My husband and I are pretty polite about letting off gas in front of each other we just plain don't do it. The other day don't know but something we ate gave both of us gas and it just would happen and nothing we could do about it. We always try to be polite to everyone and leave the room but this couldn't have been helped. His brother and wife let off gas in front of each other like it is normal. And then laugh about it like it is just another joke. One thing my sister did teach me was never expel gas or poop in front of your spouce. So my question is to you do you expel gas in front of your spouce or are you the type to leave the roomf? And if you do have gas attack and it happens what is the right thing to do? Do you laugh about it? Do you say excuse me? Or do you just blow it off like nothing happened?

I have let gas go in front of my spouse numerous time and to be honest i think that I left gas go more than he does. I have no problem with letting gas go in from of my family but I also make sure that I am decent enough not to just let it go in front of anyone else.
I think that if you have to let gas go that you should leave the room but there are also times when that is not always possible. I think excuse me should always be said but I also know there are times when we have also laughed about it because sometimes we think it is funny especially if it is really quiet in the room and one of us lets it rip.

Good thing for you Froggieslover. I am happy to hear that you can do this infront of people without worry. I have never been able to feel that free with anyone. I love my husband and feel the freeiest I have ever felt but I still don't think I will let off gas infront of him on propose.

It will be extremely embarrassing to let off gas in public or in front of people who you are not very familiar with. I am still a student now and four of us share the room. We have lived together for so long that we never mind that thing. So if you are as familiar with the people as with your roommates in shcool it will not be very embarrassing. So I think you and you spouse should be familiar with each other enough. Don't care too much when staying with your partner. But if there are some one else there I think you'd better try your best to avoid it.

I understand. Even in front of the closest froed it is also a little embarrassing to do that! Of course it is also the case when being with the partner. I really agree with you that we should try our best to avoid it! Enjoy yourself on the mylot!

Hi Song and welcome to my lot. I don't think I will ever get used to letting off gas in front of my partner and hope he never gets that way either. I had many brothers and never been around anyone that let off gas anywhere except my ex. And I think he thought it was funny. I will keep trying to avoid letting anyone hear that come from me. Thanks!

Hubby and I have been together for 10 years and if we each left the room everytime we had to pass gas, we'd never see each other. It's a normal body reaction and can actually cause severe pain if it's held in. I don't do it in front of anyone but Hubby and then only if I have to. He does it and blames the cat LOL Ok, ok, I've blamed the cat too LOL She doesn't mind.

Hi Twoey. When I was with my ex he did it all the time and blamed the cats too. I try to never do it especially around others. We know this guy that goes past people in stores and does it and blames whom ever he is around. I know it is normal but still some of them stink so I will keep trying to keep from passing gas around others. I don't know maybe after we have been together for 10 years we may just accept it.

In my opinion, it is your spouse. You do everything else with your spouse, why not let out a fart or two lol. It is a natural function and it shows that you are comfortable around that person. You are going to be with that person, Lord willin, forever. I know I let it loose indirectly sometimes and my husband will go ewww to be funny or I will go, you farted didn't you and he will jokingly blame it on the car lol. Sometimes I give out a SBD (silent but deadly), and he will say ok No more eating White Castles or whatever we ate that day. Sometimes you just gotta joke about it and say excuse me.

Hi BinaryaKat. I was told by one of my older sisters once that it is never wise to fart or use the toilet in front of your boyfriend or husband. She had some of the stinkiest farts I have ever had to smell and I can see why she said that. If my husband went around farting in front of me I wouldn't respect him as much. So I think I will follow my sisters advice and keep things private and keep my husbands respect. My brothers never did this in front of anyone that I ever knew of they might do it in front of other guys but my mother would have had their hides if they ever did this. I have had husbands that did let off gas in front of me but I never had much respect for them so it didn't matter to me. Oh well to each their own I don't hold it against anyone for passing gas anywhere they feel comfortable.I think it is nice that you and your husband feel that comfortable it is a good feeling.

There have been a few times where ive given my boyfriend a Dutch oven when I was mad. Usually I keep my gas quiet and to myself. I never let loose loudly in public. Its not only embarrasing but disrespectful.

Hi Lost and welcome to my lot. Never heard that one before about a dutch oven. I think it is embarrassing and disrespectful too. I just think it is odd there are a few couples we know that do this even in public. I wondered if I was odd by thinking it shouldn't be done around anyone. When some people we know think it is quite alright and say stuff like there is more room outside then in. Think it is weird what some people think is just normal.We know this one guy that will do this in public and walk right by an older person and say things like whew and think it is funny.

It something that really we should try and not do around anyone, but its also a natural function of the body, and can not always be helped. If you can control it than its just polite to excuse yourself and do it outside or in the bathroom, but on the occasion you can't it can be awkward. Ever notice how the first one to bring it up is usually the culprit.

Hi RAVENBLADE. I know it is best to be polite. I had many brothers and they never did this around me my mother would have had a fit. It is awkward and embarassing too. We just plain don't do this kind of thing around each other or anyone else. You are so right the ones that brings it up is usually the one that did it...LOL We do have a dog that expels gas all the time. And it is funny to see the look on his face.
