Hahaha back at ya HH!

I say I''d like 2 big ones, but in reality I really like lots of small ones. Quantity over quality.

Is anyone majorly confused by the politeness thread in newlyweds? Don''t marrieds do everything together?!

I do not fart in front of J. That''s just how I was raised - go to the bathroom! I realize during pregnancy/labor/illness that pooping and farting WILL happen, and thats fine. I''m not uncomfortable with farting, I just spare people if I can!


He pees in front of me, I do not pee in front of him.


We would NEVER poop with the door open or with someone in the shower while we were on the toilet.


I''m super modest when it comes to bathroom stuff. I dont like him in there when I''m doing anything. Occasionally he is, and its not a big deal, but I prefer my privacy. I have always been that way.

Um, one of the biggest benefits to being married is guilt-free farting infront of one''s partner. My favorite is to fart quietly right as I''m getting out of the car in the morning when he drops me off at work. So the smell blows back into the car and gets trapped in there

LOL!!! Classic.

LOL

Well Im not married but I might as well be. FI and I are pretty comfortable, however, I do not go numero dos in front of him. He doesn''t care and certainly would go if I didn''t mind. In fact, I have made such a point of going to the bathroom in private that he always makes a comment when I close the door...just to annoy me. I will pee in front of him. I will brush my teeth. I won''t freely fart, but sometimes you aren''t really given a choice

Although, he does freely fart in front of me. In fact he has no qualms about it at all LOL. I''m so used to it, I don''t even care. I also have noticed that when I slip, I don''t care anymore. When we were first together that happened to me and I was mortified.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

I have so many stomach problems and they all seem to cause gas, so worrying about it is pointless. We do not pee/poop in front of each other. There might be times on occasion when I''ve really had to pee while he''s in the shower and I''ll do that, but nothing else.

Yeahhhhh...same as Bia...not married, but we may as well be. For us, doors are closed for #2s...and we don''t generally pee in front of one another, though we will pee while the other is in the shower (and then usually join the other in the shower!) and wait to flush til we get out.

We also do all the teeth brushing, flossing, face-washing, all that kind of stuff together in the AM and before bed. As for farting, it happens, and neither really cares. A is lactose intolerant, so if he has something with dairy without a pill, he gets really really gassy and I feel so bad for him cuz I know his tummy''s hurting that I stopped caring a long time ago, lol...

I have stomach issues too. I''m also a cheese lover (and slightly lactose intolerant) so sometimes it cannot be helped

. He''s weird anyway...thinks mine are cute. How are farts cute?

I haven''t read that thread (will do after I finish posting here).

I don''t burp, fart, pee or poop in front of BF. Don''t really see why anyone has to do those things in front of others.

Plus I think our dogs emit enough gas to make up for it haha

Elle: you reminded me to bring some tea to work today and I just wanted to tell you that I am thoroughly enjoying it. Thanks wife

Tehehe. And those are WAY worse than human farts. Well, most of the time, anyway!

 

[CNOS128]

Okay okay I get it! No fb updates about law school.

 

[sunnyd]

I think everyone who has been to my parents'' house has heard my mom fart. It was always so embarrassing that now I can''t do it in front of anyone. Scarred for life!!

But DH''s favorite thing to do is helicopter when he''s nakey

(but if I had a weiner I''d do it too). Or when I''m showing he''ll stand peering creepily over the door until I notice him. Sometimes with a camera. LOL...

 

[vc10um]

PS: Hi lily!!! Nice to see you''ve joined us over here!

Heading out to lunch to celebrate a coworker''s bday...back soon, ladies!

 

[lilyfoot]

Why do people who do fart/burp/whatever in front of their spouse always feel the need to insinuate that couples who don''t do that suff must not be as "comfortable" around each other?

Sorry, I don''t see how releasing gas around each other makes you any "better" of a couple?

My BF''s best friend (who is also my best friends BF), is a fart-burp-poop machine, and he acted like we were crazy for not doing that stuff in front of each other. I wanted to slap him

Ahhh yes, the weiner dance. J does that too and I swear that thing is going to dislocate and fly across the room. It makes me nervous.

Why do people who DON''T do those things think that they''re a "better" couple than those who do?

Everyone''s different and we all have different hang ups and tolerances. I think both sides judge, but I don''t think any of us **here** are judging others when we say we''re ok doing those things. And I think those of us who do practice this behavior in front of SO''s know to practice discretion when we''re in public, etc. Do I walk around the office all day ripping butt eventhough 6 days out of 7 I''m in literally gut wrenching pain? No I don''t. My home life is the one time when I can relax and "let it all out" so to speak. I don''t think any less of people who don''t feel this way and I expect to not be judged in return.

 

[Lauren8211]

Ok. Im going to cry.

I am having serious eczema issues on my face right now. My left eyelid, and some skin next to it. NOTHING I''m doing works.

Plus my right side has a breakout. Two big pimples. I am seriously a hot mess, and I have to go to J''s stupid work party tonight and I look absolutely awful.

Hey!

I''m seriously NOT uptight... I just don''t fart in front of people. I dunno - I''ve always been that way.

I''ll talk about it til the cows come home, though.

I don''t know if that''s what you gathered from my post, but that is definitely not the way I feel.

I think, to each their own. If you want to fart/poo/pee in front of your mate, awesome. If you don''t, awesome. I couldn''t care less. I just don''t understand why there is judgement (from either side). I don''t judge my BF''s best friend for doing what he does (and, unfortunately, there is no discretion with him, any place is fair game for burps and farts), so why is there judgement on what we choose to do as a couple?

I didn''t say anyone **here** was being judgemental.

Ive never had eczema before - so this new, and I''m scared!

I have not tried aquaphor. I am thinking of stopping my Clinique skin regimen and starting Cetaphil to see if its maybe the facewash thats irritating my face.

I dont want to be put on steroids/antibiotics so I dont want to go to the doctor.

I know what you''re saying, lily.

I hear it a lot that if you cant fart in front of your husband, you''re not close, blah blah blah.

I''m the same way you are. I dont fart in front of him. If it happens, OK.. fine. But if it can be helped, I leave the room. That''s how I roll!

Don''t be scared because stress/nerves will make it worse. Get some aquaphor it''s the best stuff ever and I''ve even tried prescriptions for my eczema. I use it for EVERYTHING! Lips, feet, my kids hiney you name it!

I will pick some up.

I think I might also try tanning once a week... see if that helps.

It started when I tried the Origins skin line. I quickly switched back to Clinique, but it was no use. Its been coming and going, and now spreading, ever since.

I''m sure if you had a tummy issue that made you gassy A LOT, you''d be more open to farting. As would I.

I''m not going to get up from the couch every 5 minutes!

Lily I apologize, apparently I''m sensitive today...must be that gas.

I think there''s always going to be judgment one way or another. That''s just how it is when people are different and push the boundaries of what''s acceptable in the eyes of society.
