Boyfriend heard me fart! So embarrassing?

[Anonymous]

We've been living together for over 8 months and so far I have managed to keep my burps and farts to myself lol. But last night when he came home from work he was feeling extra playful. We were sitting on the floor in our living room and he was tickling me so much I could hardly breathe! Everything goes downhill from here lol. He literally held my arms away so I wouldn't get away and kept going at it. I told him to stop at least 3 times lol but he didn't and my laughter just pushed the fart out! It was a very tiny one but he still heard it and died laughing/literally couldn't stop for at least 5 minutes. He was all "Was that a fart, Kristen? Girls don't fart." There was no denying it and obviously I blushed bright red and was like "I couldn't hold it!" He was laughing so much and I was madly embarrassed but he just hugged me and told me to not be embarrassed. Even though I know he just found it humorous it's still sucks because I didn't ever want him to hear me fart! He teased me about it afterwards and was like "You're too pretty to fart." I just hit him playfully and told him to shut up but he's still not dropping it and I'm simply mortified! He told his friends and they all made fun of me over it. How to get over this embarrassing moment? Suggestions? Is he officially unattracted to me now? LOL

Thanks for responding to my question lol :P My boyfriend reassured me that it was hilarious and that I shouldn't be embarrassed so I'll probably get over the embarrassment soon enough! Aha :) I guess it was bound to happen at some point but thankfully it was just in front of him. Thanks for all the helpful advice ahah

[emmabee11]

He told you, don't be embarrased, stop listening to guys that have such sexist views about women that say they shouldn't fart, don't let other guys make you feel insecure and don't think about other men, you have a boyfriend now and he seems to adore you and doesn't care if you fart so i think it's time to let your guard down with him and just fart around him, it just makes me so sad that other girls are made to feel insecure about simple bodly functions... it's not right... you know it's not right so why be embarrased?, it's a stupid, old aged thing that only prude victorian women were told to bellieve, so just chill and far whenever you want.

[Asker]

Good point but I think embarrassment is normal when you're trying to impress someone. Even though we've been together for 2 years I still want him to be attracted to me & think of me as a lady ahah :) But he does it whenever he needs to but I'm still never doing it on purpose if it can be avoided lol :)

[emmabee11]

My mum has a lot of wind and just farts in front of all of us and i've grew up with my dad and bro loving fart humor so i just fart in front of them aha, although my dad is still conflicted and tells me off for farting but he can't say nout when he makes rotten smelling farts even when he's standing at the kitchen door when i'm in there like i don't get it... he laughs and jokes stinking me out but kinda treats it like it's "unlady-like" when i fart... but the other times he's not like that, confused... lol, it proves it's just embedded old age beliefs.

[Goldie757]

Acknowledging a natural human function is an essential part of life. Crap literally happens. To all of us. If honesty and openness are key components to any healthy relationship, why hide the inevitable?

I’m not saying that you should be dropping stink bombs left, right and centre with a guy, I understand that you have manners. However, if one little fart does happen to slip out… blame it on him and laugh it off. He’ll probably find it cute.

I generally feel if you can't fart with someone you are not comfortable around them.

[Asker]

Very true & he said it was hilarious and cute the way it happened LOL :P I'm comfortable around him but it's hard getting over embarrassing moments for me because I'm a perfectionist and a control freak aha. At least it was a funny bonding moment *blushes*

[c0pyth4t]

If you're human, you're going to fart, you're going to burp, you're going to puke, and do all other kinds of gross things and if you and your boyfriend are in a serious (which it sounds like you are) he's going to have to be there for all of that. And he'll do plenty of gross stuff, too; it's part of life with a partner. I highly doubt he's unattracted to you now, he sounds like a fun lighthearted kind of guy. If him telling his friends about it bothered you, you should tell him that and he'll probably avoid doing it again 😊

[Asker]

Thanks for your response. Made me feel less embarrassed lol :) I get that these things happen but I also wanna be seen as a girlie girl and not one of the guys. He gets enough of that stuff with his friends! I like being a lady in front of him especially lol :)

[c0pyth4t]

Your welcome 😊When accidents happen the best thing you can do is just laugh it off and tell yourself it's no big deal😊

[MaelaK]

Bring it up yourself before he does.
It will feel less embarrassing if you do bring it up yourself (in jokes for example) and it would be a way for you to kinda "face" your embarrassment and accept it.
It would also make him shut up, since he seems to be doing it to tease you because you want to avoid that subject.

