7 Things Not to Share with Your Boyfriend ...

Wow. I'm so glad that there are others here who feel the same way I do, and felt strongly enough to state so! as this article was starting to make me feel insecure, ... that is, like the way I was when I was when I was younger and made the mistake of dating egocentric, childish, male chauvinistic pigs who look upon a woman as only an arm-charm and "belonging" in either the kitchen or the bedroom!!!! After wasting nearly half my life with guys who only wanted me to look pretty all the time, be ever so ladylike (and never human), and be only a sex symbol, I've finally found the sexiest guy of all who loves me with or without makeup and loves to hear about my vulnerabilities and insecurities, ... not to exploit them but so that he can feel closer to who I really am, so he can comfort me, support me and raise me back up to a level of confidence about myself that I deserve to feel, as I do for him when he shares his private feelings and letdowns. As a human being gets older, guess what, your digestive system doesn't work so well with all the toxins in our food (pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified poisons changing and destroying our intestinal bacteria), water, air, environment affecting them. Just listen to old people, they seem constantly focused on their poop! That's because they wish they could just fart and go poop more often! and that's because they'd feel better getting those toxins out of their body faster. Pooping less than once a day is NOT healthy, and it takes a lot of effort nutrition-wise to figure out what will work healthily in the long term to get your body regular. My point is, if you can't speak to your partner about your poop or happen to fart , you're in for a very unhappy, lonely, senior life. As people grow older, friends and relatives die, and because of many circumstances, you don't get out as often and you have no one to talk to about private matters. If you cannot feel comfortable talking to the one you love most about your health (poop, menstrual cycle, WHATEVER!!!, etc.), because he feels you would be unsexy, than he is NOT the right lifetime partner for any woman. While sex is great! There's a whole lot more to life than sex! The part where the article says the man is going to worry whether he lived up to the ex .. well, how about the man learning some communication skills and admitting that's how he feels if he is being oversensitive about the discussion or in case the woman may have been insensitive. My boyfriend loves hearing old stories; it turns him on. But of course, following it up with telling him he's the best EVER!!!! and how sexy he is, etc. and following it up with some hot sex certainly lets him know I mean it! (and guess what, he has no reason to feel this insecurity!) And the part of sharing friend's secrets... again, it really depends upon the maturity of the MAN you're with and whether he's decided that he's truly committed to his relationship with the woman being the best thing in his life and if he values that partnership enough to be above all others. Without that, you don't have much of a lifetime partnership, do you? If you must fear that your guy is going to blab to your girlfriend's guy, and he can't discuss what bothers him first and get on the same page about values, need I say more?! It sounds like the person who wrote this article hasn't experienced true intimacy and trust between two people. Not disrespecting... I hadn't before I met my special guy and may have given the same advice. Not until you meet a truly special person who has YOUR best interest at heart, will you even know what it is like, not even in your wildest dreams! But really, ... Don't you think a better article would be for men to learn how to get over their insecurities in relationships such as learning to be comfortable with a woman as a full-fledged human being, .. that a woman is not just a sex symbol, .. to learn not to let discussion about health & relationships etc overshadow the attraction factor, because there is no reason for it to do that! -- they are separate issues and a mature person can separate the two, ... and that being "human" with the sharing of the human condition (whatever it may be at the moment) is not unsexy! Perhaps if a man spoke more about his health issues, the woman would be able to help him avoid dying from prostate and colon cancer and a lot of other health issues affecting men who hide their private poop issues!! Love the whole person. It doesn't get more simple than that! Geez!

Oh this is so ridiculous. I've been with my boyfriend for over 2 years now and I'm almost 19 and he's almost 20. At the start of the relationship, yes I didn't fart or poop in front of him or tell him my passwords or go on about my flaws or any of these things. But as you become more of a duo instead of two individuals you start to relax and share intimate details such as periods, exes, bodily functions and sometimes farts just slip out! I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome so I have always been a gassy person and I used to come home with dreadful tummy aches after being at his because I'd hold my wind in all day!! Eventually I told him why I had such a swollen and painful tummy and he laughed and told me to just fart. From then on if I need to fart I just do it!! We've shared a tooth brush if I forget mine or vice versa but I wouldn't not bring mine because he has one! But I don't feel grossed out by using his. We've pooped in front of each other and personally it doesn't bother me. At first a little awkward but were comfortable on all these topics now. He knows my passwords and my bank details and I know his. We know each others salaries and savings and I see no problem with it. On many occasions he's gone to the bank for me or I've let him borrow my bank card for the day as he's low on cash til payday! It's called TRUST and being comfortable. I'm not saying everyone should share bank details and passwords but everything else you SHOULD feel comfortable doing if your relationship is as good and as united as you say it is!!

I am not a girly girl. I am not feminine. I hate shopping. I don't gossip. I give precisely zero fucks about most things that girls love. There's nothing wrong with the lady-like ladies, I'm just not one of them. If my man wanted a lady, he wouldn't have gone for the airsoft-playing, rock-climbing, t-shirt wearing mud-runner. That said, everything is relative to your relationship.

This list is more disgusting than the bodily functions it describes. Everyone has different tolerance levels for that sort of stuff. Telling women specifically to hold it in and be "ladylike" is a tad bit old-fashioned. Most people don't like to be farted on, but....GUESS WHAT EVERYONE!! WOMEN HAVE INTESTINES!

I believe that any relationship functions well within certain parameters. And it also depends a lot of WHO exactly is in the relationship with WHO ! Farting, pooping, clearing phlegm from your throat, cleaning up your nose, releasing gases from your both sides . . Come on people ! We are in the third millennium , we are civilized people and I believe that the person you are in relationship with deserves all the respect in behavior and attire. Me as a woman I am in a relationship for almost 11 years and I have NEVER done that in front of my man! It's about the respect I have for him but first the respect I have for myself. Imagine we spend a romantic night out, wearing our best clothes, make up and perfume and i start behaving like cave woman. Isn't life difficult enough to start disgusting each other at home ? It is not difficult to educate ourselves , it is not a sign of lack of intimacy not sharing my farts with my man ! I want him to experience grace and manners and beauty with me not my unrestrained bodily functions !

crap... Me and my girl share everything....and we're perfect
