To think it’s polite not to pass wind/fart around people, including spouses?

[ServingMHissues]

Me and my Dsis are having a debate since I, have mentioned that me nor DH tend to pass wind around eachother and never have. We’ve been together 11 years and have two kids. We’re very comfortable with eachother and he’s definitely heard me do it because I strictly remember one Halloween he was passing me decorations to put up and my heavily pregnant body just couldn’t hold it in 🤣

but Dsis thinks we’re weird and it’s weird for a couple not to fart around eachother. I personally think it’s just polite not to if you don’t absolutely need to, you can excuse yourself from the room/area. Maybe it’s because I used to get really annoyed at an ex who would fart constantly and they would smell absolutely foul and would make me feel physically ill. But I just wouldn’t want to make someone smell my gas 🤣

AIBU to think it’s not that weird to just not fart around your spouses?!🤣

We don’t, but it has happened by accident and when it just can’t be held. It’s not really something we find funny and do regularly

We do fart in front of each other, if they start getting out of hand then we say to
each other that they’ve reached their limit and we then fart less when the other is around. However we do have fart amnesties if I’ve eaten chickpeas and more recently too many onions or if my DH has overdone the chillies. Then anything goes.

We both fart in front of each other, not as a joke but just as it happens.
I love him anyway but its one of the plus points about being in a relationship with my dp.
I can't imagine being with someone and having to hide a fart. No offence to those that do hide it, I just couldn't go from just letting it go to having to hold it in until I could do it discreetly.

In a room full of people who all speak different languages and don’t understand each other, a cheeky squeaky fart would have everyone sniggering. It’s a joke that everyone can share, celebrate it! 💨

My partner and I both find farts funny so happily toot away in front of each other but even if we didn’t find it amusing I wouldn’t want to be with someone I couldn’t let rip in front of, in all senses of the word. I fart in front of good friends too.

I thought it would be funny to fart in bed when I had only been with my husband about 4 weeks. Unfortunately I had a sickness bug and shat myself

Same, as a cancer survivor, this isn't even on my radar.

Farters at home,unless we have visitors. Never at work.

Personally I don't find it possible to control all my farts so it just happens when it happens. We don't do it deliberately and don't make a joke of it, we just pretend it never happened.

In front of partner yep we trump, but anyone else really try not to.

@DreamyBalonz this is golden, you’re my hero 🤣🤣🤣

We’re a farting family, and rather than teaching our DD not to fart, I’ve taught her to blame her farts on daddy 🤣.

And on a related note I have also accidentally soiled my pants, in view of DP, after a bad Chinese…so I hardly think the occasional trump matters after that 😅😂

I had stoma reversal surgery last October and now probably fart at least 20 times a day. After four surgeries, chemo and sepsis I’m just glad to be alive.

I agree with you. It is really disrespectful.

I don't think it's humanly possible to never pass wind in front of someone you live with.

I think it's rude to squeeze one out on purpose and if you have to force it you could probably hold it in until you're out of bounds of others, but I mean sometimes you bend and it just happens, and I don't think it's shameful, just politely apologise and crack on with life.

One of my memories from primary school was a boy in my class letting rip. A proper bubbler it was. We all laughed, and the teacher scolded him and made him go to the loo to wash his hands... which made no sense to me, and I still think about it now.

Me and DH both have bowel problems and we fart in front of each other more than we talk to each other some days. “It’s just polite not to” isn’t an option for some people.

Farting is natural. I have IBS. I fart. I’d love not to need to but I do. DH farts. Don’t care unless they stink. My kids have grown up with a fatty mum. I say excuse me and we all carry on.

My DH was my fourth long term relationship and the first man to fart in front of me. I hated it but thankfully it stopped when our DCs became teens, as they started to voice their disapproval too!

Farting is like one step removed from a poo, and I don’t think anyone does that in front of their partner!

I wouldn't mind so much but my husband seems to fart relentlessly and I f**king hate it. Because it's approximately every minute - can't be normal can it? Despite me telling him I hate it because it's all the bloody time, he carries on. Amazingly he can do it quietly or keep them in around friends.

The moment I knew my DH was the man for me was when he perfectly timed a fart for comic effect whilst we were out on a scenic country walk.

I don't know how people need to go and then can hold it in until they get to another room! Mine would disappear and would end up with painful trapped wind like I do after work.

It seems in much older age you don't always have control say you may become farters 😆

Ooh this is a very interesting one. I have heard my DH fart (I’m not kidding) about 5 times in our entire relationship, 11.5 years now. It’s very nice of him but also, he just doesn’t need to fart, so it’s not that much of a challenge for him to be this polite. He has got really annoyed with me in the past for farting near him, or even when I thought I was alone and safe to do so and he walks into the room. It’s not like I wanted to fart in front of him or found it hilarious, I just needed to fart all the freakin time, and when I was at home I would have had to leave the room honestly every five minutes if he wanted a no-fart policy. However, I have solved my massive farting problem and I am thrilled! I realised it was bread and other wheaty products. My DH is celiac so I guess my tolerance for them had gone way down with eating the same foods as him mainly, apart from that pile of sh*te that is GF bread/cardboard. The moment I eat any proper bread, pizza, pasta etc I get farty again. So that has solved one problem in our relationship at least!

Have you never had fanny farts during or after sex?

I think it depends how gassy you are. For some it would mean constantly leaving the room.

16 years with my DH and the only time it's happened is accidentally when pregnant and him once in his sleep, both happy that we choose not to, my ex before that was the same, I'm comfortable around him, but that's just a no for us
