leave this here...

The day I stop finding farts funny will be the day that life is too joyless to be worth living 😅

Honest question - if farting is meant time do good, why f do I none of the blokes I’ve had a crush on seem to do it?

let’s face it - our crushes never do it

This 😂😂

I mean, all the humans in my house have all been inside me at some point.. I created most of them so why get worked up over a fart?!

I do try to do my Donalds away from others but there are always times when they just happen, with no prior warning. DH doesn't give a monkeys and performs a full rectal rhapsody whenever he feels the need.

Edit: I really did not mean to quote there, my apologies.

I kind of understand withholding them sometimes- eg if you’re all cosy in bed it’s not very fair on the other person if it can be helped!

I don’t understand people saying they feel embarrassed at the thought of their DH hearing or knowing they fart 😵‍💫 Maybe in the very, very early stages of a relationship but when you’re living together in a years long relationship??

Oh, the picture you paint. 😂

Surely everyone farts in their sleep?

Also giving birth- there’s like a 90% chance you’ll do an actual poo in front of your DH whilst pushing. Daunting at the best of times but surely a million times worse if you’re mortified at the thought of him hearing you fart.

We have both been known to fart so loudly we've woken each other up.

He'll have walked into the bathroom minutes after you left it. Believe me, he knows what your farts smell like.

I don't do it, just as I wouldn't in front of anyone else. I'm not saying it's never happened but I try not to. DH on the other hand does it all the time. Sometimes it wakes me up in the morning. I hate it. It's really disrespectful.

I have always been discreet in front of DH (10 years). Last week that all changed with something I ate that didn't agree with me. He is probably disgusted but I feel liberated and won't be silenced any longer.

Regularly farting in front of dh is completely different from administering personal care. I'm not squeamish about anything like that, and I've worked in healthcare a lot over the last 40 years. If he crapped himself because he was ill, or whatever, cleaning him up wouldn't bother me one bit. I'm not at all uptight!
I just respect good manners.

That's disgusting 🫣

It's ok, I enjoyed 'Donalds' (might start using that myself)
& full rectal rhapsody (sounds a tad painful!)

We don't fart in front of each other or the kids even. I don't know why we consider it rude even though it is a natural bodily function. I think it's because if you really think about it, it's air that's been around your poo inside your body. It feels rude to make other people smell that particular air.

💪

As one half of a “prudy couple” let me enlighten you; in my case, no conversation has been necessary as we both just prefer not to fart in front of each other, so it’s been a normal and unspoken aspect of our relationship.

But if my BF had shown a tendency to let loose when I was in the room, after the first couple of instances I would have just said, “Hey, if you don’t mind, I’d prefer to keep a little mystery in our relationship around body functions. I know sometimes it’s not possible but prefer to avoid burping and farting in front of each other and I’m definitely not a fan of sharing a bathroom at the same time.”

Probably not many! Is there some kind of problem with that?

I pooped myself in front of my husband once (obviously not intentional - it was really bad food poisoning!) - so letting the odd fart out is nothing!
