Whats The Biggest Step In Any Relationship? Flatulence

The biggest step in any relationship is not the first kiss, it’s the first fart.

Possibly one of the toughest obstacles for any couple to get through, if not marriage, kids, jobs, mortgage, and everything else above.

The other day my husband and I were out with friends having lunch at one of our favourite hot spots, chatting away as you do, and we hilariously stumbled upon the topic of farting in front of your partner.

One of our friends (who has been in a relationship with her partner for over 10 years) openly says to us that she has never, ever farted in front of her partner.

We were shocked! How does this even happen?

We couldn’t understand why she would put herself through that kind of torture. Was it insecurities, or some kind of fear. She didn’t say.

But what would drive this insecurity? Can you relate?

Are you scared that if you do, he or she will leave you? If that’s the case, they are either not the right person for you or you need to work on yourself and overcome this humility. You can’t ignore your feelings, but you can ignore your fear.

So don’t let a good blast from the backside prevent you from missing out on all the fun.

So how did we overcome this hurdle? Communication of course.

Ask each other the question.. Do you think farts are funny?

If your sudden reaction and soul thought is that it’s 100% disgusting. You’re right. But if you don’t fully understand its power of humour, then I would suggest getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.

If both of you immediately reacted with a laughing yes, then you're in for one heck of a loving relationship.

Look, FARTS ARE FUNNY, and the most easiest form of humour and entertainment.

It’s interesting how our butts can create such bad, foul smells and the sound of a machine gun or rocket launcher at the same time. There is no reason to hold on to it, or move to another room, or squeeze out the most silent but deadly painstakingly awkward fart on the couch.

Be like Elsa and let it go.

Make jokes, for example; let it rip, then say to your partner “What did you say, sounded like you mumbled” or let it rip, then say to your partner “Why are you yelling?”.

Or prediction jokes like, say “I think I hear a flock of geese” then let it rip.

My husband and I, we just treat it like a game. He would let it rip, out of nowhere, and I would be like “eww that’s disgusting” and then (if I have enough fuel in the tank) I would return fire. And then we just laugh.

The ultimate goal to all of this..LAUGH, LAUGH and more LAUGHS.
