Do you?

Alright, so I don't really know the politically correct way to say this, so I'm just going to say it...

...do you ever fart in front of your significant other?

I know some people that would say they never do and some that say "hell yes I do!" 

Totally random, just want to know everyone's stance on this private matter.

Re: Do you?

  • LOL

    Welllllll.....I have to say that H & I do our best to follow the basic rules of decency, however, to say that in the 10 years we've been together that we've successfully kept all of our bodily functions to ourselves would be a lie. I can't imagine us going through our entire lives keeping to ourselves either - eventually something will slip. If and when it does happen, we just kind of pretend that it didn't then blame it on the duck running around in the house. That is all. 

  • Yup, often times as we are falling asleep spooning.  And,then I tell him to hold me tighter, which he does.  Thats how I know it is true love.  Wink
  • Yeah we do... although mine is more on accident and his is just all the time. Lets one rip every morning before even opening his eyes and just grins. Never fails. It's great, wouldn't have it any other way. 
  • Yes.  We also poop with the door open and continue our conversations.

    I know there are people who swear you need to maintain some mystery but I can't fathom having to watch how I behave in front of my husband.  Plus once they've seen you poop on the delivery table, rip in half and shoot a placenta halfway across the room, really what is there left to hide?

    Same for us except for the delivery part. There are times when we want privacy when the other is around. We are just very comfortable with each other after all these years. We do respect others and hold it in when around other people.

  • We don't but we've only been married 2 yrs so I don't know if we will later on.

    If we're sleeping and it can't be controlled, it's different but we prefer to leave the room, we don't go to bathroom in front of each other either, there should be some privacy in our opinion.

  • If I'm standing, then I generally try to walk into the other room - but if we're on the couch, watching TV, then it's whatever.

    Yes, it's gross and it smells but it's a bodily function that we all deal with. Like PP said, I just want to be myself in front of my H. 
  • Yeah we have no shame.

  • Please believe me when I say, if you feel you

    can't fart or burp once in a while in front of your

    partner,  there is something very wrong with that

    relationship.

    So, my answer is yes!

  • H lets them rip all the time. I try not to in front of him, though I know I do when I sleep.

    Oh man, does that really happen?!?!?! UGH!

  • yep...I'm lactose intolerent but love cheese (and icecream) so its going to happen...why bother trying to pretend it doesnt. H tends to be full of gas before going to bed...we laugh about it and move on. (We also leave the bathroom door open but don't "look" if that makes sence.)

  • Yes we do.  All of the time.  We actually talk about how we are glad we can be that comfortable with one another.

    Totally agree! We don't mind any of this stuff. I've actually been known to give DH hugs when he's in the bathroom, because he can be in there for a while.  Big Smile

    Yes.  It does.  You will worry about it the entire pregnancy.  Then it will happen and you won't care because you will be too busy screaming "Get this motherflucking kid out of me NOW!" to ever realize you pooped.  :)

    Can I just say that since learning in HS child development that that is a thing that happens during childbirth (the whole pooing on the table) I have had mad anxiety about childbirth. When I was told i had a tilted uterus and would likely have to have C sections I wanted to high five the doctor because that meant I could skip that whole thing. Just a funny thing to add on to that.

    Also, this made me laugh out loud

  • Yes! I remember the first time DH farted in front of me - it was Thanksgiving and after dinner we were laying together when she let out a HUGE fart. She was so embarrassed!!! To this day it cracks me up. I took a lot longer to start farting in front of her, I don't remember when but I remember she used to tease me that I never did and she wanted to hear it. We're silly (and have NO shame!) :-)

  • this is one of the best parts of being married, IMHO.  hahaha  DH is the only person i have done this in front of on purpose.  it is a source of constant hilarity in our household.
  • We actually do not, and its not a matter of being uncomfortable around each other. Even around our own families we are not open about that.  Door Open policy is not an option, I don't want to hear him using the bathroom, and I am pretty sure he doesn't want to hear me either. As for on the couch or when we are along, he NEVER does. Which was a little weird at first because I had a brother that was quite the opposite.
  • me and my h also poop with the door open but for some reason he doesnt want me to look his way when hes doing so lol.... my hubbie has never hid his gassy moments although i just started feeling comfortable letting one rip i front of him we just laugh about and move on with our day,,,,,,,,,,,,,,its called uncondiotional love
  • we do,whats good for the goose is good for the gander. its something everyone does. lol he still says things like...you burnt off all my leg hair with that fart, but then we have been together for almost 7 years only married almost 3 weeks.
