So here's the thing. I used to use pads for my periods but recently was able to start using tampons. In comparison, tampons work 10 times better for me, especially when I'm outside. Say like at work or traveling. My husband Ryan hates them. He never truly gave a reason other than just he doesn't feel comfortable with me using them. I didn't think it was a big deal at first. He said he hates a lot of stuff that I do but puts up with it. Except for this. He asked that I go back to using pads but I made it clear it's my body and I get to decide. He threw away some tampons he had access to. And I was getting upset but to keep peace I just bought a box and hid it away from him. Somehow he found out and threw it away. I didn't find out till I had my period yesterday and realized I had no tampons to use. I was tired and too stressed. I just yelled at him after he admitted to throwing away the box. He argued that I already knew how it made him feel about this stuff and yet still decided to keep it around. I lost it and told him he had no right to do this and told him to get over himself already. He stared at me and almost about to tear up or something then walked out. He later went on about how we as a couple should take each other's discomfort into consideration and said he already tried to speak to me about these tampons yet I brushed him off and insulted him and verbally abused him. He also said that if I insist on using them that I should do it while I'm outside the house. But I said it won't happen again. I feel bad for how it played out but I was just at my wits end and in so much pain I lashed out. Did I go too far here? Does he have a valid point or not?
Oh my god, you're married to a self-righteous narci- or your boyfriend, whoever it is, self-righteous, narcissistic, uh, and delusional, and, you know, and a snowflake. No, no, no, he has no right to tell you what to do what so-
You questioning whether you're in the right or not shows that you need to leave because you're 100% in the right and he's making you feel like you're in the wrong. He's not on his period, you're on your period, so tell him shut the fuck up. Why is this even a conversation?
Yeah, I heard that if you leave it in too long it can like cause toxic shock or some sort of shit I don't know if that's true or not But yeah, I thought that might be the angle he's going at it with and then he's just like being controlling and a dick So yeah Drop him
Wow, and here I thought he was going to be coming at it from the angle of, hey honey, I don't want you to use tampons because they've been found to cause cancer because of the bleach and the chemicals, but he's just weird and a snowflake and a narcissist? Who's the guy?
You're 100% on the money with it's your body your choice, right? And if he's going to be a dick about it, he ain't worth it. Also, who has an aversion to tampons? It's not like he's using them.
