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 think it's strange if you're not comfortable enough to fart in your own home freely (when you're not with outside company of course).

I couldn't imagine either of us needing a fart and either holding it in or moving to a different room - that's not natural.

Same for us, it's a choice, not an expectation.

I haven't for 12 years and its such a faff, i wish I did!!

Fell asleep on the couch the other night watching telly, in a curled up ball. Lots of pressure on the tummy, pushed a massive one right out and woke me up. DH sat up and looked me right in the eye and burst out laughing, I was mortified!
Ive given birth in front of him and I'm still embarrassed of a fart, its ridiculous really!

For me it's not about being comfortable. It's that when I have sat in others people's farty rooms I have found it disgusting, therefore I don't want to create that in my own house. If I'm trying to relax i would find it hard to do that engulfed in a lingering fart cloud.

Im comfortable in that if one accidentally slips out, we'd laugh, but we wouldn't intentionally inflict something unpleasant on each other.

I don't have to fart often, when I do it's usually that I need the toilet so I'll just go for a shit, if that doesn't work I'll just let a few rip before joining company again.

I would never intentionally fart in front of anyone else. That is just being considerate and polite, I'm glad my husband is similar.

Not intentionally but sometimes it's hard to hold in!
We sleep separately now and I have to say a huge benefit is the option of farting as freely as I wish!

You want to try getting in a taxi when the driver has clearly been letting rip!!! 🤢🤢🤢 I'm a free farter, but seriously, there are limits and that was gross!!!

We do fart-offs... sometimes we position ourselves strategically!

I honestly cannot see how I would want to have sex with someone after this.

That would put me off from the first date!

We are married 30 years and would be very considerate and respectful of each other.

It may happen occasionally but we would absolutely apologise.
I cannot fathom an open loo door.
Absolutely not.

I think reading on MN how disgusting some men are has made me apple my husbands wordless courtesies.

He would never use our ensuite for a number 2.
We were away for a few nights recently and I noticed how he would use the main loos downstairs of the gorgeous hotel rather than our shared room.
I think courtesies like that cement a marriage.

I remember how a poster on here wrote after years of bad behaviour, her husband doing a number 2 whilst she was in the bath, despite there being other loos, was the final nail in the coffin.

We both try not to. DD farts with freedom
though, we are subjected to a lot of those.

How is it a 'courtesy' to deliberately not use a toilet for 50% of its express designed purpose - even with the door closed and locked, if you prefer?

It just sounds like a waste to me.

Because it leads straight into our bedroom.

If you cannot understand, you cannot understand.
But it certainly is a courtesy that many women would acknowledge as such.

En-suite loos are emergency loos in my book. Only used when there's really no other choice. Not a waste at all, a back up.

It cost the same and use the same resources to use another one in the house, and it makes everyone's life more pleasant.

People do what they want in their own home, I am happy in mine!

No, but I don't fart much anyway.

I like belching to release gas so I suppose it is similar, less smelly.

But surely that's part of the package with an en-suite? It's a toilet right next to your bedroom - meaning that you have both the convenience and the sounds and smells of somebody using a toilet right near your bed?!

This. I'm with you, OP. I'd get the ick and wouldn't fancy them anymore.

Same here! There were a couple of slips in late pregnancy but apart from that no I don’t fart in front of anyone. I don’t really mind it if other people fart but can’t face doing it myself 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have a stoma so I cannot hide noises so we just joke about it but at least there's no smell 🫣🤷‍♀️

Nah I’m not intentional farter and can’t say either DH or I find it particularly funny. I’m not uptight about it and if I do it accidentally in front of DH it’s no big deal, I don’t do it deliberately. I try to NEVER fart in front of anyone else. I hate it in company.

I have never intentionally farted in front of a partner.

But then never lived with a partner so not sure how long I could keep that up as I an very gassy.

In front of siblings / parents I fart with freedom.

Seems there’s a market for all you flatulent foxes out there

I’ve always removed myself from the room, if I’ve needed to pass wind, and tbh I find it excruciating when others just let rip and think it’s hilarious. I can’t think of many things that I find less funny. I find so called “toilet humour” annoying.
I don’t judge other people for what they do in their own space, but don’t expect me to howl with feigned laugher over because you decided to let one go in a public space.

I can’t imagine a life where farting in front of the family wasn’t normal??

I mean where else do you get that kind of laughter, jokes, ridicule, comparisons, acting out feigned deaths and calls of “has that one touched cloth” come from??

Weirdos, the lot of ya 😂

When I was breastfeeding I found that eating certain foods seem to make my baby uncomfortably windy. I gave up wine and eating grapes, citrus fruits, onions and curry until he'd stopped breastfeeding, as all these seemed to exacerbate his windiness.
