I’ve been going through listening to old episodes of THT and Morgan is always talking about how she doesn’t like to fart in front of her fiancé. So, please, heed this warning!
I (39f) have been with my girlfriend (also 39f) for just over 2 yrs. We have yet to purposely fart in front of each other. Sure a toot here and there while the other is sleeping or in another room. She keeps telling me “I will if you will”!
Last week my girlfriend had been suffering from abdominal pain for several days. To the point of not even being able to g able to sit still, because it was hurting so bad. But she’s a stubborn one. It got to the point on the 4TH DAY at 1:30 in the morning that I finally said enough. The evening before I was trying to convince her to at least take her to urgent care, because they would for sure test for an infection. Nope.
So at 1:30 in the morning on the 4th day she conceded. She said through gritted teeth “ok, I’ll drive myself.” I wanted to shake her, lol. I told her no and the went and woke up my kids and we took her to the ER.
My thoughts on guessing what was wrong with her were back and forth between bladder infection and hernia. Except up to that point she hadn’t had any type of a fever. Before any of the testing came back the male nurse was adamant that it was diverticulitis. I had only heard the word before, but didn’t know what it was. Basically it’s painful inflammation in the intestines. Well, the male nurse was right, my girlfriend had diverticulitis. So they sent her home after giving her some good pain meds and TWO antibiotics to take for ten days.
So back to the part where I said her and I don’t fart in front of each other. The week prior to that, as a joke I had been thinking about looking up “side effects from holding in farts”.
There I was the day after my girlfriend goes to the ER and gets diagnosed with diverticulitis, looking up “Possible health concerns from holding in your farts”. Well, I’ll be damned; one of the health issues was in fact DIVERTICULITIS!!!!
I took a screenshot of the info that I found and sent it to my girlfriend. We both had a good laugh and went back and forth saying things like “ok, but mine are stinky” and “yeah, but mine are loud”. We obviously can’t say for sure if that’s the reason behind her diagnosis. It’s also one of those things related to diet and lifestyle. But we were able to find a little humor in the situation.
This week she’s in FL visiting her brother, so actually farting in front of each other is on the back burner.
Moral of the story…. Morgan, don’t hold in your farts!!!!

When we were kids, I had a friend stay the weekend at my house and my younger brother had a huge crush on her. By Sunday afternoon, he was sick to his stomach and seemed to have appendicitis, so my mom rushed him to the ER.
After he was examined and asked a few questions, the doctor kind of laughed and asked my brother if he needs to fart. My brother shook his head yes, the doctor said “Let er rip” and my brother farted for like 5 minutes nonstop and was able to go home. He’d been holding them in all weekend to not embarrass himself in front of my friend lol
My parents still refer to that ER visit as “The highest gas bill” they’ve ever received 😂
