How do you handle farting in your relationship

We generally try not to fart loudly in front of each other or where the smell might bother the other person. I am worse than DH on this! But not a deal-breaker either way and DH will laugh about it if I can't hold it in.

Funny story, DH told me this morning that he farted in the kitchen with my toddler daughter and she said "uh oh, Daddy, diaper? diaper?" Made me laugh so hard.

I wonder if there is a correlation between income and farting in front of spouse.
I bet lower income earners fart in front of their spouse more.

+1. But probably the causal variable for both is education level.

We fart. We laugh. We love.

It works for us.

This is asinine.

I do not see it that way....I think it correlates to household chores. The more household chores the DH does, the less likely I am to fart in his presence.

We both have advanced degrees and let it rip.

Married for nearly 20 years. I've never farted on purpose in front of my DH. I take to the guestroom if I'm gassy to spare him the indignity.

I'm really embarrassed about these kind of things.

Us too. We also have HHI over $300k, and happily fart away (at home).

Absolutely, I was going to post the same thing.

You may be in the minority.
I am sorry your spouse won't make the effort to go to the bathroom to fart.
I am sorry there is no mutual respect.

I thought this was such a stupid thread. Then I read it and it is quite hilarious!

Here is my answer and it is sure to evoke some anger.

I am first generation American man. Because of the macho culture, I believe I can fart anywhere, anytime. DW must hold it in. (But sometimes she slips, so I beat her)

All true, except the last part. I give her a playful dirty look though.

Anybody who farts or belches loudly in my household has to say "excuse me." I try not to do those things in front of DH and he, in turn, dies it whenever he wants to. My family and kids are like me, his dad is like him. I blame his dad.
