Have you ever been in a situation like a job interview or a party, and suddenly with no warning, you fart? You feel shame, embarrassment and humiliation for something that’s a human bodily function. Most of the time, we don’t go around farting in public or when we’re in front of somebody we want to impress.
Everybody farts, but when you’re starting out in a relationship, the last thing you want to do is to pass gas in front of your new partner. Maybe you avoid trigger foods or work at not being around them when you feel a gas bomb coming. Plus, farting is funny. I don’t care if it’s immature — fart jokes are almost always funny and are a great way to break a tense situation. Also, farting shows that you have a sense of humour and can be used to create inside jokes between you and your partner. And if you can fart in front of the person you love without feeling embarrassed, then marry them.
Farting is also a great equalizer. If you’re in the middle of an argument and someone farts, it’s almost impossible to stay angry. And if you feel safe enough around your significant other to fart, then your relationship is strong and built upon acceptance and truth. Now you know what to do when Josh doesn’t do the dishes and you start to get into an argument. Just fart.
If someone loves you when you’re being a little stinker, they probably really love you. Because when you love someone, you accept them for everything that makes them who they are, including the good and the rank.
