The point in a romantic relationship at which one person farts in the other's presence for the first time. Clearing the fart hurdle can be a very awkward, humorous, and/or freeing moment for either person in the relationship.
Example 1:

Man thinking to himself: "Dude you've got to clear the fart hurdle soon. She's really cool and you don't want to blow it, but these stomach pains are really uncomfortable."

Example 2:
Woman: fffffft
Man: What was that?
Woman: What? Nothing!?
Man: Did you just fart?
Woman: Yeah.
Man: Says nothing, but thinks to himself: "Thank God. Finally. I'm free."
