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
I agree, your life sucks 24 061

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!

my ex used to love it when I was on my period bc I dont talk much when I am

19: Everyone is distance. Mine are very manageable now so hey lucky us! But before I was on the pill my periods could be awful. The cramp was absolutely crippling. My mum's periods are really painful too and so heavy that they've actually made her anaemic. Don't speak for everyone :)

I'm glad this "all women are crazy 1/4 of their lives" is a sexist myth. If it were true, then women shouldn't ever have power over others. Unless you have the rare uncontrollable severe menses, you can control your actions regardless of how wonky you feel. No other emotional disturbance gets a walk. Why should one that's predictable do so?

Periods suck ass. OP if your partner doesn't want to support you during your time of the month, then he will most likely not support you through any tough times you go through. You're better off ending your relationship now and finding a new partner before your relationship ends up in tatters and you getting hurt.

I actually like my period. It's a friendly reminder each month and I feel great after. I honestly want people to stay the hell away from me on the first day or two since the pain and bloating make me irritable and tired.

I've had cramps so bad I just have to curl up and put pressure near that area to help. ;( once I take Advil it's more manageable.

They should make an app that tracks when your boyfriend is going to be an asshole and then you can tell him to download that just so you know when to stay the hell away from him

This comment isn't just something to brush off. It demonstrates an underlying disrespect for her and her moods and emotions and writes them off as being hormonal when they aren't necessarily.
