How do you handle farting in your relationship

[Anonymous]

My father left his his wife and one of his chief complaints was that she made him get up in the middle of the night to go fart in the bathroom.

We both fart all the time in front of each other, and laugh about it.

I like to fart and have my DH walk into the smell. He traps me under the covers.

10+ years and going strong...but sense of smell fading fast.

You sound very classy.

No she sounds fun. You sound like a prude. How can you marry someone and not be comfortable around them doing normal human things. Guess what?? My husband sees me naked sometimes too, and *gasp* is aware that I poop too!

I would lose all sexual attraction if I hear DH fart.
He respects me enough to not do that.

So, your respect is tied up in your sphincter?

we laugh about it! Seriously farting can't ruin relationships/ attraction.... it may be a justification you give but love is love

I guess we're in the middle. We don't crack up laughing about farting, and we try to avoid doing it when we can. Still, it happens and when it does we try to either laugh it off or not make a federal case out of it. Agree with the previous poster who said she and DH warn eachother if it's a silent/deadly type.

I don't like it when DH farts -- I think it's gross. When I do it, though, it is rather cute.

Best response of the thread.

People who can fart in front of each other have a stronger relationship than people who can't. If you can't, then it's time to start questioning yourself and your marriage. And people who say "I would lose attraction to my DH/DW if they farted" are full of it. The attraction can't be very strong to start if that's all it takes to kill it.

Does he fart?

This is so weird. Our whole family happily farts away while at home.

My father left my mother and the chief complaint was that she farted in bed and he was turned off and felt she should show some courtesy.

It's a matter of giving a bit of extra courtesy to your spouse by not farting.
It doesn't take long to go to the bathroom.

We do try not to fart at the table, but that rule left with a pair of DS. One night, honest to God, we had a chorus...I know, "very classy", but laughter is a strong glue for friendship and love.

+1. My relationship is the same way, refreshing to see we're not the only ones. I'm not judging others who aren't comfortable with it, but with so many things to worry about these days, we don't get too caught up stressing about a bodily function.

If your love or sexual attraction is threatened by farts, then I feel sorry for you, but to each their own.

lol.

Love this thread.

I try not to fart around my partner and he does the same. If I'm at his place I'll go into the bathroom to fart quietly or, if I don't think I have the muscle control to eke it out that way, I'll contrive a reason to walk out to my car and let it rip

But still, the best part about leaving for work in the mornings is letting out all the pent up gas! No idea how he handles it but we are 8mo in and haven't heard each other yet.

Agreed. It also helps build stronger relationships with your boss and co-workers. If you can't, I suggest questioning your occupation. The workday is long and you deserve uninhibited happy farting.