And no, I don't think that a single incident like that can make him see you differently xD Chill

[Asker]

We both had a good laugh even though I was totally embarrassed! Lol :) it was just so unexpected and I was trying to avoid doing that in front of him but it just sort of happened! Lol

[MaelaK]

Yeah I've read your description.
You wanted to get over the embarrassment quickly, so that's what I suggest.
Your boyfriend seems nice tho kinda a little immature xD

[Asker]

Yep that's him alright lol :) let's say I'm the mature one in our relationship ahha :P

[seby1607]

No he is not unattracted to you, it is just unusual for men to hear a woman fart, that's all ;) . by the way, he probably told his friends because of this fact, and because men are always impressed by farts (Yes, we are immature ;) ).

How to get over it? Just forget about it, he will forget about it in 2 days as well ;) . It's normal and okay to fart where your boyfriend is, it is human ;). Don't stress about it, it's just a fart.

Just forget about it and tease him when he farts as a revenge ;) .

[Asker]

Telling his friends was such a jerk move lol :) He knows I try really hard to be a lady! Gahh I'm still embarrassed but at least it gave us something to laugh about & he now he knows to stop when I tell him to lol :P

[seby1607]

Haha it is a jerk move, unfortunately ;) . Did you tell him though that you thought it was? You really shouldn't be embarrassed as it completely normal, and it can be something to laugh about, like I said, next time he farts where you are, just change the roles like "Was that a fart, [Boyfriend's name]? Guys don't fart." and "You're too pretty to fart." ;). Revenge and humor is the best humor :) ;) .

[Asker]

No, I didn't tell him because I don't want to draw more attention to what just happened haha :P He actually isn't embarrassed at all and just does it whenever he needs to lol :) Not doing it around him again though. That's for sure lol!

[OlderAndWiser]

Go to a novelty store and buy a whoopee cushion, inflate it, and sneak it under him as he is preparing to sit down. Then you can have a good laugh at him.

Everyone farts and we all know it. Most people won't intentionally do that in the presence of their SO, but sometimes it happens. Would you leave him if he cut the cheese and you heard it?

[Asker]

He does it all the time & I still haven't broken up with him lol :P And yet it's such a big deal when I do it once? He's a jerk lol :)

[OlderAndWiser]

Have you tried having a serious talk and explaining that he is being insensitive to your feelings to the point that you feel like running away from the relationship?

[Asker]

No, it's not that serious lol :) He just likes messing with me and sometimes it embarrasses me aha

[OlderAndWiser]

So tell him that he is making you uncomfortable when he deliberately embarrasses you as he has done recently.

[kaylaS91]

Just join in on laughing about it?

It's honestly not a huge deal. It's not like he ever thought that, just because you're a girl, you're incapable of farting. I mean.. just the other day while giving my boyfriend head, I started deepthroating and gagged a bit. As I coughed/gagged a bit, I definitely farted. I'm not so sure if my boyfriend noticed as he was so caught up in enjoying the blowjob but- either way, it happens. We're only human. :P

[Asker]

So embarrassing though! Lol :) Like I'm still blushing thinking about it

[meatballs21]

You are a human. Humans fart and burp. It's natural. Guys joke about the poop fairy and how girls don't do that because you'll always be our perfect angelic ladies in our eyes and we don't want to think about you doing that stuff but deep down, we know that you do.

[Asker]

Yeah, he always jokes that he doesn't think girls fart of poop lol :) so far I haven't shown evidence to the contrary until now lol :P still so embarrassing

[Poppykate]

I know it stupid... 😏 If we eat... we poop 💩! But again, some guys don't think we eat much so...

