    I don't.  Never really felt it was "necessary" I guess is the perfect word I would use.   I'll say things like, "get out of the bathroom I have to poop" but I don't do the act in front of him.  As for the farting, I also just don't find that very (again) necessary.  If one comes out, then whatever I'll laugh it off, but I don't go out of my way to fart in front of him.

    I've had some girlfriends before give me so much crap about this and say that it isn't true love if you can't fart in front of your boyfriend/husband but I think that's ridiculous. I don't need to fart in front of him to feel like our love is real lol

    But I also think it's funny/cool if some chicks do.  It's just how I was raised I think.  My mom never even went out of her way to fart around me and would excuse herself if she did...and we were/are really close.  My dad farted in front of me a lot and didn't care.  My husband farts in front of me about every 15 minutes LOL I love it and think it's hilarious.  I envy him for being so carefree.

    I don't know if I would say it isn't true love if you don't fart/poop infront of your FI/DH but I do find it weird. 

    To answer your question, you betcha!! I am not shy in my own home. I don't normally poop infront of him but on occasion he'll come into the bathroom while I'm in there. He's the only person I am 100% comfortable with (as your FI/DH should be). When you're that comfortable with someone, there are no inhibitions.

    I actually asked my BF at one point to fart and burp more in front of me.  This was only a few months in to dating and I needed him to do this to make me more comfortable with doing it myself.  Lol, we laugh it off.

    Yup.  I do both.  SOmetimes in the middle of conversation I'll say "i have to poop.  come to the bathroom with me so you can finish telling me the story"

    the only thing i won't do in front of him is take out a tampon.  he is very uncomfortable with blood.

    I don't think I could poop with him in the room, I can barely do that when he's in the next room.  Maybe that will come one day...

    It would be cool to put this to a poll.  Since some people, like me, kinda don't want to admit what I do. haha. Of course, you could probaly guess what I do because of the fact I'm embarrassed by it. LOL

    i have farted in front of him, not often. if i say 'excuse me, i farted' he laughs and says, 'that was weak!' i don't think he would notice if i didn't tell him, lol. 

    as for pooping, ummm, in an ideal world, i would never poop. i dislike poop. i dislike pooping. i don't know why, but i really have an aversion to it. sure i have pooped while he has been home, but never in the bathroom with me! i never close the door when i pee at home, but i close the door when i have to poop. i prefer to do it while no one else is home. i have gone as far as requesting him to do random things, like return a movie, if i have to poop & i feel like it might be a yucky one! i know, i'm insane!

    Umm absolutely NOT!! In my house as a kid we NEVER said the word fart. It was me, my mother and my sister. SO and I do not discuss when we fart or poop. We ask if the other will please leave the bathroom because we need to go to the bathroom. I'll pee in front of him at any time so he knows that I will need some personal time if he needs to leave. I could not possibly imagine pushing out a number 2 while having a conversation with my SO. Eww!

    @pinkpetal:

    That's how I feel.  I feel like I'm very comfortable around him a lot and always hanging around the house in ugly sweats with no makeup on, etc... that's enough for me. I'd like to leave a little bit of sexiness there!  Maybe things will change when I have his children.  

    I also don't know how I feel yet about him being in the delivery room looking at my vagina when a kid is coming out of it.  LOL I agreed he can be in there holding my hand but no peeking. haha I'm completely skeezed out by child birth.  He started yelling at me when I first said he can wait in the lobby.

    I can barely poop in public bathrooms so I definetely can't in front of my husband.  As for farts, that happens sometimes but not on purpose.

    No, no, no!  I could never.  I would die of embarrassment if I farted in front of anyone, including DH.  He on the other hand, has no shame about letting one rip.  So unfair.

    @UpstateCait:  totally!  I get so bored in there.  I call him in to come entertain me.  Also we only have one bathroom at the moment.  So privacy is not really an option if we want to be on time for work.

    I don't fart in front of anybody if I can help it. Just like I don't burp or pick my nose or scratch my crotch in front of people if I can help it. For me it isn't a matter of feeling comfortable in front of people, it's just personal grooming and manners. I was just raised with it being considered a bit crass to do things like that even in front of family. I mean, obviously, if you can't help it it's another thing and it's not like I completely kill myself to keep from it, but just in general.

    Well, I definately fart in front of him, sometimes without even knowing it! Apparently I sometimes fart in my sleep. :( One example... this morning... I can't believe I'm going to admit this, but it really is too funny NOT to.

    I woke myself up farting.

    Yup, farting. I let out a little "ptthhffft" and I totally jerked myself awake by it!! AND my husband was awake for it! He looked at me and asked if I just woke myself up and I confessed. He just chuckled, said he loved me, gave me a kiss and turned over.

    God, he's the best. Haha.

    I *sometimes* fart in front of my FI...but it's always on accident. 

    He's definitely way more open about pooping than I am..the bathroom is across from my office, and he'll just leave the door open while he poops, so he can chat with me.

    I love him, but i SERIOUSLY don't want to hear him shi*t. 

    On my end, I'm not shy about pooping, but I'm not nearly as open as he is, haha.

