1. Cry
Crying shows vulnerability, which is why we always hate when tears fall in front of others. However, your boyfriend is the one person who will always be there for you, even if you're overreacting. If he truly cares for you, he won't feel awkward about the tears. He'll do whatever he can in order to stop them, because he wants you to be happy. So don't be ashamed of crying in front of him, even if it's over a commercial.
2. Snore
When your boyfriend stays the night, you want him to think that you look like and angel while you sleep. Snoring ruins that illusion, but your body just can't help it. If you end up snoring, don't worry that it'll drive him away. Yes, it might make him invest in earplugs, but his happiness over cuddling with you will outweigh any annoyance over the snoring.
Frequently asked questions
3. Snort
If you laugh so hard that you end up snorting, don't be embarrassed. If he's the one who made you laugh, he'll be flattered. Even if you're giggling over something on the television, he'll love seeing you so happy. Never be ashamed of your laugh.
4. Watch Old Videos
Don't run and hide when your friends try to play him an old video or show him pictures of you in your younger days. Yes, back then you weren't the attractive girl you are now, but he won't care about that. If anything, he'll be happy to see how much you've grown.
5. Fart
This might sound gross, but being able to fart in front of each other is important. You don't want it to become a habit, but if it has to happen, it has to happen. It's natural, so you shouldn't be embarrassed about it.
6. Make a Mess
If you spill sauce on your shirt or knock over a glass of water, don't freak out. Everybody makes mistakes. It's healthy for your boyfriend to see that you're an actual human, just like everybody else. If he makes the mistake of thinking you're a perfect woman who never does anything wrong, then he's in for a surprise. He needs to love you, flaws and all.
7. Talk to Your Parents
When your boyfriend meets your parents, they might bring out the baby pictures or tell him stories that you wish they wouldn't mention. However, all parents say embarrassing things. Don't get mad at them for it. Your boyfriend will understand and will most likely be entertained. It's good for him to get a better glimpse of your family, anyway.
Your boyfriend won't think less of you after seeing you do these embarrassing things. If he does, then he's not worth your time or your love. Are you embarrassed of doing any of these things in front of your boyfriend or do you do them all the time without a care?

Isabella: Krystal I think we all need that reminder from time to time - don't forget your friends and family! My boyfriend travels a lot for work so he's not always there, but we always maintain contact no matter what :)
Chelsea: Love this! If a man can't accept you for everything you are, gross or not, you shouldn't be with him.
Jennapher: Yeah, I hate to say it, but your bf will not always have your back. When you find "the guy" he will have your back most of the time, but by then you will know what to expect. I have agree with Erin, unless you're Edith and Archie Bunker, you will not pass gas, discuss digestive issues or IBS with your bf...unless you want a new bf! Guys are funny like that: when they all get together drink beer, pee like a racehorse, fart and yell at the TV, they don't care. But when he's with you, it's a whole 'nother story...and crying? I have had guy friends who were understanding when I needed a good cry, were comforting. Boyfriends, however, seem to be another story. I know there are many many guys out there who know what to do when we cry! But my experience with bf's has been they didn't really know how to react or respond to crying. They kind of get caught between not wanting to be condescending, or over-reacting. I know lots of you will disagree with me, but guys are conditioned not only NOT to cry, but to NOT like crying, so it makes them uncomfortable when we cry. And when you find the guy who just holds you and hugs you and doesn't say a word and let's you cry into his shoulder, marry him lol...
Erin: I disagree with the farting. My bf and I never fart in front of each other. Never discuss number 2 either. Not a subject for the person you have sex with
Daisy: 1m ago i been with my husband for 2 years and in 2 years he's only heard me fart ONCE!! lol and that was on… See more Replyk Like
Jenn203: If you fart I don't see the wrongness in it.. We all have issues and stuff to deal with
Adea: Im with a guy and it hasnt been a long time since but we're comfortable with a lot of things..an we are trying to be i think coz we love each other, crying for ex is not a big deal anymore..ofc I dont wanna be crying in front of anyone but when he's there..i feel fine and free to be myself..he hugs me and comforts me..he is just amazing..but farting..hasn't happened and i hope it wont haha(must be awkward)!
Daisy: i been with my husband for 2 years and in 2 years he's only heard me fart ONCE!! lol and that was only because he forced it out of me by tickling the crap out of me.
Isabella: Lol the farting thing - and burping for that matter - gets annoying even though I laugh at it most of the time.. Men!!
Daisy: I don't mind the whole farting thing but it's pretty gross if you ask me. There's nothing wrong with just walking away for a sec (of course don't let the wiff follow you back to him) lol
