"Your breath stinks, Honey... But I still Love you!"

I'm sorry about the miscarriage that both of you have to go through. Last 2007, I had a miscarriage, too. I was 4 weeks pregnant. Anyway, you're right. Little imperfections in a marriage can be an advantage.

Hi deejean... Thank you. It seems so long ago but it doesn't hurt that much anymore when I think about that time. Now that I have given birth again. My daughter just turned 4 months old.

Hi jcj...I'm so sorry for your loss and only wish you health and happiness for your family.

Imperfections does spice up a relationship. And sometimes they can break the ice! There was a time that my husband and I were engaged in a silent war for almost three days. We were in a room and still stubborn. Neither side wanted to surrender, who will speak first. So, no talking means a silent room. Then, all of a sudden, my husband passed gas! It was so loud but fortunately, it didn't smell. Oh boy! I really tried to stop myself from laughing but I couldn't. When he saw that I was struggling pretty hard, he said, "Oops!Excuse me!" After he said that, I was laughing so hard with tears...

That was funny!A romantic episode that turned to comedy.... If at that time, you had an argument and he was there to apologize and you passed gas.... Ahh...sweet, sweet victory!That will be the sweetest and smelliest revenge.

It reminds me, my boyfriend and I had our OJT in the same company. One time, I was arranging the products in the inventory department and he saw me there after. He attempts to hug me but at the same time, I was loosing my control on my gas. Unfortunately it can't be helped and it puffed. Unlike from your husbands, mine was quiet and you know what that means, it's smelly. I could remember his face from happy smiling to displeased and he was covering his nose and holding his breath because he couldn't stand the smell. I was quite embarrassed of my I did, Oops It just happened. I find it funny and I laughed. I was glad he didn't run away from me. He stayed from where he stand though he back ward a little, strike from my devastating gas. But anyway after that I came closer to him and and he laughed at me and I laughed on what I did on him while the bad air varnishes. He said, That was extremely bad, the worse bad air ever! You should practice regular bowel movement and then we laugh and hug each other! Luckily, nobody was around. :-)

am doing just great! and no they were never a problem!

Hello again Lakota... How are you? From what you have shared in the past about you and your husband, these little flaws will never be a problem, indeed.

Hello michael...Thanks in finding my discussions interesting. I do try my best to value everything in my marriage... the good and the bad even if it stinks! But to clear things up, my husband doesn't have regular bad breath. Because I've read in some replies in this discussion, they thought that I have a problem with my husband's breath! The truth is, I love my husband's breath. There was just this one time when he did give me a morning kiss and it was a little stinky. But if he does have bad breath, that won't make me love him less.

hahaha!...that's good, make it as your marriage "Rule of Thumb"...oooutch!!!

If my husband does that to me... holding my head down under the covers, as he passes gas.... he will definitely be sorry for it.

Hello flaky... I agree with you. One of the key ingredients in a relationship is acceptance. For without it, that relationship will be doomed from the start.

Very true... No matter how hard things may get in a relationship, it's preferable rather than having one that is boring.

It's said that you really don't know your partner, until you marry them. And it is true. I thought being engaged to my husband for almost 5 years, I knew everything there is to know. But I was very wrong.

What is with men and cleaning?With my husband, my degree of cleanliness and his never get to the same level. What's clean for him, still looks a lot messy to me.

I have no problem with my husband's breath because it smells just fine. I just used that kind of title for my discussion to show the many imperfections in a relationship.

I like that...Its sweet and it also means we are compatible because we like each other smell. You're both very comfortable in your relationship that no amount of flaws can cause problems between you two. Sometimes, my husband will just hug me for no reason at all. And there are times that I still feel a little conscious especially if I have done some house cleaning. And that means, I don't smell like an angel! But still, he insists on his hug and will make a joke... telling me that no bad smell can make him go away!

Hi jayrene I completely agree with you. Imperfections or any other minor flaws we find in our partners should not have to be a source of problem. But instead, just like what you have said, we can turn the situation around and make it a funny one instead. My husband's passing gas has always been a source of fun for both of us. Because he kept on denying that it wasn't him and blames it on our young son!

Ahh.... the way you have described your husband's ways, I remember my own husband.Especially with the laundry basket. Plus, throwing his trash beside the trash can...

That reminds me of my aunt who keeps on grumbling and complaining when it comes to her husband's underwear! Now,I don't even want to imagine why

I do appreciate a girl who are not ashamed to show me this simple things as farting or burping or even picking at nose it only means that they are at ease with me and dont have to hide this things from me That's nice to know, HelScream I wonder though if there are people who are offended and are turned off by these things. And they use these as a reason for ending a relationship. I have seen the movie, "Shallow Hal", and the main character is easily turned off by the simplest flaws in the woman he dates. And his bestfriend is no better. He breaks up with a lovely woman when he saw that one of her toes has a small birth defect. Anyway, when we truly love someone, we accept them as a whole... farting, burping and nose picking... Now, it really is true love if the girl picks her nose and even after you seeing it. You still find yourself smiling and telling yourself how lucky you are to have met her.

You're definitely right. Acceptance is a major key in a smooth relationship, especially marriage. For if one can't accept even a single flaw, then that relationship will be doomed from the start.

You're right. Any relationships have their own imperfections but that doesn't mean giving up on having a clean and healthy mind and body. Because, for certain, having bad body odors or poor hygiene will definitely cut off any physical attraction.

Hi jamierose and thanks... I have to be honest that there were times that these imperfections had been a source of our lovers quarrel. Especially when one of us is in a terrible mood. But then, after a day or two, we kiss and make up and everything's fine between us again. Then, we get to talk about that imperfection and why we ended up arguing about it.Then, the explanations come in. After that, we just laugh about it.

Aha... you're definitely in love.My husband has his flaws, as I do mine, but I see past those flaws because I do love him and accepted for what he is... (and does...especially the passing gas part).