[dolemite68]

its not like he broke up with you over it lol everyone farts its not unlady like or a turn off. When girls make it a point not to fart cuz its "unlady like" thats when guys like to tease them a lot for it. i prefer girls fart around me cuz it shows me their comfortable and she's just being funny. don't be so embarrassed, he's teasing you because of how you're reacting.

[Asker]

Yeah, he was really making fun of me! I have been doing it in secret since the day we moved in lol so this was my biggest embarrassment lol :P It was definitely not on purpose! Lol

[dolemite68]

we don't care if you fart its not a turn off, its just funny teasing girls about stuff they get super embarrased about. if you didn't care what he thought he wouldn't tease you. just fart around him whenever like you don't care what he thinks

[Asker]

But I do care what he thinks lol :) I need to be a desirable creature to him and that means not farting/pooping/peeing/burping around him ever! Lol :)

[dolemite68]

thats just nonsense, a girl farting/pooping/peeing/burping around me never deters from how sexy she is. she's human just like me. if your boyfriend thinks badly of you because of it he''s super immature

[Asker]

No he doesn't think badly of me lol :) I'm just overly polite around people (including him) and want to be seen as a lady! Lol :P It may not detract from my sexiness but it makes me feel unsexy lol

[dolemite68]

fair enough, i just had a girl accidentally fart really loud on a first date once and she was embarrassed but i went out with her for a year after that lol

[Asker]

Jeez that's so embarrassing lol :) If that happened to me on a first date I wouldn't be able to show my face again!

[dolemite68]

she was embarrassed but i didn't care at all, it just made me think she was a funny girl lol

[Asker]

But be honest. Are you laughing with her or laughing at her? Lol :)

[dolemite68]

with her honestly

[Matt21]

it's totally okay to fart in front of your boyfriend. and it's okay to laugh it off for a bit... but to laugh for 5 minutes and then tell his friends, it sounds like he has some maturity issues.

[Asker]

Maybe it's because I've never done it before in front of him? Lol. I'm still embarrassed but I'm sure he'll stop making fun soon enough

[Matt21]

I know you've never done it in from of him before but it's not a big deal.

[Matt21]

either way it'll all blow over soon (pun intended)

[Asker]

Very funny lol :P And for the record it was an accident!

[sunnydee]

He seems like a nice guy. He probably just thinks its cute. And farts aren't that bad. He hasn't seen u pee yet? After pee there's like nothing more embarrassing.

[Asker]

Yeah he said it was cute lol. Nope he hasn't heard me burp, fart, pee or anything else until that happened lol

[sunnydee]

how have u escaped that? aren't u living together?

[Asker]

Yeah, we've been living together over 8 months lol :) I normally just go to another room or wait until he leaves for work lol :P

[sunnydee]

Oh my! honey u can't do that to yourself!
You need to be comfortable! I'm sure he'll be more than perfectly fine with it. Be brave.

[Asker]

Lol I'm just trying to be a good girlfriend by being ladylike ahah :)

[sunnydee]

yes yes i understand. I was like that at the beginning. Until something like this happens and you realize he just wants u to be urself.

[Anonymous]

farting too early might be bad and a deal breaker but you've been living for 8 months so its not that big of a deal at all. P. S It can be really cute if a girl you like farts and it can also be a turn off for a lifetime. It totally depends on the timing and the mood of a person. One fart can change your life.

[Asker]

He found it hilarious and said it was cute but obviously embarrassment doesn't fade in two seconds lol :P

[tien_123]

Haha, he won't lose attraction to you because of that. Now, I think you can just go with the flow, make joke with him about that or just dont say anything when he mentions that incident. Just act normal. Once he knows that you are not embarassed anymore, he won't make fun of that

[Asker]

Yep, I already made jokes about it and we shared a laugh lol :) wish he hadn't told his friends though! That's just embarrassing!

