While laying down to watch TV together, the startling topic of “farting” became a topic of interest. Apparently, flatulence is a natural-occurring event, so it should be deemed as acceptable in a relationship to NOT try to hold it in when you’re together. At least, according to some recent comments. This out-of-the-blue idea practically begged the question… “How close is too close?” Let’s weigh in…
Honesty. You’re in a great relationship if you can learn to be open and honest with one another. Just the right amount of close.
Too honest. Yes, there is such a thing. For instance, always tell a girl she looks better the next time you see her while she’s sick in bed. It’s a complete downer to hear otherwise. Too close.
Tweezing your eyebrows in front of your boyfriend. When you’re getting ready to go out, sometimes you just need a few more minutes to pluck the strays. Completely acceptable – just try not to spend your whole night on this task.
Popping a zit in front of your boyfriend. Sorry girls, but you can go to the bathroom to get rid of those suckers. Too close!
Calling each other before going out. It’s always healthy to have separate nights to hang out with your friends. As a courtesy, it’s perfectly fine to call or text each other to say you’re about to go out, so at least they know you won’t be available to talk all night.
Checking in with each other when you’re out with your friends. The only people you should have to check in with are your parents (though, since you’re in college, even that’s a stretch). Unhealthy.
What do you think? How close is too close?
