My boyfriend says my periods are disgusting, specifically MY periods. Not anyone else’s. He has had three serious girlfriends before me and he said that they all had normal periods and that mine are abnormal. Never in my life before have I felt like there is anything wrong with my periods at all. I don’t particularly suffer with them but they are quite heavy and I don’t wear tampons, usually period knickers or pads, so occasionally I will leak in bed. I have always felt lucky not to be dealing with things like endometriosis like some of my friends because they really suffer, but that is the opposite of me. So, I’m just really confused by him saying this. He says it with a tone of humor but I know he means it as he refuses to sleep in a bed with me when I’m on and if I ever leak and he’s around he will make a huge deal out of it and will always mention that he has never known a girl to leak how I do before. It has made me so self-conscious, I never worried about my periods at all, now I dread the week that I am due on because I know that I basically give him the ick for five days. Do other women leak a lot? Is this a him problem?
Well it’s certainly not a you problem, or a period problem. It sounds like it is entirely a him problem. He sounds problematic. Your periods are likely to be part of your life for a lot longer than this man is. They are an unchangeable part of you and they are not disgusting. Nobody’s period is disgusting, no matter how heavy it is, no matter how often they leak, no matter what. This man is a missed period himself and he needs to grow up.
While David and Victoria have continued to show public affection for their eldest son by liking his posts and featuring him in their own, they have remained silent on the vow renewal. Neither they nor Brooklyn’s brothers, Cruz and Romeo, interacted with any of the event’s photos online – a noticeable departure from their usual public support.
