JAKARTA - For some people, defecating in front of a couple may be something that is embarrassing or disrespectful. However, who would have thought that this act that was considered disgusting could actually be a sign of a healthy and strong relationship?

According to Michael Sartain, a relationship expert interviewed by Scary total, farting in front of your partner is not only about physical comfort, but also reflects deep emotional comfort and closeness in relationships.

"Disposal of the wind near your partner is a conscious signature that you feel safe and comfortable in that relationship," Sartain said, quoted from the New York Post page.

"This shows that you don't feel the need to hide the human side," he added.

A survey conducted by Mic supports the statement. The survey found that about 29% of couples started to feel comfortable enough to fart in front of each other after two to six months of a relationship.

According to Sartain, when a person can joke or relax about small things like farting, it is a sign that the relationship is already at a high level of trust.

"You no longer feel the need to keep your image or pretend to be perfect. It is a rare and very important form of honesty in a long-term relationship," he explained.

He also emphasized that small moments like these should be part of an important milestone in relationships. Over time, healthy couples will feel comfortable enough to show their vulnerable side, including things that are socially considered taboo or embarrassing.

But for many people, especially women, farting in front of a partner is still difficult because of social pressure that requires looking elegant and perfect.

"If it's just because the fart of the relationship can be damaged, maybe the real problem is not farting, but the lack of acceptance or deeper interest," said Sartain.

He added that if couples have been together often, spend quality time, and establish regular closeness, then farting should not be a big problem.

"Healthy relations are built on the basis of comfort, acceptance, and honesty. If you can accept your partner's small habits, including farts, that's a sign that you have reached the true level of intimacy." he concluded.

So, if one day your partner farts in front of you, don't make it live. It could be, it's a sign that he feels quite comfortable and confident.
