Embarrassing marital dispute:

 

Question: How do you feel when your spouse farts in front of you?

 

My husband and I were raised in very different households where this issue is concerned. My husband's family just lets them rip without apology or excuse. My family would try to do it when there weren't others present, and always said "excuse me" if we did around others.

 

While I understand that farting, tooting, passing gas, cutting the cheese or whatever is a biological function , it makes me feel disrespected when my husband does it around me without excusing himself. Furthermore, I feel it sets a poor example of manners for our 3 children (Aged 3, 2, and 1). Before we were married, he was always respectful with this. It makes me so angry for some reason.

 

What do you think?

 

Am I wrong feel this way?

Personally I don't think he should always have to excuse himself. It is just what the body naturally does and maybe sometimes it catches him off guard. I don't think you should get angry at him about this..unless he is doing it on purpose to harass you.

In my opinion it is rude. Why don't you just belch in each other's face? Or crap on the carpet? Yes, yes, it's a natural body function, but self-control is part of being an adult, respecting others' space, and taking pride in your appearance.

That cracks me up.

 

My ex husband used to call me to have conversations with him while he was sitting on the toilet.

Ahh the kids should see their parents being silly and having fun. They will learn appropriate times when to fart and when to hold it in or leave the room. No big deal! Besides, farts ARE funny!

That wouldn't bother me. It's just subjecting us all to his disgusting a$$ air that is the problem! :confused:

Agreed.. there is a time for everything.. farts are funny...

 

I had a GF once that snuggled up to me in bed and put her butt cheeks on my thigh and let a good one rip...

We laughed for hours...

And, believe me, his gas smells worse than ANYONE else's that I've EVER experienced! It lingers forever too!

 

I feel disrespected that he cannot be more of a gentleman about it. He was a gentleman when we were dating; why can't he show me that same respect now? ESPECIALLY when he KNOWS it really bothers me???

Seriously you should exercise your boundaries.. but you shouldn't also be so unbendable to not see the humor in it all..

 

Life is funny.. farts are funny .. but all in moderation and he needs to show some adult restraint on when and how he farts.... if he does it to piss you off then you have another tangent happening...

If he does it to be in spite of you then you have another issue happening..

Some people don't know when they've crossed a line from funny to irritating to outright rude.

If he's going to act like that excessively, then cut him off on bedroom games for a while, until he can shape it up and stop acting like a child. Then he can have the adult games in the bedroom, when he is a good boy.

 

You can have fun once in a while but if this is an everyday thing....yeah, it's inappropriate.

AF.. I agree with the second half of your post.. there has to be moderation in his "fun"... but the first half you are telling her to use sex as a way of getting her way.. how is that any different than what he is doing ?.. it isn't very mature to use sex as a weapon to gain an edge on someone or get them to change their ways..

Question: How do you feel when your spouse farts in front of you?

 

I've been married twice and in both situations I had to deal with that.

 

I guess guys just love to do it.

 

I felt grossed out every time and I'd just leave the room.

 

I refuse to smell the gases that came out of someone's as. :sick:

My boyfriend does that to me. Or at least he tries to. Disgusting boy.

 

I get really offended when people burp or fart in front of me, but with him I don't really care. Not too sure why that is...

Personally- my partner farting around me doesn't bug me.

But I am like a little kid in that way. I hear a fart, I giggle like a school girl.

 

My husband once ripped a super loud fart in the video store and pointed at me...

I farted at a wedding. But, it was silent...And DEADLY. It was so thick you could cut a knife through it.
