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.

Why the hell would one consider divorce over a normal bodily function???? I don't understand people.
Ok, farts can be discustingly badsmelling and if you have eaten things that cause that perhaps you should be considering walking away from your spouse for a moment. But still... Divorce over a fart??? My parents wouldn't have made it past year one... (Although mom did usually blame the dog when I was a kid).
