Do you Fart/Toot around your SO?

lilahbean13

I saw this on another board it's got me rather curious...

nesenotes

We've been married almost 9 years so hell yes. Technically I farted on our first date. It wasn't on purpose and I was mortified.

lilahbean13

@nesenotes OMG I would have DIED!!! Did it bother him??

I did it in my sleep when I was pregnant and cried for like an hour when he told me the next day. I was so embarrassed.

LOL! This happened to me to! It wasn't our first date but it happened during the first couple weeks we had been dating. We were watching a movie at my house and it just slipped out! I was mortified and hoping he didn't hear it. But he did and he turned to me, smiled and said "well, excuse you". OMG I wanted to die on the spot. 

We still laugh about it though so at least it made for a funny story.

@lilahbean13 apparently not he called me and still liked me anyway lol. It just made for a funny story. He is pretty down to earth when it comes to bodily functions though. I just try to not be downright nasty about it.

According to my husband, he never heard a woman fart or belch until he moved to North America.  I think he didn't hang out with a lot of girls when he was in high school, lol.

 

But yes, we are way past the point in our relationship where I feel embarrassed if I let out a fart, but I don't do it on purpose.

Let it rip baby

KarmB

Of course. There's no point in hiding if

I let it rip! We even talk to each other while pooping! We really have no boundaries!

breannie

Absolutely!

Nope. He is weird about it. I am 100% fine with not having to hear/smell his, and I am pretty good at being discreet with mine, so I prefer it that way. However, when he does let one slip and I laugh, he gets mad like a little kid. I wish he were a little less uptight about it!

Majority of our conversations are on the toilet. Its the only time we dont have kid ears around eavesdropping.

Liiiiiike he is in the bathroom no door between y'all while you poo?? You brave woman lol

snickersforeveryone

Nope. I'm a repressed sort of 50's style woman when it comes to bodily functions. He's never seen me poop or pee, has only seen me sit on the toilet in dire medical situations where he had to help me get there, and I never purposefully pass gas in front of him. His family, on the other hand, toots on the reg and says, "better out than in!" I'm so embarrassed every time they do!

I learned early in our marriage that the only time to have DH's full attention for 10-15 minutes is to catch him in the bathroom lol! I think we held it in for all of 2 months of dating and after that it was fair game!

I think they are hilarious. One time I laid one in the bed before my husband came in the room. I told him to cuddle under the blankets with me. He was SO mad when I told him I laid one. LOL.

I can't.  I just can't do it.  My H has no issue doing it in front of me but that's just something I need to keep private.  I wouldn't even let him in the bathroom with me at the hospital when I was having contractions, really needed to use the bathroom, and could barely walk.  I know that what he saw when Henry was actually being born was much worse, but in my mind that is completely different.

I know that we haven't been together as long as some of you ladies have been with your H's/SOs but even with my ex (we were together 10 years) I still couldn't do it.

*Gives you the book "Everything poops" but crosses out poops and changes it so it says "Everything Farts" *

Yall I still turn the water on when I pee so he can't hear me lol NO way I have the balls to toot in front of him. I am getting embarrassed thinking about it haha

We don't fart in front of each other or discuss our other bathroom habits.  We both feel life is just more pleasant and nice without it and made a conscience decision to let what happens in the bathroom stay in the bathroom.  Honestly, what's the big deal, you have gas, you excuse yourself to the restroom.  We've been living together for years, so the bloom is definitely off the rose, but it's just common courtesy in my mind, and it works for us! 

This is almost a complete 180 from our relationship!

My H will text me to tell me he's pooping and will sometimes tell me about how he's constipated or how last nights dinner is effecting him, etc.  Nearly everything is fair game.  He was courteous with the farting early on in our relationship and when I told him he wasn't stinky back then he claimed that he was extremely uncomfortable much of the time because of it!  I HATE when he has stinky farts but I honestly am most upset because he doesn't say "excuse me" a good deal of the time.  But really I don't want him to be that uncomfortable and I don't want to feel like I can't either.

Most of my flatulence is minor and I am not going to get up to walk across the apartment to let out a tiny little toot that doesn't even smell.  But then again also pee with the door open 99% of the time (if it's just us at home obviously).  I only close the door for #2 and when it's that time of the month.... he did help me at the hospital though and at home a few times when I needed help post-partum, so it's not like there are many secrets anyway. 

We talk about flatulence, bowl movements, regularity, constipation, probiotics, etc. a lot in our house... it's a regular topic of conversation.

LMAO!!!!!

Anything goes in our house really. I'm pretty open with this around family because of my Grandpa, he was a doctor and of the opinion that trying to hold it in was actually bad for the body. You've never experienced anything until you're in a small town with the town's doctor at the one restaurant that everyone else is at.... and he lifts a cheek right at the table and then burps. Yep, we're a gross lot. LOL I am much more polite in public though. Also, MH we think is lactose intolerant (although god forbid he actually go to a doctor to get it verified) and a big fan of cheese and ice cream. All I can hope is that the smell dissapates before it gets to me.
