Today, I was cuddling with my boyfriend after a fight. I told him the reason I was so irritable is because I'm on my period. He yelped in disgust and nearly fell out of bed. Good to know I'm dating a man-child. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend clearly stated that I was "useless" when on my period. FML
Today, I called my fiancé just to tell him how much I love him, as a sweet gesture. He yelled at me for interrupting his video game and blamed my "neediness" on the fact that I'm menstruating. FML
Today, while I was at my boyfriend's house, I got my period. About an hour after I told him, he impatiently said, "Is it over yet?" FML
Today, I was on my period, so I felt a little emotional, and asked my boyfriend for some attention. He said he needed ten minutes to finish his game with his friend. I laid down on the floor and started crying hysterically. He broke up with me and left. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I've missed my period, and that I think I might be pregnant. He started panicking and ended up puking in the toilet. FML
Today, my boyfriend tried to rid me of my hiccups. As he'd screamed at me and I'd pissed my pants, I just burst into tears. FML
Today, I called my boyfriend and asked if he wanted to come watch a movie. He seemed eager, until I said I needed the company because my period had started. He then went dead silent, waited a few seconds before starting to fake-snore, then hung up on me. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were talking about being super heroes. He said I could be "The Period" because I'm a bitch. FML
Today, I was cuddling with my boyfriend and told him how smitten I was with him. He responded by giving me a wedgie. FML
Today, after an argument, my boyfriend called me a fart knocker and gave me a wedgie. Apparently, I'm dating an 10-year-old. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't understand why some people are so skittish about periods. Maybe it's because I'm a female and I have to deal with it, but some people seem to overreact.

I know the feeling OP, but hopefully he was just playing around and trying to make you forget about the fight you guys just had with a little humor.

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.

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.
Dale_shackleford 13
Phobias of bodily functions?
nameisname 12
I agree with you my brother faints at the sight of blood
OysterPearls 33
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.

Why do women use "am on my period" as an excuse to act like a bitch?

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

I used to vaguely know a guy at uni who would have done exactly this - he didn't let his long term girlfriend stay over if she was on her period. Not that he didn't want to have sex, just sleeping in his bed. We pointed out that he was being a complete dick and he kind of laughed it off in a 'hurr durr' way. They had been together since childhood so I think the girlfriend was hoping to change him, she just put up with it like oh silly boys hehe, what's he like, how a mother might talk about a horrible child. He's now a doctor!!
tishtashbat 16
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.
emokitty91 12
seriously?? wow I've never heard of that..
Mauskau 36
A guy I went to school with always hated the idea of periods, he'd freak out if you even mentioned the word period to him. He was part Canadian so I'm not sure how he would cope with that part of the world referring to full stops as periods.

We Brits call them Periods too.
9a_z1 11
Speak for yourself, I don't know any British person who calls it a period.
ZombieSazza 34
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

well that was a waste of cuddling

There are people who can't stand the sight or even the thought of blood. It doesn't help the case that bleeding from one's private parts isn't something that sounds appetizing. I mean, if a man bled from his penis every month there would be girls who would be disgusted by it, i'm sure.
yerawizardlizzy 27
It's not like he has to handle the blood himself or even see it.
9a_z1 11
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?
mezochan 29
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.

But some people just feel grossed out, you cant blame them. Its also really hypocritical to say that if you are also afraid or grossed out of the thought of bugs or something crawling around you when youre sleeping. Its like saying" you live in a middle class home, you dont have to worry about bugs as much as poor people do, and you dont see them complaining."
9a_z1 11
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?
metalcrazed 21
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.
9a_z1 11
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?
metalcrazed 21
It triggers an intense fear reaction but after I would explain.
metalcrazed 21
I know quite a few women who are grosed out by periods thiers included.
9a_z1 11
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.
metalcrazed 21
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.
metalcrazed 21
noise
mergeterge 24
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.
jocamo 24
since when do phobias make sense?
Mathalamus 25
Nice. Even I would just try to make it easier on her. I just have to figure out how, for the girl. There are no standard tips or actions. Every girl is different.
