Why is it that boys are obsessed with bodily functions?
My boyfriend seems to think it is funny to pass wind in public or worse, right in my direction. I tell him it offends me, but he just laughs it off. What can I do to stop him from disrespecting me in this way?
answer:
The eternal allure of the bottom burp. I’d bet my intestinal tract that he doesn’t realise you view his emissions as a pungent statement of disrespect. What do you do after he laughs off your objections? The next time he dismisses your concerns, restate them then and there in a calm, measured way. If he dismisses you again, that’s when the disrespecting begins and you’re entitled to walk away. If this doesn’t give him a reality check, put this transgression into the bigger relationship picture in terms of his failure to respond to what you feel is a legitimate concern. Laughing gas this ain’t.
