When to let it rip?

A few months ago I had written about the need to release some tension, but I couldn't do it in front of RedSox. Heck I can't do it in front of family.

As someone in the medical field, I am perfectly fine with patients farting. In fact, it's one of the questions I often asked while doing my surgery rotation. Farting is good for you. It means your bowels are working, and there isn't any GI obstruction.

But it is still embarrassing as hell. So when, if ever, is it ok to fart in front of your significant other?

For me, the answer is never. For RedSox, the answer is now.

Last night while lounging on the couch watching House, RedSox let one rip. I really wanted to laugh, but I held back and just said, "well, I'm glad your bowels are in working order."

I think he took that as an ok to continue. Later that night, he decided to pee with the bathroom door open.

I guess I'm ok with it, for now. But I'm pretty sure I can not return the actions.

I'd love to hear from your experience. Should I be ok with it by now?