    We do our best not to fart/burp around eachother just because its impolite to do those things around anyone.. and we would never use the bathroom of front of anyone, including each other. Its not because I'm embarrassed, its because its rude... even if we are 100% comfortable around each other, we still respect each other

    Oh yea I forgot to mention that I burp in front of him all the time. For some reason I don't feel it's as gross as farting or pooping. 

    and LOL @ farting in your sleep.  Omg my husband would kill me if I told this but he peed in the bed one time when we were together.  I died laughing.  He said he was dreaming that he was peeing and woke up peeing on himself. I remember him turning the light on at like 3 in the morning and was  putting a towel down and stuff and was trying not to laugh and I was half asleep and said, "what the hell are you doing?"  and he was like, "Babe...I PEED IN THE BED HAHAHAHA".  We both started laughing and I teased him for months after that.  I still do.

    While not trying to say we're digusting, we totaly toot in front of one another and crack up about it.  It's funny to do it, funny to laugh about it. 

     

    I will never poo in front of him unless it's an emergency, but we have a dog and talk about poo all the time ("Did lucy go poopsies?"). 

     

    Bodily functions are hilarious. 

     

    ETA: I saw an episode on either Dr Oz or Oprah when he was on and they talked to a woman who hadn't farted in front of her husband (therefore holding it in frequently) in like 30 years and Dr Oz talked about how unhealthy it was to do that.  30 years?  Lady, just do it!

    @AbbyDabbyDoodleBug: Ha that happened to my BIL on Christmas morning. We all piled into the living room, he stretched out on the couch, started loudly snoring, and then farted himself awake. I still crack up about it the total look of confusion on his face, the long sigh from his wife, and the outburst of laughter from the rest of us. 

    I have no problem farting/burping/peeing in front of my husband. I refuse to poop in front of him. I could (and when I have babies, I might have to), but currently, given the choice, I will not. I don't really have a reason for not doing it in front of him, I just have zero interest in it happening.

    He doesn't poop in front of me either, exactly, but he does sometimes open the door to let our kitten in the bathroom. She loves being in the bathroom with him when he's pooping. I don't get it at all, but we both think it's pretty hilarious. He also loves to fart in front of me. He'd really love, just once in our life, to dutch oven me. I told him that'll be grounds for a divorce. His farts stink. 

    ETA: Him farting doesn't bother me. I actually usually giggle, because apparently I'm a 12 year old boy. I just have zero desire to be trapped under a blanket with one.

    If living with him meant that I had to hold in all my farts, I would seriously stay single.  I mean, it's one thing to be polite when you're at work or out in public.  But I want to be comfortable at home, not worried about what other people think about me.  We laugh about it because we're both about twelve years old.  I'm definitely more proper about pooping though - doing that in front of someone else is for emergencies only!

    Uh, yeah we do both. Obviously not in the beginning of the relationship, but now it just seems silly to bother being "private" about things we both do naturally. And I agree with@CaitMarae:@Meowkers: that it's wasted time if we're not talking. ;) haha

    I try not to fart with him in the room. I figure if I give the courtesy of leaving the room so strangers don't have to smell it, I should make the effort to do the same for him.  Sometimes I'm not able to leave the room, and we kind of laugh about it.

    As far as pooping goes, we both give each other privacy in that regard.

    Lol this tread is hilarious, the BF and I actually kinda go out of our way to fart around each other (kinda a game) but I guess my body knows when hes around cause they're almost always super silent and he makes fun of me for it.

    As for poop, I hope I shall never have to do that infront of him. Though that might have to change after kids....maybe.

    And I'm totally reminded of Carrie in Sex and the City in this scene!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyFp3vcwCsY

    Yup, I'll do either.  We're totally relaxed with eachother and three different times caused it.

    First one was our 3rd time hanging out.  I was zoning out as we hung out in my bedroom, and for some reason I focused on his nose.  Annnd he had a hair sticking out.  Without even thinking... I plucked it!  he looked at both of his hands wondering what just happened (he zoned out too) and busted up laughing.

    Then the first night he stayed over, he went into the bathroom, then to bed.  Then I went into the bathroom.  he pooped and didn't flush the toilet. soooooo gross!  I went to say good morning, made out a little. Then as we talked I asked if he was sick..  He asked me why I made out with him if I was so grossed out, haha.

    The 3rd time was when we were again hanging out in my room.  And I ripped a silent one, well it stank REALLY BAD.  He couldn't see behind me, so when he asked, I said it was the dog.  Later I confessed it was me, and he busted out laughing and hugged the dog saying he felt sorry for the poor animal.

    After those times, we aren't shy about Anything.  It's actually helped the communication in our relationship, and we're thankful for the goofy things. :)

    Been there, done that. Dutch ovens are pretty terrible. He hasn't done it in years and I hope to never have to experience it again. FI likes to let out a fierce one in the car and lock the windows so I have to suffer. He's such a gentleman. =)

    No, because I would prefer my FI see me as a sexual being, and someone he is deeply attracted to. I can't imagine pooping in front of someone and then having them see me the same way. Some things are meant to be done in privat.e

    I feel like those are two very different things! Farts happen, but we don't go to the bathroom in front of each other, not even peeing. I don't think that's weird, it's a very normal boundary!

    Fart - yes.  Though it did take awhile, after 4 years, maybe only in the past year.  I'd make myself ill holding them in sometimes...and that's just not right.

    Poop - no!  Hell i have enough trouble going in a public washroom let alone infront of anyone LOL.
