Windy conundrum

[vicky_p]

My boyfriend and I have been together a few months and have now started living together. Things are pretty fine but there's one small irritation. I'm getting fed up having to leave the room every time I have a bit of wind. It's not something I do every five minutes, I hasten to add, and I'm all for respect, manners etc. But, my boyfriend thinks I'm some sort of princess and I'd hate to totally ruin his perception. So, do I keep holding my farts in or is it OK to let rip sometimes in one's own home?

dont relax too much, you never know what might follow!

Passing wind is a perfectly normal function and I can't believe that your boyfriend imagines that your body functions in a different way from anybody else. He'll probably be quite relieved to discover that you are human after all.
Just smile politely, say "I beg your pardon". and forget about it. The earth won't fall in.

if you cant fart in your own home where can you fart - i would suggest just laughing and saying oops or pardon or something similar then forget about it.
if you are not comfortable with this in your own home with him then perhaps you have rushed things a bit?

for 17 years my husband thought i couldnt fart, i told him i had this 'medical condition' and for some strange reason, it just wouldnt happen, (of course i farted like a trooper, in secret, but got sick of having to go out to wherever) then whilst i was pregnant you just cant control 'everything' and i coughed and farted at the same time in front of him, well you shouldve seen the look on his face!!! cant decipher whether it was sheer horror, or the fact that a scientific breakthrough had just been witnessed!!!
needless to say i happily fart away, and he hates it hee hee hee but whaddo i care, better out that in blah blah

a good relationship is one where your partner sees the worst of you and loves you anyways. if you can't feel comfortable doing everything in front of him, then you're going to have a hard time with it, hon.

lol I love curlyperm comments.

I have the same problem, I hardly fart at home only at my bf's. Make sure you sit up right and avoid veg and release them slowly so its not so noisy and does smell so much, that helps me. I tend to go outside if the pain is bad, the fart comes out quickly and the smell will vanish too. If you still worried bout it and in pain, and bit embrassed or etc if you both got drunk and you fart, by the morning he would thought it was amusing.

Let me know how you get on, if you have less farts.
