Search Results: get along with your partner

I like a girl, and she burps CONSTANTLY. Like maybe 9 times per hour. She can't help it, even water makes her gassy. And she doesn't drink carbonated drinks often, so it's not anything along those lines, nor her diet, she is muscular and has abs and has an outstanding metabolism. It's just how her body functions. I think about this long-term down the line, and can only imagine us at a Christmas Party or something where she's constantly burping and getting weird or judgmental looks all night. I have feelings to a point where I'm able to accept her for who she is and get over something so trivial, but in public it's a different story because obviously she doesn't have that intimacy with everyone that could be around us. My family included.

The one bright side is she's not embracing or taking pride in the burps. Like she isn't belching or anything, they're average, casual burps. Not exaggeratedly gross, but they are audible. And she always says excuse me. So it's no problem with her manners or anything. But not only have I never burped or passed gas in front of a partner before, but when I have to (which I understand I have to- it's a natural bodily function. EVERYBODY has to), I try to hold it in, do it in a different room, or discreetly do it to where it isn't just publicly released to everyone in a room. I for sure don't do it constantly.

I don't believe flatulence activity should be publicized or embraced. Even amongst other guys I find it disgusting, and if one farts on me or attempts to make it "funny", we're gonna have some problems. I'm just worried about this girl because while she's very beautiful and has great manners, I'm worried about it being a small thing that would grate on me years down the line, until I'm just fed up. Yes, I think long-term, and the minor habits now are what explode into big problems in relationships in the long-term.
