"It’s not like I do so in front of company, or in public, or in front of his family..."

In the captivating world of relationships, it's intriguing how we can find ourselves engaged in the most unexpected battles over the tiniest of matters. Amidst the beauty of shared emotions, dreams, and laughter, there lies a curious dimension where minor disagreements take on a life of their own.

It's almost amusing how something as small as choosing a restaurant or deciding where to store kitchen utensils can momentarily overshadow the broader connection we share with our partner.

Imagine this: a couple deeply immersed in their shared journey, where every moment is embedded with love and affection. Yet, in the midst of this special bond, a seemingly trivial topic emerges, sparking a quite petty and silly discussion.

In this case: where should you fart—do you do it anywhere, or do you believe that it should only be done on the toilet? Well, this is definitely the dilemma of a certain Redditor who turned to the r/AITA subcommunity to ask if it's valid that they think it's okay to spill gas anywhere at home, as opposed to their boyfriend's belief that it should solely be done inside the bathroom.

This divided the comment section into two—and we're having fun reading all their responses. Just take a look at the best ones below!

In OP's long-term relationship, they differ on farting etiquette: their BF strictly does it on the toilet, while they finds it acceptable to fart anywhere at home.

At home, she casually lets out gas, which bothers her boyfriend, leading her to wonder if she's being insensitive.

A clarification from OP:

OP distinguishes their current relationship from her past posts, clarifying that her present boyfriend, of over two years, is not the same as the previous post's subject.

Here's what people have to say:

With 10 to 20 daily farts being the norm, it's quite the time-consuming expectation!

Seems like their boyfriend is a Gas Police... LOL!

His toilet-exclusive fart policy definitely takes the cake for the oddest quirks.

To fart or not to fart, that is the question!

Woopsies, there may be a case where OP is TA...

It takes the fun out of the relationship!

Yeah, it depends on the person you are planning to spend the rest if your life with...

No villain here, just a lot of gas!

They should find a partner who adores them —farts and all!

Fart dance supremacy.

If their pungent performances become routine, it may be best to leave the room, however!

We're divided between "It's just a fart!" and "Don't do it in front of other people, it's disgusting!"

Home, sweet home—where farts find their freedom!

What if you cannot hold it in, right?

Gas incompatibility is a thing, apparently.

A simple solution: just do it in an another room, OP.

All about fart-iquette.

A true test of love?

The silent ones are the nastiest—let's face it!

Yeah, it does sound silly.

At least it keeps us entertained!

It won't kill you, anyway.

A petty but funny solution:

If you're alone, do whatever you want, but...

An important question:

We'll see!

Divorce problems, petty sibling fights, passive-aggressive MIL feuds—the r/AITA subcommunity seems to have it all, and we just added one to its endless list: the basics of fart-iquette. What do you think of this situation?
