It's your responsibility to share your boundaries with your partner and not just assume that they can read your mind. If you have discussed these functions (all part of everyday life) affect you and he doesn't seem to listen -- TAKE THE HINT! He doesn't respect you or is trying to get you to leave -- either way, quit beating a dead horse.
Quote for the day: Why is it? ... when a man says "whatever you want" he really means "choose something that will make you happy"; but when a woman says "whatever you want" she really means "you better be able to read my damn mind, or there will be hell to pay!" | |

| Opinions please - Is this normal!!!!! Posted: 1/18/2006 2:44:18 PM | .It sounds like he is really comfortable in your presence, which is good. It also sounds like you are not as comfortable in his presence, which may be good or not.
Also, you are lumping all three things together and making a mountain out of them instead of three molehills.
The spitting, well, a lot of us find that offensive no matter how long you've been together. I've seen it be more of a southern thing than not so maybe just a gentle reminder that you find it offensive might fix it.
Popping of zits - well if he's got that many of them that he's popping them in front of you, then maybe you can fix him up with a good skin cream meant for cleaning them up.
The farting - check to make sure that he hasn't got something like IBS that is causing extra gas and then either supply some gas relief pills or work on helping him change his diet so that he's not producing as much gas to start with.
This is to say of course, that you think he's a keeper. If he's not, save your energy!! | |

| Opinions please - Is this normal!!!!! Posted: 1/18/2006 2:49:08 PM | In my opinion there is no faster way to kill a romance .Its also very disrespectful twards you for someone to think this kind of thing is "ok " to do in front of you..not to mention just plain gross  | |

| Opinions please - Is this normal!!!!! Posted: 1/18/2006 2:50:00 PM | Just had an idea: Tell him he owes you $5 each time he farts audibly in your presense--$10 if you smell it.
I used to owe the ex $5 for each time I yelled "Holy sh*t!" when I saw Katie Holmes on TV. That was $165 well spent. (It was $10 if I yelled and drooled.) | |

| Opinions please - Is this normal!!!!! Posted: 1/18/2006 2:51:38 PM | Again i ask.... Don't girls ever pass wind.... What's the deal...not one mention of a woman passing the gass? When was it that women bodys stopped producing flatulance ?? | |

| Opinions please - Is this normal!!!!! Posted: 1/18/2006 2:52:28 PM | It's a bit much..(its made me giggle alot,though i guess you havent stop frowning)..let's see
He either feels comfortable with you...(if it does revolt you then tap his hand and say stop it..with a smile in your voice, a suggestion only if you feel comfortable? and at times when he's excessively doin so.)...OR>>Id say that he may of been on his own for quite a long time and may forget that his social habits have slackened over time and male oriented for far too long amonst his mates..
9 times outta 10 some men have always been oblivious, wait til he scratches his genitals and then shakes your parents hands when he meets them...they may just decide for you it's NOT goin to be an arranged marriage after all !
Heres one i made up guys and gals: 'The batchelor bogey'..: ) | |

Look at all these responses about farts! I'm so PROUD of all of you! | |

| Opinions please - Is this normal!!!!! Posted: 1/18/2006 2:56:59 PM | | Just buy him a butt muffler and a book on manners, then wait until he's picking a zit & whap the crap out of his hand & say, "oops, it's part of my personality". | |
|
| |
| Opinions please - Is this normal!!!!! Posted: 1/18/2006 2:58:56 PM | Wow! He's doing all of that, and you're not driven mad by it? Any other girl would be fukking his brains out
sorry...couldn't resist...it's gross | |
|
| Opinions please - Is this normal!!!!! Posted: 1/18/2006 2:59:09 PM | | OK, i looked at your profile. You're 19? So, he's probably about the same age? Well let me tell you, guys that age typically are not the most refined creatures around. He will (should?) mature with age. If you like the other aspects of him other than this, tell him it bothers you, and give it time. If you really can't stand it, there's plenty of fish out there... | |

Join in with your man. Attempt to hit the ultimate personal experience of farting in harmony with your man.
There's little things you can do to help. Compliment him on the noise & smell. Offer to apply a cheesegrater to any particularly problem spotty areas. Only when you acheive this level of togetherness can you advance on to the more intimate parts of your relationship such as toe nail biting & ass berry picking.
Enjoy each other to the full !! | |

| Opinions please - Is this normal!!!!! Posted: 1/18/2006 3:12:20 PM | If this behaviour bothers you, then you need to communicate that to him. After all, any good relationship is built upon communication from the get-go.
My feeling is that you probably won't enjoy being with this guy simply because your standards of what is acceptable in front of a girlfriend differ greatly from HIS.
Don't get me wrong...this behaviour isn't exactly suave at the beginning of a relationship. Once a couple feels more comfortable with each other, the odd fart/blemish squeeze may be permissable. But honestly...you need to be with someone you're comfy with. And regardless of how long you go out with him, I think you need to find someone who's not so comfortable doing "gross boy things" in front of their partner.
(If you try to change him too much, that's not fair to either of you...) | |
