AITAH Bf switching up on periods
My f27 boyfriend m27 together 8 years has always been pretty good about periods he has a younger and older sister and grew up with mostly just his mam, I’m pretty self sufficient on my period and don’t really ask for much other than maybe some chocolate if I know he’ll be in or passing a shop. I’ve never asked for much so he’s never done much not in a bad way I just never needed much. This year my periods have gotten really bad apparently it’s normal as you get a lil older so that’s fine they’re still manageable I just am in a lot of pain the first two days. More context we have 3 dogs who sleep in the room with us and take turns letting them down in the morning, I woke up to them this morning and brought two down cause the other didn’t want to, and then had to rush toilet as I had leaked bad bad in my sleep and needed to clean myself up plus my cramps were cramping so I wanted to get back to bed asap. Got back into bed and the other dog wanted to go down and woke my bf, I told him to ignore him and he’d be quiet (which he would’ve just gone back to sleep if we ignored him for two minute) but bf got mad and brought him down, I was in a lot of pain so passed out again while he was gone.
I woke up about an hour later to my boyfriend furious with me and telling me I just use my period as an excuse to do nothing and be lazy, already pretty rude but then went on to say women deal with it every month we should be used to it, women in his life have had their period and still got on with life and don’t complain, I’m weaponising my period etc etc I wanna add I’m currently setting up my own business while still working and studying all from home though so I also do most of the housework and cook nearly every meal so it’s not like I’m just sitting around all day (I don’t mind this btw I like keeping busy so it really doesn’t bother me and the housework is split when we’re both there)
I didn’t back down about what he was saying sounding uneducated and childish so he eventually walked out and told me he doesn’t know when he’ll see me again. I know work is stressing him but this feels outrageous
