"Passing gas" around so

I'm the stinky one, too. FH has always farted in front of me. He would ask why I wouldn't do it in front of him..and say just fart to me quite often. I told him I smelled really bad. He said he didn't care. Once in front of my daughter he told me to just fart. She told him that he did not want me to do that. Haha. I eventually did. It smelled. Now we just do it when we need to. I'm much happier and less uncomfortable now that I don't have to hold in my gas around him.

FH was never shy about farting around me. I think on our second date he did haha. And because of that, I'm comfortable farting around him. We've been together for almost 6 years and lived together almost 4 years, so now we don't even care. Mine can be really bad And we fart on each other to tick each other off all the time.

Hahahaha! This thread! When FH and I were first dating, we usually went out to eat and then I'd be at his house hanging out for HOURS in agony, just writhing in pain trying to hold those gas bombs in. He would tell me to let them go, but he NEVER farted. Not once. And I told him I couldn't do it until he did it first. We would joke about how every night I'd leave, my farts would jet propel my car home for me. Eventually he let one go and then it became fair game. I will never forget the first time I did it. I held his hand and said, "Look me in the eye" and when he did, I blasted away. He tried to let go of my hand but I gripped it really hard and told him not to look away. It was SUPER uncomfortable but also SUPER hilarious and we still laugh about it to this day!

We definitely take turns on whose are more ... odoriferous... but we do have fun with it, and we warn the other person if it's bad so they can clear the room or walk in another direction.

Honestly, if he doesn't mind and you guys can laugh about it that's way more important than having cute little unicorn farts. It's more realistic this way, and he loves you just the same. FH and I have battles some nights, and he's even woken himself up farting before. It's life. And it's beautiful, albeit a bit nose-hair-melting.

It happens. It's natural. Everyone does it (whether they admit it or not). I don't understand people who try to hide it. If someone is that uncomfortable about it they can go into the bathroom to do it. That being said my FH and I go back and forth on who is the smelly one...usually he just warns me about the "barking spiders" or some other comical way of warning the other person and off we go. lol

I have a particularly hard time "letting them go" around him which is partly due to my weird intestinal system. He is foghorn and lets them go wherever, whenever. I try to treat him like I want to be treated so I'll go to the bathroom politely and take care of it. I always tell him I do not want to smell the lining of his intestines lol. I keep lavender oil on my nightstand to help with it. It was part of my upbringing and considered very rude unless you were old and couldn't help it. All those with the "its natural" argument are correct, except there is a time and place.

Haha, that's a great story about your first time. Mine is pretty funny too: it was probably a day or two after we had the conversation where he told me that I shouldn't be uncomfortable about it. We were lounging on the couch watching Netflix and I felt the urge, so I just let it go (silently), smiled at him, and said "I farted." He started to say "Huh, I didn't hear any-" and then the smell hit him. Within 20 seconds, he went from moving to the other end of the couch, to fanning the air wildly, to going "oooh, wow, ugh" and running out of the room in search of fresh air. I simultaneously felt mortified, proud, and delighted that he eventually snuggled back up on the couch with me (after giving the air a few minutes to clear, of course).

I usually sit under .a blanket and it stiffles the smell if i don't move around for a few minutes after i fart lol. I eat lots of veggies so i'm definitely the smelly one.

I feel you 😂 he was the first one to let it rip in our relationship, and then it happened to me about a year after that. We’ve been together almost four years now, and best friends for six. So it’s just kind of a joke now - we call each other a tooter, stinker, chemical ware fare, you name it loo. It’s kinda nice to joke like that around each other - the only rule is no farting at the dinner table lol. I would ask him to make sure he’s 100% okay with it, and if he is, take him at his word.

I.am.dying. And I read this thread out loud to my fiancé. We've lived together for about 8 years. 2 weeks in, he goes, "I guess we've been together long enough now," and lets one rip. Sigh. I still did not fart in front of him or even go #2 while he was in the house for months. Then, one day he heard me in the bathroom and, although I was initially mortified, he seemed to be really amused so I stopped caring.
