I am wondering if anyone would break-off a relationship because the person you were seeing passed-gas. Or do you think that someone used that as a excuse because they wanted out of the relationship anyways. But, thy could not come up with a reason to get out? What do you think. I know it is a off the wall topic. ... But everyone has gas at one time or the other.. It is a legit reason to end a relationship?

LOL. This is too much. It could be that the person was actually feeling more comfortable around the other. Then again I have met some people who don't think anything of that. Just part of life. I for one would never do that in front of someone I just met. Or someone I have know for a long time unless i just could not help it. :)

True. I was raised the same way. But, lets say that it did happen. I do not see why it is a reason to break up with someone. So do you think they were just looking for a reason to end the relationship? What do you think? I have heard the comfortableness factor before.

I would have to know more about the person. As I am fond of saying "More accurate information is required for an adequate response" :-)

I agree with you. I am thinking that the one person could not come up with a good reason to break it off. Ridiculous!!! That is what it is.

well if you ask me, that guy has a very lame excuse to break up with the girl. he doesnt love the girl in the first place if he breaks it up with her for that excuse.. hmmm.. the girl doesnt deserve her anyway.. she should find somebody better who loves her fully and accepts her imperfection. why cantthat guy be man enough to tell the girl that she doesnt love anymore, that he never really loved her and though that he did.. duhh.. i hate those guys with such lame excuse!hehehe

Well the way that I understand the story.. is the girl passed the gas. It only happened the one time. after they were seeing each other for several weeks. and then the relationship was over. So that is why I am thinking that he wanted to break up with her, it was the only excuse that he had.

Yes i am not liking lame excuses right now.. I think she deserves better then that lame guy!

If anything I would be the one getting dumped. Well I can see two sides to this. On the one hand, everybody does it, so why would you dump somebody for such a thing? On the other hand, if you have really good control, and are sincerely disgusted by somebody who doesn't, I guess I could see it.

Glad you can see both sides. Your very opened minded. I am stuck on the factor that everyone does it. Why use it as a excuse. When It just happened once..... Supposedly

I don't think its a legit reason to end a relationship, my husband does that all the time, and I'm still with him...lol. I think after awhile you just get immune to it, and it doesn't bother you that much anymore. He didn't do it while we were still dating tho, he waited till after we were already married to spring one on me, at first I couldn't believe he did it, now, its funny...at first I hated it..lol. He says its a part of life, everybody has to do it sometime...

I think if you break up with someone because they passed gas, then you weren't really all that interested in them in the first place. It can be disgusting, my husband does it all the time and I get so irritated sometimes and yell at him to go to another room when he does it. But I've done it in front of him as well, both on accident and on purpose. It's embarassing when it happens by accident.

I wouldn't necessarily say he was looking for a reason to dump her. If he was looking for a reason he could have come up with a much stupider one, ya know. I think most likely the attraction wasn't really there, and when she passed gas he became grossed out and wasn't able to get over it.

I agree. so that has me thinking that that "he" was looking for a reason to dump her and did not have one... Weird things that happen in this world!

I wouldn't break off a relationship because someone had a gas issue. If the person was a genuinely good person, this wouldn't have any effect on my friendship with this friend, boyfriend or significant other. Anyone who has this problem is safe with me since I lost my sense of smell in an accident. I wouldn't have a clue if someone did a smelly one around me.

Sorry to hear that you lost your sense of Smell. I know that effects how we can taste things as well! I just think that he broke up with her because of other reasons. and this is a lame reason.

If he is stating this simple reason to break off a relationship then he was not really intrested in her or loving her truly these days and i can tell that when a person is not able to tolerate their lover in such things cannot live a happy life this would surely end in a divorce or something.It is good for that girl to leave this guy as he is not worth and deserve to live with this girl at all.. As i told you this is not at all a legit reason but stupid reason for that guy , he has made himself a fool!

I do not think that using something so natural as gas as an excuse to end a relationship is anything but a fool's way out. It's really very upsetting when something like this is said and even though it has never been said to me I know I used to feel the pressure of it might happening. That a boy might find it disgusting. However, my fiance does not and did not the first time I have farted. I've even gone so far as to fart on his lap, and yet the only one's who were bothered by it were hypocrites I used to call friends. Anyway, before I start opening a can of worms i don't want to taste, I'll just say this, No it's not a legit reason, anyone who does use it is clearly hiding something, and the person receiving the excuse is better off without him or her!

I think that it was a lame reason for him to break up with her. I think that it is a normal body function. Not with throwing away a whole relationship.

I don't think so. It seems to be a hard excuse. Well if a person cannot accept who you are then that;s not for you. good luck.

I think it would be just an excuse. if is about passed gas than why he or she wanna be with you as first although she or he knew it. Depends on situation that whether is legit or not.

My goodness I would think if the relationship was worth love, respect and trust a burp or a fart now and again should be fairly trivial. That's just me!!!

Its not just you. It is the point that I am trying to make. He wanted to break up with her , and that was the only thing he had. So he used that. Normal body functions are not a reason to break up!

if i really liked a person, I certainly would not end it simply because they farted. If that were the reason someone used for breaking up with me then i'd have to believe there was more to it. pretty lame exuse.

I agree, Very Lame indeed. So he had another reason.. maybe he wanted to be free to date another?

Well if its like on the first date it might really gross the other person out but if your actually 'dating' the person, gosh no. I think if someone broke up with someone for that it is just an excuse and not the 'real' reason.

I agree. I do not think that the reason is the real reason, it is too childish and immature of a reason.

Reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld with Jerry and the nose picking incident. Anyway, as a girl, I would say, no, because men are a little bug more likely to do that sort of thing. I'd probably smack him playfully and ask him to say excuse me. But I think if a guy had a girl who did that, he might be a bit more turned off. It depends if they seem remorseful or know if you heard it!

So you think that if the guy heard the sound,. that would be a big turn off to him.. Interesting. Thanks for responding!

Those kind of people don't accept the reality of life. Passing gas is a natural thing to human being. Even animals pass gas. What do you want to do about it? Keep it and explode later? hehehehe Seriously speaking, it really depends on the situation. If the person did it to embarrass you in public, then BREAK up is a possibility. But if it's just an accident, it's a forgivable act. NO worries about it. It's as if nothing happened.

I agree. this is not a reason for a break up, that is why I am thinking that he did not want to be in the relationship with her. and that was hi only excuse... maybe he wanted to date someone else... and was immature on how to break up...

Please, I let it rip no matter who is around. My fiancee stated that he was shocked the first time he heard me belch in front of him. It's a natural function. You can be polite with it yes on some occasions. Others are just unexpected and can leave you embarassed if that sort of thing makes you ashamed. Personally, I think it's a sorry excuse to break off a relationship with someone. That's like saying, if your big toe is shorter than the rest of your toes, we can't be together. If someone is that picky and pathetic, don't waste your time on them. In fact, call them and fart in the phone!!! Use a whoopie cushion if you have to. Just throw it in their face that they're an idiot. One day that person will be on a date and something even worst will happen to them. Oh yes... bad food maybe? Keep your head up high and realize that whoever that is is a moron and they're obviously too pressured and sure of themselves. Somewhere along the line that pedistal will be demolished. Let them feel the burn then!
