The human body is weird, wonderous, and oftentimes kind of gross. But the good news is that everybody is gross in the same way -- namely, we all pass gas, whether we want to or not.
For one woman, though, burping and farting aren't an option. At least, not in front of her husband. The woman, who goes by "Sam," told Kidspot that her husband, "Rob," has a huge problem with women burping or farting. Things got complicated when she accidentally let one rip in front of him.
She wrote that she and her husband share a lot of things. But for Rob, flatulence of any kind is a big no-no.
Sam notes that, while he's mainly disgusted by women farting and burping, he doesn't like it when men do it, either.
After being out to a bar with friends and witnessing one of them burp, Rob told Sam how disgusted he was. From there, she decided to never fart in front of him.
One evening, after having a pizza dinner, Sam accidentally farted in bed while Rob was in the room.
"Yep, the worst flatulence scenario happened, I farted, and it wasn’t a small or inoffensive smelling one either," she writes. "In fact, it was probably one I’d be embarrassed about even if I was alone in the toilet."
Sam shares that her husband was completely disgusted, and even told her so.
"'Farting is the most unladylike thing a woman can do, especially in front of her husband,' he continued, turning away from me, revolted."
While her husband accepted her apology, Sam noted that he wasn't "over" the offending fart.
Sam noted that Rob would point out whenever women burped or farted in movies, and talk about how disgusting it is for women to do that.
But she writes that she felt her husband couldn't get over it. She'd made numerous attempts to get him to move on but to no avail.
She'd had a conversation with a friend, and told the friend what had happened. Afterward, Sam asked for advice.
Much to Sam's surprise, the friend was pretty disgusted by Rob's behavior.
Sam notes that the friend simply talked about how burping and farting are natural parts of any human body.
She writes that her friend didn't offer any "helpful" advice, and felt that she didn't understand Sam's relationship with Rob.
She says, "It is really the only thing that is a big deal for him, and while others may say it isn’t important, for me it is because for my husband who I love and who in every other way is so wonderful, thinks it is."
