    Hello ladies :) OK so FI's Best friend and his gf are super cute as a couple and what not and have been together for about two years and the other day they decided to share to the world through FB that they are so comfy with each other that they fart in front of each other and then go on to critique the smell while I thought it was hilarious I also thought it was hella gross! Ive been with my man for over 5 years and to this day I dont fart or burp in front of him unless its an accident lmao. He does'nt do it in front of me either...hell I cant even go number two with him being around the bathroom lol! I mean we are really comfortable with each other and really silly and do things with each other that we wouldnt do in front of other people but I just want to keep the sexiness in the relationship, I want to keep that image he has of me of the cute girly girl.

    I just want to know if you guys are o.k with the farting and the burping and the pooping haha.

    I think some mystery should be left in the relationship.  I really don't do that kind of stuff around my husband unless I can't help it but never pooping with him nearby!

    R doesn't care; I like to maintain my "feminine mystique" - quite a feat when you live together! We're not shy about things like, "I have to pee" or whatever, but I do my best to be as un-disgusting as possible when he's around. He doesn't bother trying to hide his farts anymore, though. I think it just depends on the couple.

    I think it's a two-fold question.

    Are my FI and I comfortable enough around each other to do this? Yes.

    Would we broadcast it on facebook for the world to see? Ansolutely NOT.

    haha.. I have passed gas infront of him once.. outside..

    I have ibs so sometimes it hurts waaay too much not 2. Other than that 1 time I NEVER have. It is hard to have a bowel movement with him nearby but i sometimes just turn the water on all the way (i know not good for the enviornment!)

    he however has NOOO shame.. and for reason im okay with that.

    There was a post about this a few mo ago with an interesting poll... but I can't remember where it is now :) I'm in the "no" category though. Sure, accidents happen and things slip and its not a huge deal... but we both definitely make every effort to avoid those situations! I do think there is something to be said for keeping some mystery alive. I think it really matters how people were raised though. Some families are totally cool with that stuff and its normal which makes it more normal for those people in relationships. My family was NOT like that at all (if my brother said something like "i'm going to the bathroom and its going ot be a while" my mom would reply "that is way too much information!" lol). So i'm not cool with it. :)

    The #2 def NO.

    But the farting and burping. Why not? It's stinky and all but if you live together how do you keep that stuff in?? A lifetime of holding in fart and burps will be very painful!

    Just because we're girls doesn't mean we don't fart and burp too!

    My FI and I are the same way you are!  It always amazes me when people can fart and burp in front of one another.  Accidents happen, but neither of us intentionally do it.  YUCK!!  We decided the keys to a happy marriage are separate bathrooms, a TiVo and a king sized bed!

    We used to be like this, but about 1 year into our relationship, my husband and I got the flu REALLY bad, and so we got over caring pretty quick. We could care less about it now, and although we don't go #2 with each other in view, it's not like we're hiding it or anything. I think personally I would hate to feel uncomfortable in any situation around my husband, and I'm sure once I get pregnant, a whole mess of nasty uncontrollable-ness will take place.

    I have IBS so sometimes... at night in bed... yeah, I might slip.  And he might in the car on a long drive.  But in NO WAY are we playing "guess the smell"!  That's just gross. I do think gas happends but there is no reason to be crude about it.

    Hahaha yeah I know critiquing the smells is what got me to get grossed out lol...

    Well im pretty open with that kinda stuff with my sibling we are really gross when we are together like burping contests, and comments like "I have to take the biggest dump ever!" I know gross but whatever lol

    And I feel a lot better about not doing it in fron of my FI its not the I feel uncomfortable in front of him I just dont need him to see that side of me lol he already sees the crazy neurotic side no one else sees no need to add the stinky gross side too haha

    I'm with you guys on the #2 in front of him thing....just can't do it.  But I guess I don't understand what you're supposed to do if you have to burp or fart...run out of the room?  I mean, I try to keep it quiet, but sometimes you just can't, and I don't know how to hold it in!  I'm confused.  Your body does things...what's the big deal?

    Ummm, I wouldn't announce that we are comfy farting around each other and would definitely NOT critique smells on FB. 

    We have no problem farting, burping around each other. We treat it as a joke when it happens- we say, "there she blows," or "I felt the vibes on that one." You know, funny stuff... I seriously think worldwide, in every cultural group, farting is funny.

    Burping isn't an issue with us.  I find it actually kind of funny but farting and going #2 are all in private.  We don't feel as if we need to 'share' everything with each other!  :o)

    Ummm...so I'm on the other end of this spectrum from most of you.  I fart, burp, and spit in front of my boyfriend.  But I also do it around most of my friends too.  I'm a rock climber, and half the time you're unshowered out in the woods (with mostly guys to boot) so it kinda just happens.  Everyone gets really comfortable really quick.

