Turnoff!!!!!!

You must not have been married long! lol It doesn't even completely register with me anymore. Occasionally, he will say that he stepped on a frog and laugh or there's a barking spider in the room. But most of the time, I don't even give it second thought.

My husband does not fart in front of me, and vice versa. Some things should be private, like farting and poop. Not sexy at all.

Yeah, that's disgusting... my husband does it too and each time it annoys me more than the last. It's also very rude...

LOL! Gross, I agree. But I have a husband, an 8 yo boy and a male dog. I'm WAY outnumbered!

I absolutely agree with you! Stupid thing is that my husband farts and then wants to "cuddle". Uh, no! You should get him back. When he is nice and cozy in bed, fart under the covers...see how much he likes that!

I always tell my husband to get up and go to the restroom.

well, of course it's a turn-off. i don't know anyone who gets revved up by farts (although i suppose such folks exist.) constant farting would wear thin quickly.
but i grew up with 5 brothers, and now have 2 sons. unless it's a real green fogger, i just don't pay much attention to 'em. but we are pretty reasonable about leaving the room if it's a baddie.
and my dh is a strange anomaly. i'm not sure he ever farts at all!

I'm right there with ya! I'm not fond of seeing/hearing pretty much most bodily functions; yes I realize everyone does it, I just don't see the need to let the entire world hear it. I finally just told my husband, "I know that you like ____(insert intimate act here) but when you spend 2 hours farting like crazy I'm not going anywhere near that area. It's gross and I'm always worried that if you can't control yourself all night then you won't be able to control yourself when we are "being intimate" (I use other words) and sorry bud but I'm not cool with that."
I understand it happens sometimes before a person can leave the room but if he's over there making a production out of it then he needs to understand I'm not going anywhere near it. :-)

His behavious is not something that is exactly what I'd call funny or cute but passing gas is something that is going to happen more over time. As one ages you have has less control over the when and where plus it can be difficult to move quickly. There are also some health conditions that contribute to an excess in this area so leaving the room gets to be less and less an option. You are lucky you don't have a problem with constantly being gassy but everyone's system is different. If your husband is, he may be trying to make light of an embarrassing situation, trying to get you to lighten up about it or actually think it's really funny. What would you rather him do? Leave the room (if he can) and/or be serious about his faux pas and apologize if he can't? I have an idea that if you didn't react so much he wouldn't consider it so much fun (if that is what is going on). If it is something he really can't control (and he may not be able to, lots of people can't) then you can always leave the room, no comment needed. You are a lucky woman if this is your worst problem with your husband. Good luck! :)

I think its disgusting too! My ex used to fart all the time and strike a pose too or lift up a cheek sometimes the one next to me! YUCK! My littlest one is a girl and she farts out loud too - a bad habit we are trying to break. My current fiance, I have never heard him fart ever - I posted here before that I joke with my kids that he can't fart...(they don't believe me.) anyway I think there is something to being a little less familiar with your SO other in bathroom habits. Some things should be kept mysterious it makes for a better romance (ie I don't need to see him on toilet or hear him fart.)

Absolute TURN OFF! My husband doesn't do this nor do I in front of him. He puts it this way...would you do it when your dating and trying to impress your mate? NO! you wouldn't so why would you do it now??? We've been married for 13 years and been together for 18!

This may be too glib, but: my EX thought it was hilarious to fart when I was sitting next to him or while trapped in the car together. My current, lovely, husband still gets embarrassed when he accidentally farts in front of me.
Now, I'm not saying that you are not happy, etc. I'm just saying I never would have thought that such a minor thing would contribute to my own happiness! Ha ha

Yes, you are a little. But you are entitled to your feelings either way, and it sounds like he is overreacting too. My husb is also EXTREMELY gassy, due to a medical problem. But I find it ok, for two reasons.

1) I made it clear from the start that it was natural and healthy and I would never judge him for it, obviously in exchange for the same from him. Also, it would be a non-issue for our family, meaning no negative comments, but no over-the-top celebration either. It is like a cough, you may say "bless you" but no one is clapping or carrying on. This has fostered a healthy outlook for our daughter too, for when she is feeling under the weather dietarily.

2) My husb is GORGEOUS! Drop dead hot, he could be a model and women claw all over him. So truly nothing he does is disgusting once I look at him. Maybe you could motivate/shame (lol) your husband to be more physically attractive and in shape (perhaps even together)? It sure makes their flaws easier to stomach. :-)

You are soooo NOT over exaggerating!! My husband farts all the time and I hate it!!! lol
I think the worst is when he farts on the couch and the smell lingers for an hour!!!
We need to withhold certain 'activities' they want until they hold in their farts! lol
I'm glad I'm not the only wife that deals with this. :-)

Turnoff. My husband and I do not share that or bathroom time. Some things just don't need to be put out there even in the most intimate of relationships. Just sayin'.

I grew up with two older brothers, so it doesn't bother me.

I dated my Hubby for 5 years, and he never farted in front of me... the day after we got married, he looked at me and said, I'm sorry honey and let out a huge fart in the middle of the kitchen, and struck a pose while doing so. I was so grossed out!!!!!!! to this day he still farts in front of me daily, and in the car!!!! YUCK!!!!! and it will never change, we've been married for 20 years, and all I can say is, it doesn't get any better. I finally gave up fighting it, but YES it is a BIG turn off, why don't they get that? I don't know, but they don't. If you find something that works, let me know!

Most of the time, my DH will excuse himself (or at least apologize) and I'm grateful. I might still hear it, but I know he's tried to spare me.

we are two peas in a pod on this honey!!!!

Try living with a post surgery gastric by-pass person. We've had two major bickering sessions in the last 12 hours. "Just spray after please" apparently is asking too much and the man MAKES Glade and Oust at work. WTH?

I agree. I always tell him that there's a reason I don't hang around with 12 year old boys. Don't know what to do to get him to stop, but "proving" that it's a turnoff might help : )

My hubby does the same thing. Usually though, he will at least try to go to a different room if he knows it's going to be a stinker. I don't know how he knows, but he has some kind of 6th sense about if his fart will stink. Sometimes he gets it wrongn though, and we have to evacuate the room. I give him the stinkeye, and occasionally tell him off about it.

Although... it really doesn't bug me that much. I was raised by a single father, and I have had 9 brothers. Yes, 9 brothers. That's counting 1/2, steps, and full.... but usually we had at least 4 guys living in the house at any given time. So I'm pretty much used to it. The only reason I get annoyed at Hubby for it is because I would like my DD to grow up with some manners, and I feel it's best to lead by example...

I agree. It is a turnoff. While we all let out farts, at least we are embarrassed about it. Your husband laughs - not cool. Tell him you don't think it's funny and to either eat healthier (or decrease his portions) or to excuse himself when he needs to let one out.

You took the words out of my mouth. However, my husband and I had a huge laugh reading all your hilarious responses. Thanks for the laugh.

Add me to the club!
When I met my husband, him and his mother seem not problem farting in front of people, they say is not only natural but necessary, which I understand and I agree.
BUT.
I know there are the "accidental" farts, the ones that you really didn't know or couldn't stop them and just pop, It has happen to me too, lol.
But there are the other ones that you know is coming and you can and should hold and go away to the bathroom for respect to others.

I know as you get older you may not be able to control as much, so I don't have so much to say about my MIL (it does kind of annoy me that she laughs about it but I guess she maybe just do it because she is embarrassed) but unless my husband is sick I do ask him to do his on the bathroom, period.