[Kellykelkelltik]

Girls fart too. Why is pretending we don't such a thing? Yes, I know, I know, the patriarchy. But it's not like we have zero agency. We need to fix this nonsense. Let'r rip ladies!

[Anonymous]

So you've been letting rip in secret... He probably heard all of that before, and also, according to a study (that I accidentally read), everyone farts in their sleep very loudly and very uncontrollably.

[Asker]

No he's never heard it before lol :) He specifically told me it's the first time he heard me fart which is why it's especially embarrassing lol :P guess I'm just good at hiding it aha

[Opinion Owner]

That's the least of anyone's worries lol https://www.snorenation.com/stop-farting-in-sleep/

[Gonetowardthewind]

Well better start getting used to stuff like that especially if you are living with each other

[Asker]

Nope it's still avoidable lol :) Living together just means learning how to hide it better aha :P

If you end up in a serious LRT, he will hear a lot more than the occasional fart. Best get used to it now.

[Asker]

Not necessarily lol :) I know some couples you have been together for years and haven't witnessed any of that lol :)

[Opinion Owner]

They are so lucky. LOL. ;-)

[Anonymous]

Oh he would have heard my fart at least after 5 months of dating better out then in I always say. It's natural if he has a problem with that then damn I'm not holding in any farts and suffering

[Asker]

Oh my goodness lol :) I don't care about suffering as long as I don't fart in front of him again ahaha :P We've actually known each other for 2 years but living together for 8 months and I'm still self conscious about it!

[Toad-1]

So funny how girls react to something so normal lol

[Asker]

It's normal yes but I was trying to uphold a ladylike image ahah :) none of my previous guys heard it and I've always been in long term relationships

[Toad-1]

You can still be seen as a lady and have some farts slip 😛

[Asker]

It's his fault for not stopping when I told him to lol :P I don't even know why he told his friends because he knew how mortified I was! Lol

[Fk7676]

Natural thing, might be embarassing now, won't be later on.
He shouldn't have told this to his friends though.

[Asker]

Yeah, he shouldn't have! I'm still embarrassed that they know lol. Anyway I'm just gonna not let it happen ever again aha :P

[Lærke_k]

If you are really embarrased about. Go talk with him, and say that its serious

[chuy10]

men don't care we or at least I know were all human it happens he's not going to love you any less because of it some guys even get off on their girlfriend farting in their face

[Asker]

That's so gross but I guess some guys are strange like that lol :) My boyfriend just found it humorous & funny

[chuy10]

I personally don't like it but I've seen videos of girls sitting on the guys face and farting

[chuy10]

you're welcome

[Asker]

Yep, weirdos like that exist aha :) Thanks!

[chuy10]

everyone got a kink I guess

[Asker]

Do you have any kinks? Lol :)

[chuy10]

i like eating booty and kitty that's it

[Asker]

Interesting lol :)

[chuy10]

you're boyfriend likes that if he does do you enjoy it

[Asker]

Nope can't say I do lol :)

[chuy10]

you don't like that done to you

[Asker]

Nothing to do with eating booty lol :P

[chuy10]

oh ok

[chuy10]

sorry

[Asker]

Don't apologize ahah :) I asked what your kinks were & you told me :)

[Anonymous]

And there's me laughing whenever I burp or fart in front of the guy I'm with! :P

[Asker]

Haven't reached that stage I guess lol :) Farts and burps will forever be embarrassing to me (Especially in front of boyfriends!) :)

[Anonymous]

Nah, natural body function.. no big deal... we all do it

[Asker]

Has a girlfriend ever done that in front of you before? Lol :) I never do which is why it's especially embarrassing lol

[reptocarl]

This is nothing. Everybody farts. Get over it

[Asker]

Thanks ahah :)

[John_Doesnt]

He will probably dump you.

[Muhammad1999]

Looks like he's a nice guy , it's normal to laugh

[Asker]

I laughed it off but still super embarrassed lol

[symere]

That mans immature and lame

[Anonymous]

you think?
