Today, my boyfriend asked me to start using a period tracker app so I can tell him which week of each month he needs to "stay the hell away" from me. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boyfriend flipped out when he saw a period tracker app on my phone. According to him, chicks only use those when they want to know when they’re the most fertile so they can “baby trap” a man. I have irregular cycles. The app helps me know when I should or shouldn’t expect a period. FML
Today, my boyfriend is threatening to dump me if I don’t give him all the details of my menstruation so he can track my periods with an app on his phone. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that he could predict my periods because he keeps track of when I'm at my bitchiest each month. This wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't so accurate. FML
Today, I was showing the guy I like something on my phone. My period tracking app decided it was the perfect time to tell me that I need to stock up on tampons, because I'm getting my period tomorrow. FML
Today, I noticed that on the calendar in my boyfriend’s apartment, for every week of the months when I have my period are coloured in red and over them, in block capitals, he has written 'BEWARE'. FML
Today, my boyfriend clearly stated that I was "useless" when on my period. FML
Today, I went on a first date. We had the same phone, and we'd put them down next to each other on the table. I get a message and we both look. It’s my period tracker telling me to be careful, because the floodgates are opening. FML
Today, the moment after hitting "confirm payment" for my boyfriend's valentine gift (along with some sexy lingerie for the occasion) on a shopping app, my period tracker app popped up to let me know I'll be well into my period on the 14th. I'm getting cockblocked by mother nature herself. FML
Today, my boyfriend caught me in a lie about being on my period. He memorized my menstrual cycle, but still forgot that today is my birthday. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years told me I was being too obsessive. This is the guy who has gone through my phone two separate times and deleted all of my male contacts. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I would have responded with "if you ever ask that again, all of them."

He should man up and love you every day of the month. Besides, I don't get what guys get so freaked out about. A period means that you aren't pregnant! If I were a guy, I'd be thrilled every month to get this news!

Sounds like he needs to grow up and deal with it

that'd be good if it would keep him from being a dick at least once a month ahaha too bad.

That's kind of a douche thing for a guy to say to his girlfriend. Maybe he meant it as a joke, but it's still something that shouldn't be said. He should treat you with the same love and respect, no matter what time of the month it is

I've gotten really bad on my period before. Bad enough I warn people who easily set me off on a normal day to stay the hell away. Lol. Wait no, it's not "lol." Periods f*cking suck.
greeneyedx 23
And just a little uncomfortable? You must not have bad periods! I've had cramps so bad I couldn't move and could hardly breathe, cramps so bad I have to leave class, and cramps so bad I literally wanted to stab my uterus. I've had mood swings so intensely that it drives me nuts, and bled so heavily for so long that I became weak and tired.

Instead of being a jerk about having to deal with periods SECONDhand, he should be glad he doesn't have them. Guys underestimate how bad they can be and how lucky they are to not have them. (Notice I use can, they're not always horridly miserable)
IronMan_Mk43 20
Not all guys are that lucky not to have periods
Jared900DUmpling 30
Actually, I'm fairly certain any normal human man cannot have periods. Just saying.
IronMan_Mk43 20
I'm fairly certain that transmen who haven't began to transition yet exist #51
Jared900DUmpling 30
"Normal" human men. Biologically, someone who is yet to transition to the other gender is still their original gender. Think about it like this: just because a man goes out in drag, would you call him a woman? No, I thought not. A transsexual is not the other gender until hormonally they are the other gender.
IronMan_Mk43 20
Well if the person is a man, then the body that they have is a man's body.
IronMan_Mk43 20
Oh and there's a difference between gender and sex. And, seeing that I'm transgender myself, I will use anybody's preferred pronouns and refer to them as their gender they are - not their sex.

If he's so concerned about it, why doesn't he do it?! I don't keep track of my period, my husband does for me! LOL
redheadedmonster 24
So does mine! Lol
Nessco 36

Why is he a jerk for not wanting to be around someone who's grumpy and angry and possibly takes it out on him? If I were to get like that while on my period, I wouldn't blame my boyfriend one bit for not wanting to be around. For all we know, OP's period was very recent and she was a total bitch to her boyfriend and he's still upset about it, hence the not so nice request. Just because we can't help our mood swings while we're menstruating doesn't mean the people around us should be fine with dealing with us.
redheadedmonster 24
Totally agree! I tend to snap at my husband for no reason at all when I'm on my period. He puts up with it cause he loves me but I constantly apologize to him for being a bitch. Because he doesn't have to deal with it if he really didn't want to. I know I wouldn't want to deal with me if I had a choice lol.

I see it as if you can't be around someone on their period, why are you in a relationship with them. You are supposed to love them at their worst and help support them. If he can't be there when she's on her period, I have a hard time seeing the relationship going anywhere.
siggy_mcsigx 22
or maybe this is more about society being so quick to judge a woman who isn't mild mannered and easygoing and sweet as a psycho bitch....? just a thought .

If he can't handle her pain once a month, he doesn't deserve to have OP. It's not our fault we bleed and feel like crap.
just_killin_time 14
It is not your fault. And it's not his fault either, you know. And the world doesn't stop turning because someone is feeling bad or is on their period. And what kind of argument is this "if you can't handle me at my worst..." BS anyway? Love it when it's used in relation to this topic. Because if you think it through to the end you're pretty much saying something along those lines: "I am an independent person, an adult and I deserve respect." (which is true) "...buuuuuuut wehenever I'm on my period and I don't feel good I will not be responsible fo my actions. Everybody deal with it." Yeah....no.
DoomedGemini 38
If he can't handle op, their relationship isn't going anywhere. It doesn't matter if she gets super bitchy or anything like that. You can't take a few weeks off from being with your partner every month for the rest of your life. I tend to be more irritable and snap easier, so I do actually warn people I feel comfortable talking about it to. They do not, however, "stay the hell away" from me and I apologize with the warning as well as probably after the bout of anger passes. Maybe as I am crying.

Some of you still seem to be under the assumption that OP is only mildly grumpy during her period. Which, if that is the case, then yes, he's an ass. But we don't know that. Maybe OP goes batshit crazy on her period. Not many women do, but it does happen, I've seen it. If that's the case, I don't see why her boyfriend should be expected to put up with it. Being on your period and having uncontrollable mood swings is no excuse to treat someone like shit and expect them to be fine with it because "it's natural and I don't feel good".
BaDumTsss_fml 23
Should tell him to stay the hell away from you at all times
ughnamessuck 15
Seriously?! If he can't handle you at your worst he doesn't deserve you at your best!

That's something a crazy girl says before she burns your house down.

If you love someone, you would never give them your "worst" to "handle."
