Poll - Maybe TMI - Its slow - sue me

andy71781 · December 2010

Do you fart/pass gass/ flatulate in front of your husband?

Does he in front of you?

I typically don't and I did last night and I'm still embarrased about it. My feminist ideals are telling me that's crazy. What do you think?

Nebb · December 2010

we do, and we both think its hilarious.

louisvillebride21 · December 2010

I don't and neither does he. We have a few times when we're sick though but we don't get embarrassed about that. Unfortunately, we're both sleep farters, so...

mica178 · December 2010

I don't. But I also don't like farting in front of anyone, so H is not "special" in that respect.

[Deleted User] · December 2010

I don't. I can't even pee in front of him, I get self-conscious. H only does if by accident.

However, I feel really sorry for the girl who ends up with my little brother. He'll fart either on you or right next to you then rate it based on how bad it smells.

aMrsin09 · December 2010

No.
I'm one of those that doesn't burb or belch. Ever. The one time I did actually pass gas in front of H, he was more concerned if anything was wrong with my stomach.

ETA: H will burb/fart in front of me, but he only does it when we're in Perth. The water there is something terrible.

mandapanda78 · December 2010

I think we both try not to in front of each other, but accidents happen and then it's no big deal. Except once when we were camping and he farted in the tent and it gave me a horrible case of the giggles. I burp with pride, though. To which he usually responds "classy".

The Mel and Todd Show · December 2010

I don't burp or fart in front of others. I don't think it's appropriate. If something slips out, I excuse myself.

He does it in front of me. I really don't care as long as we're at home, but I would be mortified if he behaved that way in public.

akhensley81 · December 2010

Burp, fart, you name it. It's like a contest for us. Haha.

andy71781 · December 2010

See mine has no problem with it and thinks its funny. He's seriously a five year old. I have no problem burping in front of him though.

Such interesting bodies we have. :-)

FutureMrsFezz · December 2010

Yes we do in front of eachother. I didn't for a while. But he always did.

[Deleted User] · December 2010

My FI thinks farting is hysterical, but God forbid someone burps...

FutureMrsTR · December 2010

We try not to (like others have said, I try not to fart in front of anyone). Sometimes accidents happen, but we usually uncomfortably ignore it, haha.

I don't burp out loud. Not on purpose, it just doesn't happen. He burps in front of me, but always says excuse me and it's never an on-purpose-look-what-I-can-do kind of thing.

cengle · December 2010

Yeah, we both do. But I think we have issues with boundaries--as in, we have none.

aleighk1 · December 2010

We both do. But, he is the only person I've ever been able to fart around and it took me a long time to be able to.

Denise91980 · December 2010

DH is a huge culprit...not so much the burping, but the farting and it is nasty. Poor Pumpkin sleeps under our covers and gets dutch ovened out of the covers sometimes gasping for air...He is so bad that his fart made an appearance in my dream and woke me up. I will admit, if I have to I will, but I am more of a belching culprit and he hates it.

emilyinchile · December 2010

If it's one of those little quiet burps or a quiet/not-smelly fart then I do it in front of him, and he doesn't realize. And there's been the occasional accident where what I think is going to be a silent little burp turns into a belch, at which point I say excuse me like I would in front of anyone else. I'm not paranoid about it, I just don't see why I should subject my husband to something I wouldn't want to subject anyone else to, so I try to avoid it.

He on the other hand is a champion farter, and it's awful, and I hate him. He will try to go in another room, but apparently it makes him feel sick to his stomach to wait all of 5 seconds, so I have been a victim many times.

yeah...gotta agree with Nebb on this one. We're class acts.

LoveMuffins · December 2010

I do and then pretend I didn't, or blame it on him or our neighbors (but in a faux-serious way so that he knows i'm joking) and then when he tries to get me to admit that it was me I act totally Scarlett O'hara shocked and insist that "Girl's can't. You must be hearing things."

It drives him nuts but also amuses the heck out of him.

noodle_oo · December 2010

Yes, we both do. You can't really control it, can you? But like others said, we have no boundaries with each other. We don't close the bathroom doors at home unless there are guests in the house and yeah, we'll do pretty much anything in front of each other. I think being comfortable enough to be this open with each other is a great thing about our relationship. How do you live with someone and hide these things?

emilyinchile · December 2010

Maybe I'm a prude, but I don't see why farting or burping is funny. Never have, probably never will.

I don't think it's awful or scandalous, it's just not humorous to me either.

The same way I don't put my makeup on in front of him or let him see me wrangling myself into a pair of stockings before we go out.
Need to keep some of the mystery there.

Ditto. And I don't see how if we don't go to the bathroom with the door open we don't have a good relationship. I don't think those things necessarily go together.

That was a lot of negatives in two sentences.

KentuckyKate · December 2010

My friend and I had this discussion recently, and she came to the conclusion that I have skewed boundaries. I have no problem farting or burping in front of him, but I would never scratch my crotch in front of him even over jeans, or pee with the door open. I also wrap my tampon applicators or panty liners in TP before putting them into the trash can. (Those were some of the other things my friend and I talked about. TMI has a negative correlation with wine consumption.)

emilyinchile · December 2010

We pee in front of each other, so it's not like we're super secret about boundaries. It's not a question of "hiding" things.

It's just a question of in the same way that I excuse myself if I'm with friends and feel a massive fart coming on, I go to the bathroom at home. Like I said, if it happens in front of H, it happens, and I don't care, I just think it's nicer not to make the people I care about sit through things that I think are kind of gross.

same here. bathroom door is only ever closed for poop or if its TOM. We have no boundaries but it works for us, were comfortable this way.

Nebb - this is what I was kind of referring to. Looking at it again, I misread that first sentence and thought she was implying that being so open was the great thing about relationships in general. My bad.

Snippylynn · December 2010

Well, I try not to fart, but honestly, I just can't all the time. I don't have a gall bladder, and my stomach does bad things sometimes. It's not predictable. Like, last night, I was sitting on the sofa, and was moving to the chaise side. All I did was go from a sitting up position to a half reclined and WHAM. Giant, loud fart. H doesn't "like" it perse, but there's really not much I can do when that happens.

He does burp fairly often, especially when I'm snuggling him. But we don't go to the bathroom in front of each other, and I definitely don't let him see used feminine products. Ew.

mandapanda78 · December 2010

Peeing or pooping, it doesn't matter: the door is CLOSED and I hate when Mr Panda tries to talk to me through the door. This is private time. Go away.
