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.

According To Sam, It Was Pretty Bad

For Sam, This Matter Is Pretty Important
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.”
