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?!

Also what’s the stance on fanny farts? Acceptable or not…or is that a whole different thread 🤣

My DH once held my hand and stroked my hair while a poor, sweet nurse manually extracted my poo with her gloved fingers because I was so severely constipated and dehydrated with hyperemesis during pregnancy.

I now have Crohn’s disease and can rattle the windows. Frequently!

The mystery in our 30 year relationship left so long ago it’s probably on Mars by now!

Every fanny fart I've done has been unintentional so don't fall into same category for me. Plus they don't smell.

Can people fanny fart on demand ?

My 10 year old daughter and her friend ran in the house once to get me and my husband to watch a trick they’d learned on the trampoline.

After laying on their back, and scooping their legs like breast stroke, they then straightened up and pulled their legs back behind their heads and did the loudest fanny farts and then sat up laughing and watching for our applause at the trick!! We just looked at each other wide eyed trying not to laugh….he walked away sharpish and I just cried laughing 😂

Fair play. I'd probably laugh too then encourage them not to make it their party trick.

But i don't find fanny farts gross , it's just air being squeezed out. My issue with farts is they make the room / environment unpleasant

We fart with free abandon in this house. Long and loud. Why not?

Farts are hilarious and far better out than in. 🤣🤣

When OH and I first met we planned a really nice romantic weekend away, dinner out, posh hotel, the works. It's was the first time we'd spent the night together so were really making an effort. I was DESPERATE for a trump and was lying there are cramped up pretending to be asleep, waiting until he'd gone to bathroom before risking sneaking it out. Finally got my chance and my expected teeny tiny puff of a trump came out as the loudest, longest, rattling thunderous enormous fart you've ever heard in your life. All I heard was him shout "What THE FUCK was that?!" from the en suite and then just roars of laughter. He laughed so much he said it was a battle to keep his aim in the loo. There's been no point whatsoever in hiding it since. 🙈

That's brilliant 😂

Why not? The smell...

Rarely any smell.

When I was growing up my parents would have farting competitions. Those were the days. 🤣 We aren't uptight about farts in this house.

😂😂

We'd never spent time in the same room together if we didn't fart in front of each other!!

Farts are funny. Its just a fact. If you can't fart in the comfort of your own home, then where can you?!

I don't find farts remotely amusing.

Don't get me wrong, I have a very questionable sense of humour which some people would find highly offensive and I stupidly laugh when people fall down😂. Farts and loos? not really.

Wow. After a lifetime of digestive problems, I've had to explain to everyone I've ever lived with that I will likely fart more than them some days. I don't deliberately do it, but sometimes there's no choice or I'd simply never be in the same room as anyone else. Also, when you've struggled all day at work not to, it's nice to relax at home.

Dh and dds all fart when at home too but never in company or when out and about.

We are the same. Never have, never will. Never been with a man who did it or who thought the topic was humorous.

I’m with you. I’ve never been one of those people who freely let rip when others, and god forbid, a partner, is in the vicinity. I won’t accept it from them either (not deliberate ones). I’m not the type to go to the loo accompanied by another adult either, which I know couples and mates do. It was how I was brought up.

My eldest is now in his late 40’s and has never passed wind in front of any of us except for when he was a young teenager and he’d break wind then light it with a match just for the fun of it.

And come to think of it none of the rest of my children really do it in front of each other either.

I will admit to doing such an awful one in bed one night when unwell that it scared my husband so much he sat bolt upright in bed and tried to shoot it with imaginary guns made from his thumb and forefinger whilst shouting who’s there.

I’m not impressed when the dog does it, I’d be a lot less impressed by another adult doing it and an absolute no to a partner doing it deliberately. My 20yr does sometimes but I always say for god’s sake …. do you have to do that!

Agree. Every man I've ever been with has been similarly discreet.

Imagine not finding farts funny. You have the same amount of farts in your life but less fun.

It’s not so much in your own home it’s in front of people. I just can’t do it in front of other people, not even my own kids.

I could never do that in a million years but as long as you both find it funny then it doesn’t matter, at least no one’s getting offended.

Personally I couldn’t stay attracted to someone who freely farted regardless, for the laughs. It would be disrespectful for me but I know not everyone is the same.

I fart in front of him I'd get really bad belly ache if I had to hold them in! Even farted on him before 😂

We're a free farting house, I have digestive issues and couldn't live with someone if I had to leave the room every time. Some days I'm extremely gassy, others not at all, very rarely smell though. A few years ago I had a mirena coil put in and for some reason this gave me excess violent wind every single day, it was a nightmare. I'd be sitting at work clenching while my bowel made terrible noises and the farts were hammering on the back door demanding to be let out. No chance of letting a silent one out as they were always long and loud, so I was constantly leaving the room to let rip otherwise I was in terrible pain, fortunately no smell. No idea what caused all the excess gas but it gradually stopped once the coil was removed. I could not have coped not feeling able to fart freely at home!
