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 are feral. We fart in each other’s company all the time, my family are the same.
I mean there are occasions where we hold off, and await a more appropriate time / location e.g at the dinner table. In the car but otherwise we are firm believers in
‘Where ever you may be, let your wind be free’

I was at a funeral recently and a very audible, long, fart ricochet off wooden bench, filled the cathedral followed by ‘ Jesus Christ Glen’
It was so hard not to laugh.

If I never farted in front of DH we'd either hardly ever be in the same room or I'd blow up.

I have memories of being scolded for farting too. Being told to go to the toilet for farting was a common occurrence. It’s likely shame that’s been instilled in me 🤣

What I don't understand is why so many people are farting all the time. Most days I don't fart at all. Nor do other people fart around me thankfully. I'd be leaving the room if they did.

LOL!!!😂

How the fuck do you go to the bathroom every time you need one?

I mean come on most slip out because you are mid job - carrying something heavy, bending to grab something off the floor. Its not like you get 3 mins warning to sidle to the nearest loo, clenching like mad

Or maybe you do a LOT of clenching.

One of the many joys of being single is the ability to nonchalantly fart to your heart's content. Any time, any place, anywhere.

Maybe they're holding it in until you go home and then they let rip. like me

Does this include fanny farts..? 🤔

We all have bowel issues in our family so farting is just everyday common place for us. I have Crohn's, hubby and DS13 have IBS. As long as it's not a stinker fart away I say!

😂

These have a mind of their own and cannot be controlled.i have in fact queefed audibly while waiting for my therapy appointment last week, ironic right? No music in the waiting room.. and all of a sudden my vagina gave a little ‘pop’ and the bloke opposite me blinked in response. I know he heard it, but he was polite enough not to look at me directly 🤣

See this is why we need to be clear!!

Oh I am laughing at the bloke blinking at the 'pop'! 🤣🤣🤣

POP! 😱🫥

We trump in front of each other 🤷‍♀️ DH hates it if we get KFC though 😂 My farts are toxic then!

Farting is natural. The louder the better in my opinion. " fart walking " is a good way to let the gas out as well 😃
Just let 'em rip!!

Always blame the chair.

I have a friend who was on pea based protein shakes for a while. Her DH made her sleep downstairs!

This is why I remain single. Menopause destroyed my digestion. I wouldn't want to be around other people.
Being at work is painful enough.

I've neevr understood why farting in front of each other has become some type of measurement on relationships. I don't like farting and burping in front of others. Even spouses.

Farting is a perfectly normal and healthy bodily function, and while it's clearly not very nice to drop stink bombs at the dinner table, it's also perfectly ok to pass wind around family members occasionally.

If me and BF didn’t fart in front of each other we’d never see each other because someone would always be in the bathroom!! Chronic IBS sufferers with healthy diets!

Holding in farts isn't healthy so I don't do it. It's just a bodily function.

They are natural. At work and in company they need to be held in or let out silently

When ds was a teeny tiny baby, he lifted his left leg when doing one. As soon as he learnt he lifted his left leg and smiled. He is his father's son.

Some of us are more flatulent than others. I strongly recommend giving up wheat. I hardly fart now.

We call them trumps. Other names I have heard are bubbles, puffs, bottom burps, guffs. So childishly funny. So very natural so much easier to swallow a burp than hold in a fart.

I like the sentiment of "wherever you be, let your wind go free"

My ex and I were together for years. We didn't go out of our way to fart Infront of each other but we didn't hold it in either
I can't believe people who've been married for years never fart Infront of each other. How did you cope in childbirth? Maybe it was just me but I farted quite a lot in labour.

We called them fluffs, or blowing off.

I like seeing suggestions of what to say after doing one.... 'that is going to itch when it dries'... or 'a bit less choke next time'
