I know I’m probably talking to a bunch of people who have been married or partnered up for quite some time, meaning all real romance likely left years ago. So believe when I say I was not just a little bit relieved to read this piece about farting in front of your significant other. We all do it, intentionally or not, and frankly at a certain point life isn’t worth living if you’re not keeping it 100. Whether you fart in your sleep, or while fully awake and watching a movie, it happens. Now we just have actual expert-backed conclusivity that it ain’t all that bad.

The headline of this piece alone stopped me in my tracks. Today, Nadie Baird lets it all go in this telling tale of toxicity (yes, I do love alliteration, why do you ask?). It’s a warning sign to those of us on the periphery of toxic relationships, and a beacon of hope for others who are deeply in it.
