Farting
*poof* 
Just curious as I have a friend that refuses to fart in front of her husband.
Do you fart in front of eachother?
Do you fart in front of his family?
Do you fart in front of your family?
Re: Farting
We fart in front of eachother...it happens and I'm not getting a stomach ache over it.
I do not fart in front of his family. When his brother lived with us I would accidently forget he was near and let one loose and be super embarrased.
I do not fart in front of my family. Something we've never done.
1. YES, constantly. Him more than me. He thinks his farts are hysterically funny but often tells me girls don't fart or poop. I like to prove him wrong.
2. If I desperately need to, I'll leave the room or make sure it's super silent.
3. I would, but I see them so rarely it's never really an issue.

We have restrictions on the farting though. No farting during cuddling or eating.
1. Yes - no issues whatsoever...and have been since like month 2 of dating. We're not the "reserved" type...
2. Yes in front of BILs and SIL and their kids (they all do as well, in front of us)...would refrain in front of his parents (but I know they'd just laugh it off)
3. Yep - again, no issues here
However, H's cousin and his wife have a no fart policy around each other. It's incredibly insane. She gets disgusted even if she hears it. Whatever.
I also had an ex-boyfriend whose mom told us one time that she got up like 25 times in the middle of the night because she refused to fart in front of her husband (and they've been married like 30 years)....seriously? WTF
We totally fart in front of each other. We think it's really funny.
I don't fart in front of his family, unless I know it's going to be silent and odorless. And they don't really fart around each other, either.
I have farted in front of my family, but we don't see each other often anymore due to distance. I don't think Alex would fart in front of my family.
1. No - explanation below.
2. No - Not really. Maybe I married into a family of aliens.
3. No - my family has no qualms about this though and they freely do it whenever.
I WISH he would fart but he just doesn't. He's absolutely not the type of person who would hold back either. I just have a NFH (non-farting husband). So of course this gives me a complex about it and I still have not audibly done it around him. We'll burp and belch all day long but ugh, nothing but SBDs. I do the sneaky pull one cheek to the side and let it go silently trick a lot.
yes, not too big of a deal
no, I would really try not to
sure, I know they do it freely.
Haha that seriously made me laugh out loud!
Yes - he does it all the time, I dont actively try not too but I prefer not to either.
No I wouldnt do it in front of his family.
I rarely see my family but if it happened, no big deal.

Married
Oh goodness yes, DH does it all the time. If he didnt, I think he'd explode. We've been open about it since we started dating, so Ive gotten used to it. I dont hide it from him either. We think its funny most of the time.
His parents will do it around us, and vice versa. They've always been pretty open about that kind of thing. Certain friends we will and certain friends we wont, it just depends who it is.
You would be a pro at kayaking! That's how they explained to us how to flip the kayak back over if you flip upside down...do your hip to the side like you're lifting a cheek (a la sneaky one cheek method)
No problem farting in front of each other
I don't think I'd fart in front of his parents, and I'd hesitate in front of his brothers.
My family, not a big deal.
**sidenote - yesterday I drove to work instead of taking the train because i had such bad gas. I couldn't deal with the thought of sitting on the El stinking it up with all those people crowded on their, the person next to me giving me the side eye
I am REALLY not a fan of farting. I just don't like potty talk in general (I don't mind potty humor when it's funny, but don't like getting/giving updates on bathroom activities)
We do fart in front of each other, but its rare. We don't actively try to hold it, but thankfully neither of us are big farters. If I do fart, he'll call me on it though.
We took a road trip over the weekend with one of DH's friends, and I could NOT believe how often he farted! It was terrible!
Best thing I have read all day. I know EXACTLY what you are talking about.
