Unromantic as it may sound, farting in front of each other is one of the most significant relationship milestones. I still remember the day the future Mrs. Beese told me I could "just push it out" rather than leaving the bed to go to the bathroom.
Maybe it's different for couples that start dating in college. There really are no boundaries between 'Dude and I, considering that the first time I saw him naked was when he got too drunk and I had to get him into the shower because he puked all over himself. After that, I didn't really see the point of hiding the fact that we perform biological functions.
I knew a guy in college who had one standard for judging whether a woman was a potential wife for him: if he couldn't picture her taking a shit, she was a candidate. And he meant one of those rough ones where you're grabbing the bowl and bearing down and maybe sticking your legs out. Everytime he'd date a girl, if it started to look serious, somebody would ask him, and usually it was "No, I can totally imagine her dropping one. He did eventually find the right woman, too.

Wow, someone needs to tell that guy that even his mom shits. And wait till he finds out about menstruation!
For the last 6 months I have slept in between my husband and my daughter, the latter of which appears to have inherited her daddy's ability to clear a room with a fart. Sigh.
The mister was so embarrassed the first time he farted in front of me. I about died laughing. His ex was very ..er.. anal about bodily functions being performed only in private.
