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 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.

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)

Not all guys are that lucky not to have periods

Actually, I'm fairly certain any normal human man cannot have periods. Just saying.

I'm fairly certain that transmen who haven't began to transition yet exist #51

"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.

Well if the person is a man, then the body that they have is a man's body.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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