Let me preface this by saying I (26M) know I’m the asshole in this situation I just need advice how I can get better. I grew up in a very strict old school house and my family and I weren’t very open with each other. We didn’t fart or burp in front of each other and if we did we said excuse me immediately and moved on.
Now that I started dating, my girlfriend (25F) will let huge farts out while we’re laying in bed and she says she knows I’m judging her for it. I don’t mean to be rude I’m just not comfortable with that and although I don’t like it, I know it’s a completely normal bodily function. How do I get better dealing with something that makes me feel uncomfortable since I’ve had so many years of being taught that it was gross and not right.
Again, I know I sound crazy and stupid but I can tell it’s bothering her and I just want to be better for her.
