Farting anywhere and everywhere

[Queserasera1]

Not sure if this is a relationship question. But is farting anywhere and everywhere normal? I know you can’t always predict it but surely if you can contain yourself elsewhere, you can do the same at home? Not talking about the odd fart just constant and anywhere even when the family are eating. Or do I have unrealistic expectations?

Oh dear. There must be an awful build-up 🤣

I fart a lot. I've been married twice and in several relationships and the worst part was the time from meeting to getting comfortable enough to fart in front of them. I would end up with terrible pains and bloating. So one of the reasons I have decided to stay single for the last sixteen years is exactly that. Everyone is different but those who suffer from a lot of wind need to be able to let it out. Luckily mine rarely smell, I would probably hold them in a lot more if they did.

Do they apologise?

If not I'd assume it was them being deliberately vile as some sort of power play. Like the abuse move when they do something wrong and you call it out and they make you feel like you're in the wrong for calling it out.

Well said 🙌🏼🙌🏼

I have just remembered that my mum used to tell me and my brothers off for farting, saying we should go to the bathroom to do it. That wasn't really practical as I would have spent half my life in there! 😅 Years later she had a number of health problems including kidney failure and was prescribed lactulose. Suddenly she was farting everywhere and had to admit that she hadn't understood that some people needed to fart more than she did in the past. We were doing a sign language class together and on one occasion she let one rip in front of the whole class! She was mortified but I don't think I have ever laughed so much. I think she was grateful that my unstoppable laughter with the going red in the face and struggling to breathe took the attention away from her!

Thank you. Will look into this.

I really tried having a conversation. I’m not bothered about the bedroom either. It’s more when we are eating etc. But I will look into food intolerance issues.

I guess the love is not real then.

This happened to me too, only realised the cause when I looked at the side effects. However I have recently had to use Boswellia Serrata for a weak ankle and it has gone... the only problem is I cannot take Boswellia long term as it can affect the liver... but three happy and silent months... woo hoo!

If farting is in any way a sign of love, or 'being able to accept someone', or respecting them, I'll eat my hat (although I'll probably get wind if I do). It's equally arguable that not farting in front of someone is a sign of love.

I used to work with this bloke who claimed he couldn't help farting and burping all the time.

Except he could. A manager had a word because it was becoming truly putrid to work round him - he asked him if he was on a date with a girl he really liked, would he be able to rein it in. He said of course he would. So he told him to treat work like a hot date lol.

Some people can't help it. It's why Whoopi Goldberg is called Whoopi.

Literally my life

😂

This! Can't believe the one who said farting is a sign of true love 😂😂 bet they shit while the other is in the shower too.

People who fart all over the place in other people's presence really anger me. We visited a family when I was young who used to all fart deliberately (lifting their legs or making a noise as they pushed it out) and would all say "Pardon me!" afterwards and I felt such rage and utter disgust.

Drinking a lot of fizzy drinks (the sort sold in cans) can be a factor.

I am lactose intolerant, if I slip up and eat something with even the smallest amount of lactose I am trumpy for days. It is bad enough holding that in and shuffling to the toilet at work, I am not putting myself through that discomfort at home too.

Good job DH is a body builder and eats a shit ton of protein so he is just as trumpy as me.

Medical conditions aside, it’s just not on. I rarely, if ever fart. I’ve been married for over 25 years and have never come even close to farting in front of my husband. He’d find it repulsive, which is somewhat ironic as he farts in front of me quite often. He says he can’t help it, but I note he wouldn’t do it in a board meeting or in mixed social company.

I find women farting even more revolting, if I’m honest. Terribly dated opinion, but there we are.

He shouldn't be dishing it out if he can't take it, disgusting.

It depends. Under normal circumstances, no, I wouldn't be impressed. However I had this happen to me - was so embarrassed and ignored the problem until the pain started and I ended up on the floor, screaming in agony, throwing up everywhere and TMI WARNING pooing myself quite badly. DW (Fiancée at the time, yes she still married me after this 😁) called an ambulance and I ended up having my gallbladder removed urgently.

Feel free to share my horror story. He'll either stop farting all the time or go to the GP (hopefully!)

Less of the animal slurs 🙄

Nothing wrong with letting them out occasionally.

It's uncessary to do this in front of others q accident yes but just don't care no my dh did this onc in public I was mortified I think he thought he was a joke when I mentioned it but I told him never do it this again in public

I’m a big kid and find the sound of farts funny. I’m also not easily grossed out so they don’t bother me at all.

There’s a time and a place, though. You wouldn’t catch me or my family purposely letting rip in the queue in Tesco, or in the canteen at work, but you might find us playing “guess my fart” at home if we’re being gross and immature.

I need to grow up.
