She accidentally farted in my presence and behaved like the sound of the fart should make the foundation of our relationship tremble. I will explain.

We’ve been together for a while. We’ve spent nights together. We’ve spent many days together as a couple. We talk about everything and make silly jokes. The only thing that hadn’t happened was us farting in front of each other.

I visited her place and was telling me a story. I had divided attention but I was doing so much for her to know I was paying attention. I would do hmmm and arrrh and occasionally look at her face and laugh while concentrating on what I was doing. She made a statement and tried to laugh. The laughter came with a loud fart.

I pleaded with her to come out. She came but she couldn’t look at my face. I told her, “But this is not the first time you’re doing this? I’ve heard you fart out loud in the night when we were sleeping. Not once. So why are you bothered?”

She got up and went inside again. She screamed, “You’re mean. Why didn’t you tell me? I won’t sleep next to you again. Don’t even touch me again.”

It’s just a fart. A natural thing. I don’t get it. I was like, “What else are you hiding from me? You farted. I’ve been expecting it. Do you mean you were never going to do it? So I’m asking, is this something to be embarrassed about? It was not even intentional. Should this affect the attraction that exists between us? Honestly, it was loud but…
