Shamed over my period
The situation is exactly what it says. I met up with someone I use to see/sleep with (we both are 27). I don’t recall my having my period in the past but he was also super chill with me being on it currently as I gave him the heads up. I was at the end of my week so I thought why not, I also hadn’t had sex in years so even more so.. why not with someone I trusted..
half way through he noticed im bleeding a lot now. I immediately ask if he wants to stop because im even a little freaked by how much. we stop and I proceed to profusely apologize. however, his entire demeanor changes. He stops talking to me, leaves me on the bed to hold myself and I feel so vulnerable. I keep apologizing but I can tell he is over it all.
as we leave I ask if I will see him again and he tells me to just text him that I got home. I never felt more humiliated, shamed and embarassed. I am also planning a doctors appt because the intense bleeding and clotting hasnt subsided, and I’m supposed to be off my period the following day of this encounter. The sex was super rough so I’m curious if he did something by accident. I am very upset because i definitely liked this guy a lot but even more upset over how humiliated i felt and being ghosted due to something i can’t control or improve myself on. Is this common? I have had another partner who didn’t care at all but I’ve never had someone act like I was the most vile thing on the planet.
i don’t know what else I could’ve done I gave him the heads up, I apologized and offered to help clean anything up. He REALLY seemed to like me for years until this moment. Any support or advice is needed, I’m really distraught over this.
