"Passing gas" around so

Kelly, on February 11, 2020 at 5:21 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 2 29

So I’ll warn you in advance that this is waaaay TMI, but I just had to get some other perspectives here...How do you deal with farting around your SO, particularly if you have the “honor” of being the stinky one in the relationship?

Here’s the background: FH and I moved in together about four months ago. He had farted in my presence a few times before that, and once we started living together it became more frequent (which didn’t bother me, his are loud but usually odorless). One day he asked me why I never farted around him, and said that I shouldn't worry about it because he wants me to be totally comfortable around him. The truth is, I was just trying to spare his nose. I've always been a gassy gal, and my gas tends to silent but very, VERY deadly. Well, since then I’ve been more casual about letting loose, and he’s been “blown away” (terrible pun intended) by my ability to clear the room. Even though he still says he’s totally ok with it, that doesn’t always seem sincere when he’s struggling to breathe. Be careful what you wish for, and all that.

So anyways, I was curious about how many other ladies are big stinkers like me and how y’all deal with it around your SO.

    Aha my husband is the big stinker but I get a few in there that are bad and we just honestly joke around about it. What can ya do, aha. My husband takes it in a stride and is always like ahhh isn't that a nuanced scent.

    Hahaha, I’m in your boat. I’ve live with FH for three years and never farted in front of him until 7 months ago. He always asked why I didn’t before that. After I started, he told me he understood why I never did and thanked me😂

    We playfully fart on each other xD so it’s not a big deal. He’s the stinky one for sure, he farts and it smells like something died. But we just kinda laugh, give each other playful amounts of teasing for it, and move on.

    Oh gosh I tell my fiance all the time that his smell like something crawled up there and died 😂😂 I have a febreze spray bottle on my side of the bed to help me get through it. His always linger too! Sometimes for an hour! He can definitely clear a building. It's been a huge joke since the beginning of our relationship. It's always funny to everyone involved when he let's one out on a new person. The confused look of what just hit them is always hilarious. I love to hear other couples finding this stuff kind of funny too. Gotta have humor in the little things.

    Neither of us are overly gassy, but if something 'slips' we giggle, say excuse me and move on. We've lived together since 2011 so really nothing is overly embarrassing when it comes to bodily functions.

    I'm the stinky one and my fiance and I just laugh about it lol. We've been together for 9 years so there's really nothing to hide.

    Lol I've never farted in front of him but I know eventual I will. I joke about it all the time but I've never done it. He does it when he's with me all the time and like your FH his are loud and odorless for the most part. Idk if this will make you feel better but, scientifically, women's farts smell waaaaay worse than men's farts.

    I'm sure my FH is having similar thoughts! 😂 Good to know I'm not the only one.

    We're both stinky. It's a natural bodily function. When we were 1st dating, I would hide it because it's not lady like. After awhile, I stopped caring. This is my husband. He married me, stinky farts and all.

    Ah, so there's a scientific explanation! I've always wondered why FH and I can eat the same meal but I'm the only one that turns it into toxic gas. 😂

    I can knock a buzzard off a sh%& wagon most of the time with the smell. Thank goodness my husband loves me.

    I just want to know how people ever hold them in... I can't remember a time where I've ever NOT let it go around him when it's needed to come out lol.

    Omg, hilarious topic. I’ve never farted in front of anyone (except ONCE) but all the time w/ hubby. He let one slip out 6 months into dating and game on. But we got so bad we had to institute a “no farting in bed” rule after I kept complaining about his so once I let a bad one rip... and HE instituted the rule. Sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire. 🔥 😂

    Once you get past doing it it’s really not a big deal 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s a natural function, you can’t help if they’re stinky lol. My fiancé and I don’t really pay attention to this anymore, we just let em go lol. If it’s a bad one, just laugh it off and all will be fine.

    Buy him a bottle of Febreeze and put a bow on it. I have one by bed and bathroom. Thanks for the chuckle. I swear this is every relationship after your living together.

    Haha...I've never knowingly farted while in bed with FH but I'm sure it's happened in my sleep. I have to wonder how many times FH has woken up in a cloud of stink and never said anything about it. 😂
