Not farting in front of DH

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?!

Why would anyone be less considerate of family than they are of strangers in the queue at Asda??

Being gross and uncouth isn't a sign of love, respect and intimacy. Quite the reverse.

Anything is only inconsiderate if the person you're married to finds it so.

The whole point of the thread is that some people happily fart in each other's company and find it funny or at the very least not noteworthy.

Grim.

When I was at uni, I shared a house with a few wet lipped ex-public school boys who loved to set light to their farts. I imagine them now as red-trouser wearing, gout prone 50 year olds that are still farting and still finding it hilarious.

My god, if any one of us left the room to fart, we'd never be in the same room. We are a very windy family and farts are hilarious. I farted during sex once and couldn't stop laughing.
Like pp, he's seen me give birth, a fart is nothing.

mmm your house must smell lovely! Have you thought about changing your diet if you need to fart that often?!

I let rip, but so does he. I'm puerile and find it hilarious.
On Valentine's morning I wanted coffee in bed so I farted loudly to wake him. up. When he only stirred, I farted again and that got him properly awake, and I got my coffee.

I bet he farted in your coffee on the way back to bed!!!

Well said. My 12 year old DS and his mates ceased to find farting funny when they left primary school.

God love you, they definitely do still find it funny.

It was one of those things that was not funny at the time (and isn’t for the people who end up permanently incontinent), but I can laugh about it now I know I’m out of the woods bum-wise for the time being. Frantically knocking on wood as I type this!

I’ve had to become VERY un-shy about bum appointments, talking to doctors and physios in depth about my poo and farts, learning about my poor troubled anal sphincter, having bits and bobs put up my bum etc. I know the Bristol stool chart so well I say ‘type 4’ immediately before they even show me if any medical professional starts a sentence with ‘so which type of…’ I’ll talk to anyone about my bum now. Husband, strangers on the internet, my dad, my boss, all my friends. I’m not sure they always want to hear about it, but if I have to live with it so do they 😏.

@Spudthespanner

believe it or not, not every male finds it’s funny.

And also some men find it a real turn off - I mean, they do smell of shit after all

@LuckySantangelo35

Her kids find it funny.
