Get real. It's not about being "yourself" or keeping it real. Somethings are not to be done in front of people.
Why don't you just change your tampon in front of him, too? I farted on accident in front of my SO once, and I was mortified. Do you tell your kids its okay to fart in front of people or to let one rip? |

Dh and I burp, fart and pee in front of each other. He would prefer that I didn't, but feels free to let 'er rip, so as long as he has the double standard, I'm not holding back.
As for our kids, they are toddlers and my DD takes great delight in farting. Sometimes I mistake hers for Dh's because they are so loud. We all laugh. It's a natural bodily function. As they get older we'll teach them that it's more of a private thing to do at home and to day excuse me, but for now - who really cares? |

It's different about farting in front of "people" - most of us can keep it contained during casual contact - but marriage is SO intimate that I think it's going to be very challenging to always avoid farting in front of each other. Life is hectic and crazy enough without having to run away to fart all the time. |

| I try not to be uptight or a prude, but was taught at an early age that passing gas, burping and other bodily functions are considered rude, and should not be deliberately done around others. If I do, I say excuse me. My husband and I both retreat to the bathroom alone, with doors closed to take care of business. I don't want to see what he's doing and vice versa. Just me, but I wouldn't be comfortable with a man who felt free to let it rip at any time, or barge in on me in the bathroom. Besides - really, the smell of gas is obnoxious, and I deal with enough of that from diapers. Those who can mobilize themselves to the bathroom in my house, do. |

Oh, I do that too. In addition to farting, I had a terribly painful recovery from my c-section. I could not even bend to change my disgusting bloody diaper/pad, my wonderful husband changed that and cleaned me up. My DH is also a volenteer EMT, so he has seen and done it all, he is not grossed out by the human condition. We also have a very experimental and open sex life and I think that has a lot to do with the fact that we are not hung up on our bodies. And YES of COURSE I tell my kids to let out their farts!!! Good grief, who would want such a stomach ache??? It is extremely uncomfortable to hold a fart in all day. Being mortified with farting is a cultural hang up. There are pleanty of cultures where farting is as normal and natural as breathing. |

I can't help but think its weird if you DONT fart in front of your husband. how uncomfortable to have to live without being able to fart freely in your house. we joke about it, but even without the joking there are times when your tummy just doesn't feel well, and you have to fart. i would never want to have to hide from my husband during those days. peeing is also done freely. pooping we are semi-private. we don't stand there talking to each other, but if for some reason one of us needs to get something out of the bathroom when the other is doing their business its ok to walk in and then quickly exit. and both me and my husband have had food poisoning and have taken care of each other while both ends were "in trouble."

| not to take over the thread but I once got in the elevator at work and farted. it was a bad one. Our CEO got on with me on the next stop. I just about died from holding in the laughter. And he was just chatting away to me. I got off one floor later and doubled over. |

To each his own, but yes I do think it extremely strange not to have that level of comfort with your spouse. I think it also boils down to what kind of person you are and how comfortable you are with yourself. I would bet that the farters have no problem with being nude either. I figure one day either I will have to physically care for DH or he for me at least we are comfortable with each other in any capacity. |

| Farting used to be my husband's domain (not that I didn't, I was just... quiet), but now that I'm pregnant I'm totally challenging him for the crown. If we're having intestinal issues (ie, know the fart will be stinky), we obviously try to keep the farts at a safe distance - but most of the time, it's all noise and no stink, and that's just funny. To us. In the privacy of our home. Out and about, we're both much more stealth about it. |

| This thread is reminding me of the episode of SATC when one of the women wouldn't poop at her boyfriend's apartment. I am all for privacy and keeping the door closed, but if I need to go, I need to go. Anyone who would dump (heee) me for being a human being with human bodily functions is not someone I want to keep around. I've also heard women say they won't poop at work or in other non-home bathrooms - I would be miserable! It's not like I have some crazy diarrhea problem, but I'm a pretty regular, fiber- and coffee-loving, gal and "holding it" unnecessarily just seems painful and not good for my body! |

Yep, we fart in front of each other. Ha! Since my c-section, I've been even more gassy. If I left every time I had to fart, I'd never see my DH!
We're pretty private about the pooping. DH will pee in front of me, but honestly, I'd prefer to pee in private. |