    Haha@ "there she blows" lol.... I agree that stuff is funny and if it happens by accident or it just needs to come out then fine... Im talking about sitting on the couch you kind of feel you have to fart and then you just raise your leg and let it rip kinda thing..thats what i wont do,

    We never "judge the smell" but we are comfortable enough to do this. We don't do it on purpose or anything. If it happens, it happens. Our old apartment was less than 500 sq. feet so there wasn't a lot of room for privacey. lol.

    I grew up hanging out with boys so I guess I'm used to rating farts. Shit is funny. It still will make my brother, dad and I roll over laughing as my mother scolds us at 23, 54 and 26. Yeah, we have no problems being gross. Just not in public.

    i would never, my husband does but i think he has a good excuse. he has crohns so he's extremely gassy, it would just be uncomfortable if i made him hold it all in all the time. sadly i know i haven't kept my "girly girl mystery" thing. due to migraines, he's seen me at my worst, throwing up and looking a hot mess. in his car. but he's my husband, so there's some things you just can't hide.

    Well, I wouldn't broadcast it on Facebook (although I'm about to broadcast it here so...)

    But yeah. We totally burp and fart in front of each other. All the time. And we critique the smells , too.I love that we feel comfortable enough to completely be ourselves, even if we are sometimes really gross. :)

    We draw the line at pooping in front of each other. But we'll pee in front of each other if we have to. We don't make it a regular practice, but if he's brushing his teeth and I need to go really badly, I just go. And vice versa.

    Definitely not, unless by accident.  He does fart in front of me though, and I told him how gross I think it is.  So now he makes it a point to run to the bathroom to do that stuff but he makes a big deal out of it just to mock me.  "I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM TO FART!" he says.  Ugh, boys!

    Lol...we are pretty comfortable around each other and do all of this stuff.  I mean, I think we both would prefer to not do it around one another...but it happens.  We live together in the 100 sq ft space that is my room so it's kind of inevitable.  Ladies, if your man doesn't still find you sexy after learning that you're a human being (i.e., you fart and burp), then there's a problem.  I think y'all would be surprised how little would change between you two if you actually did those things in front of him haha.  It's no big deal.

    ha! FI still thinks girls don't go to the bathroom or do anything "gross". !!!!!! 

    we are both super private people and keep our bodily functions pretty private. ha. We are like that with everybody though, not just with one another.

    haha, we've been together for 11 years, lived together for 2 and i doubt that will change :p

    So a while back, there was a thread about things you don't do in front of your SO. I definitely posted that I couldn't fart in front of my husband, and never will be able to.

    That's changed :)

    I went through a period right after our wedding where I had, er, digestive issues? I'll be blunt: I was really gassy. I got sick of getting up to go to the bathroom each time I had to let it out, so I just started doing it in front of him. Now that my issues are done, I still do it. I just don't care anymore!

    Prior to that, we burbed in front of each other all the the time, but no poo! That's just too much for us.

    @jennychicago, i am exactly the same way... i can't even go #2 with the door locked, if he's outside or nearby! he knows it too and likes to knock on the door and say 'what are you doin babes!?" hahahaha.

    we've def caught each other farting/burping on accident... but it's def not something we choose to do either.

     We try not to fart in front of each other or anyone else for that matter. As for #2...we both just go about our business and don't talk about it whether its smelly or not...

    It's a natural occurence but it shouldn't be disected and definitely not posted about on Facebook..yuck!

    Hahaha Missjyc!!! My FI does the same thing!! I have to turn the water on and make sure hes in his room or something lmao...or right after im done he will be like oh I have to go to the bathroom now just to bug me because he knows i dont want him to go in there after me in case it smells hahaha 

    I dont think it will change anything in our relationship if we do it but I dunno I feel guys are weird and even though they might tell us something is cute but really they think its gross and wish we wouldnt do it.

    This is such a gross topic lol My FH likes to believe that girls dont do these things (kidding) so I defintely respect that...what's gross is that he does! He tries not too, but sometimes it gets out of hand and I let him know. I love that he's comfortable with me, and I am with him too...I just think that we need to at least TRY to be considerate of one another...

    It happens but it's still gross and not very classy especially when you go out of the relationship and 'share' that with other people... BUT to each his own :)

    I try not to poop around him I normally go into the bathroom in the other room vs one in the hall. I burp around him not on purpose and he thinks it's gross I agree.  I have farted around him only b/c I couldn't hold it thank god he didn't notice.  I don't do it on the regular and he never does it around me.  Although on rare occassion he does go into the bathroom after I have pooped he says is smells.  My repsonse is well of course it don't smell like roses and I didn't have any air freshner to spray.

    We fart and burp up a storm!  Well, not really, the FI can't burp (at all... it's weird) but I sure can!  It took us a few months, but now it's one of those things that we laugh about whenever it happens.  Every once in a while, he'll say something like, "Man, I'm so glad we fart in front of each other!  I was getting tired of holding it in!"  :)
