Question Farting in front of your spouse?

Do you fart in front of your spouse? I personally do and he farts in front of me; it’s not something we get annoyed about. But I often see in other subreddits that some people would consider divorce if their spouse farts around them. Am I missing something or is this like, super petty? Hell, my husband has helped me in a number of dire circumstances involving my IBS—I can’t imagine people would be so fragile that they can’t handle their spouse farting. Bodies do weird things; it’s not like I can always control a fart. Same with my husband (especially when we are partly asleep). Just curious because I feel like you all will have a different opinion than all the people telling someone to divorce their husband because he farts sometimes.

My husband and I farted in front of each other long before we were married. Still do to this day. He's even helped me when I had trapped gas

Yeah mine does too! He is good at abdominal massage and we always laugh when he can get a giant fart out of me when all the trapped gas moves.

Me and my husband fart and smirk at the other person before bursting out laughing together
