Why was this downvoted? Dont see whats wrong with it and also she wrote "hopefully"

It's FML.

For some reason, FML has the saltiest people on this site. Say anything and you'll most likely get downvoted for some reason. Just like this comment will probably get downvoted to hell.

Finally someone said it #150

Well some people also can't stand blood, sight of smell. One of my friends faints if he sees it or smells it so he is a bit skittish around any type of bleeding situation.

I was just going to say this everyone has phobias doesn't make them a bad person.

Phobias of bodily functions?

I agree with you my brother faints at the sight of blood

Well it wasn't like she was asking him to change her tampon, she just mentioned it. That isn't a fear of blood, that's just plain ignorance and immaturity.

Well when guys assume it, he’s being a bitch

The education system has failed you. I'm sorry

He's not specialised yet but I'm guessing not!! I have no idea how he would have handled the obs and gynae placement he would have likely had to do at some point.

seriously?? wow I've never heard of that..

We Brits call them Periods too.

Speak for yourself, I don't know any British person who calls it a period.

As a Scot, I can confirm we just call them periods in the Highlands. Nicknames can be Aunt Flo (Aunt Flo is visiting me), Mother Natures Gift, The Red Sea, The Painters (the painters are in). I've been around all of Scotland and I've never heard any other name for periods, other than a period, or occasionally, menstruating/menstrual cycle.

I believe they mean hearing the word period in reference to the end of a sentence

It's not like he has to handle the blood himself or even see it.

Even if he was genuinely grossed out by it there was no reason to react so idiotically. He couldn't even see or touch it, if it's that bad how does he cope with the idea that there's blood circulating around his girlfriend's body too?

Er, seeing as we ladies DO bleed from our ******'s every month, I'm pretty sure that would make us sympathetic towards each other rather than disgusted.

To follow your analogy through... what if a rich person went to a poor person's home, found out there were a few bugs in the next room that the poor person was doing their best to catch and dispose of, and threw a massive childish fit about it. Is that okay?

Phobias aren't always logical I have no problem with blood but some of my phobias are hard to control people can be very vicious about it.

But when you come across your phobia do you behave with maximum insensitivity to the person triggering it or do you gently explain and remove yourself from the situation?

It triggers an intense fear reaction but after I would explain.

I know quite a few women who are grosed out by periods thiers included.

What so they shout 'EW' and leap away in terror every time they change their tampon? Do you think this lady would have still posted this FML if her boyfriend had told her it was a debilitating phobia for him and had behaved this way around blood before? I think you're trying way too hard to explain away his immaturity.

No one shouted ew or leap away he just made a biose and fell of the bed. I honestly doubt she asked him to explain and he didn't want to argue. But i am interested that you think women can leap away from thier own vaginas.

noise

Metalcrazed, they were referring to the fact that you claimed you knew women who are so phobic of blood that they're afraid of their own periods. The point being... How is that possible? Would they panic every time they went to the bathroom? It makes no sense.

since when do phobias make sense?
