Poll: Passing gas in front of SO

evaporar

Ok, so I apologize if this is a bit TMI, but...How does everyone else deal with farting in front of SO? Does anyone have the "honor" of being the stinky one in the relationship?

I ask because until recently, I held in my gas when my DH was around, even though he did not. One day he asked me why I never farted in front of him, and said that I shouldn't worry about it because he wants me to be totally comfortable around him. The truth is, I was just trying to spare his nose from the pain, because I've always been a very gassy gal and my gas tends to silent but very, VERY deadly. Anyways, since then I have been more casual about letting loose, and he has been "blown away" (terrible pun intended) by my ability to clear the room. Be careful what you wish for, and all that.

So, do you and SO fart in front of each other? And are you a big stinker?

I'm guessing that I'm the stinky part of the duo. I do usually give him a warning before I toot since I never know if it's just going to be "musical" or if it's going to strip paint off the walls.

It also depends on location. Outside= no warning. Inside= warning. In the car= I try to do it before entering the car or hold it.

He really doesn't care about farts after seeing my placenta shoot out like a jelly fish.  Smell he can handle.

Apparently I'm bad enough that if I let one loose in public, everyone would give XH dirty looks, because obviously it must have come from the guy, rather than the dainty little girl. It used to seriously piss him off.

Pull my finger....ha ha! That reminds me!

Been married since Dec 2010 but we stilI hold in gas. I will usually say I have to go bathroom and I walk in there for a second and then come out, he does the same.

I voted 5/5. I have IBS, so depending on my stress it's pretty bad. I used to work a lot of extra hours and as a result I would wind up killing even my coworkers! I don't hold in unless I'm at work because it's not good for your bowels.

My SO pretends he doesn't pass gas, but I totally caught him one night after he, and only he, ate some broccoli! He still denies it.

I have IBS too and it's very difficult for me to hold it in, if I can at all. Although the potency of the smell is mostly dependent on what I've ingested, thankfully. I tend to eat very little and safer foods during work days so I lesson the chances of passing gas in front of clients. I just let go when I need to everywhere else with no shame.

My H has been passing gass in front of me for years. Most of the time his are killer. So bad we can't help but laugh as we both scramble to save our noses. He does well with holding his in so thankfully he's never embarrassed in front of others.

I always held in my "toots" around my guy until one day I accidentally let one rip! It wasn't smelly, but it was loud! There was no way around it really - I tried to say "...ummm...it was the bed!!!" but it didn't fly of course haha. We laughed about it - and from now on we are open.

He used to say "ear muffs" before he farted and would cover my ears, and he still says it now - but doesn't cover my ears hahah. I usually just warn him, but we definitely are open about those things!

It depends on what I eat- but DH needs a hazard warning thingy on his chest. LOL

We'll just let it rip around one another. It's no big deal. It's just a natural bodily function.

My H and I are the same way.

This is actually an awesome post because this is how I knew my husband and I were meant for each other. One night after we had been dating for about a month, I farted in my sleep so loud that it woke me up, but of course I pretended to keep sleeping to spare my embarrassment. He was still awake reading and instead of being completely grossed out, he just let out this big sigh and farted right back at me. I know it sounds weird but I couldn't help but fall more in love with him for accepting my gassy sleep bombs haha

Hahaha...DH and I talk about this a lot.  Sometimes I hold them in when I'm sure they'll be very deadly, but otherwise we let them rip.  No shame in our house.
