Communication in a Relationship
Do you "cut the cheese" in front of your boyfriend or girlfriend?
I've been in a relationship with my girlfriend for 8 months now and I'm still self conscious about letting "one go" in front of her. What's the etiquette on this? I have friends who fart in front of their girlfriends like they are living in a frat house still. I even know girls who "rip one" in front of their boyfriends like it's second nature. Whats the deal with this?

It's natural
Just do it. Everyone farts! If you are that scared to just sneeze and "accidently" let one rip and see how she reacts... then you'll know whether or not she can handle it

If the relationship is really young or your partner is easily grossed out by bathroom humor, try to avoid it. If you've seen a few comedies together, you should probably be able to gauge their reaction to that sort of thing. If you're living together or spending a ton of time together, you're going to have to accept that it happens and be mature about it and either shrug it off or laugh and move on. If you're worried about offending your girlfriend, you can try to avoid the situation, but keep in mind that it's going to happen sometime and mature people can shrug it off as long as you don't make a huge deal of it.
My boyfriend and I are not generally toilet humor people. We're not offended by it, we just prefer other types of humor. I prefer that my boyfriend not have to think of me as a stinky person any more than is absolutely necessary. If I'm feeling gassy, I will go to the bathroom or try to get some privacy if possible. Maybe we could go take a quick walk instead of sitting in this quiet room? Maybe you shouldn't be lying down with your head in my lap right now? I try to avoid sex if I'm feeling really gassy. Usually sharing that you're feeling under the weather or a little queasy is a very very good excuse to not have sex. I just don't feel sexy if I'm trying not to fart.
The polite thing is to be discrete, avoid the situation if possible, and excuse yourself if you can't possibly deny that it happened. If your girlfriend is so grossed out that she never wants to see you again if you fart in front of her, you probably don't want to be dating her anyway.
(And if that's TMI, you probably shouldn't be reading a question about farting.)

It depends on the relationship and the sense of humour of the two. I know one couple that the girl farted on the guy during their first date by accident.They both laughed themselves silly, and it was considered okay from there on out.
It took me a couple months. It wasn't until I started living with my boyfriend that I started being more comfortable with it. I know that for me, there was joking that went on before it happened that made me know that it was okay. he would poke my belly, and I was so "no, don't do that, you'll make me fart", which of course meant that he would do it more, and I would laugh even harder. The fact was that he was saying that it was okay, and funny, if I did.
In the morning after sleeping (actually sleeping) together, he would recall how I farted and it woke up and confused the cat. I would get this mortified look on my face and say I was so sorry, and he would laugh at me and tell me it was the funniest thing he's ever seen/heard.
You get cues from your partner about whether it's okay to fart. Some times are not really ever acceptable though. In front of their parents, during sex (especially oral) and during special ceremonies are not okay times to fart. Social rules in public places still apply.
I hope that your partner has a good sense of humour and you can both laugh about these sorts of things. The more time you guys spend together, the more it's bound to happen, and the more you need to embrace it as something comical and a potential moment to bond and build lasting funny memories about. (one of my friends once chased her bf around the house with a tampon screaming "I'll stick a cork in it if you don't stop! HILARIOUS!)
Wow... the way I make it sound, farting in front of your partner could actually be good for your relationship. Hmmm....
