When Did This Become Okay?
Okay, we've all been there. Sitting in bed or on the couch with our man when you realize you have to pass gas. You wiggle, twist your hips away from your partner, make up an excuse to leave the room and hope to God that it won't slip out before you get there, anything you can to keep it in or let it loose without your man noticing. I once had one escape in front of a then boyfriend, it wasn't the worse thing in the world, wasn't even a full on fart just the tiniest of toots, but needless to say I was mortified! I immediately made up an excuse about homework or an early class in the morning and left. We never mentioned the event again, it was a mutual unspoken pact, let's just pretend it never happened. I always figured men tried equally as hard to hide their bodily gases from their spouses and significant others, I mean wouldn't that make the most sense? Apparently not, it's just another one of the unspoken wifedoms. My husband has let it rip in front of me, nothing too bad, I think it's mostly that he's too lazy to try to hide it from me, that and as he's said before, he knows that I'll love him no matter how smelly he happens to be, but last night was not okay!! Cuddled up in our warm bed, I was awakened from a sound sleep by the most God awful stench I have ever encountered (this coming from a girl who lived down the hall from a dead lady in the month of July for three weeks before the apartment complex realized that one of the old ladies had died was coming from). I awoke just in time to watch my husband, still half asleep, lift up the blanket, fan out the stench, then roll over like it never happened. I was horrified!! When is that ever okay!? It is not okay to fart in bed, like full on smelly ass, fart in bed with your partner beside you. I mean, technically it's not okay to ever fart in bed, but if your alone and let one slip I mean who's gonna care but this was just not right. I couldn't help but think, this is what being married is all about, does all decency go out the window as soon as the rings go on? Is my husband so completely comfortable in my love for him that he will now pass gas when and where ever he pleases in my presence..should I be touched that he's that secure in our marriage? Nope, sorry this is just yucky. We had a brief "this is not okay" talk this morning, but he thought it was hilarious and is claiming he did this in sleep...I'll let you know how things pan out.
