do you fart in front of your husband?

[Anonymous]

a friend of mine shared with me that she was mortified over the fact that she fell asleep on the couch, and might have farted while her husband was sitting next to her. she said they NEVER do that in front of each other, and also always use the bathroom alone with the door closed.

yeah. my husband and I fart away, and will chat while peeing. (not pooping though.)

are we the anomoly?

gross. i don't want to see my wife pee, poop, fart, anything. we use separate bathrooms too. i had an ex-gf queef (spelling?) on me once when I was going south with the mouth. never saw her again.

need to keep some things a mystery.

I have to say we do all of the above in front of each other. I try not to pass gas around anyone, including my husband, but if it happens, it happens. He has no such concern for what he does, mind you. Sometimes I do get a bit irritated and will close the door when he is pooping. I tend to like poop privacy too. I have no issues with peeing in front of each other. Actually, I cannot believe I am writing this.

here's the thing -- I like to keep romance alive. I don't think I could get all romantic after seeing my man poop...and I don't think that is prudish. It's just fact for me.

I try not to, but if it inadvertently happened (particularly if I were asleep, for god's sake!), I wouldn't be fretting over it. She sounds like she's pretty tightly wound.

My husband farts so much in front of me...well, that's a different subject.

Same here. And all bathroom stuff, stays behond closed bathroom doors. Ocassionally, DH will pee while I am in the shower but I cant see him and he knows I dont like it.

Did you keep childbirth private too? I know that causes people to poop...

Not only do I fart, but I've been known to do a dutch oven on him. Of course, the retribution is pretty awful, but sometimes, totally worth it.

I fart in front of my husband all the time. He never does! It's normal bodily function. I suppose I can understand it turning someone off if it happens during sex...but otherwise, just let it go. It's unhealthy to hold it in. I mean, if you are with a bunch of people I can understand not doing it too...but your spouse...well, I believe that is stuff you should be totally comfortable doing. I have had to put up with my friends doing it for years around me...so I guess it just doesn't bother me anymore!

Why do you marry someone if you can't be yourself?
DH and I don't keep anything private and we've never been more in love with each other before. We want to grow old together and things like that happen and it's part of being human and it only gets worse. First is a fart and soon the baldness, then the teeth start falling and it's downhill from there. Will you keep it all a secret? What if something happens and you have to care for your partner in bed? The whole process of acceptance will be affected just because you kept things private in the past. Oh wait, you'll hire a nurse, I forgot.
Anyway, we walk around the house naked and the next discussion in our list is how to deal with it now that DS is growing. Well, let's see...

I fell asleep on the couch once and farted myself awake a couple of times. My husband was sitting there with me watching a football game. He thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen and still laughs about it years later. I also think it's hilarious, because it's something I'm "supposed" to be embarrassed about, but am not.

We both *try* to keep our bodily functions to a polite minimum around each other, but it's no big deal if something slips. Excretory functions involving toilets are closed-door activities, though. I'm fine with that. If we're still married to each other when we're old and incontinent, we'll see plenty of each other's bathroom functions.

Yeah, you kind of have to accept farting in front of each other if you are married. What if you are on a car ride? Not like you can run to the bathroom if you have to fart.

It's exhausting trying to pretend you're not a real live biological creature in the name of "allure". Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for, for example, closing the door when you pee, and making some effort to dispose of your farts privately. But, you also have to be willing to accept that farts are a part of life.

Very sad about the poster who dumped his GF because she farted. Is this opne of the same guys who would cheat on an untrimmed bush? Shallow!

Yes, me too - and I laugh hard about it, in front of him.
