DP embarrasing me over periods

I’m 30 I know I shouldn’t exactly be embarrassed by them (and deep down I’m not) but this is how DP is making me feel.

I was having really bad stomach cramps last night. He was asking me what was wrong and I told him and he pulled a disgusted face. Then this morning I had come on and he said “eww”

When he says these things, I do pull him up on them but he says he’s joking but they aren’t funny to me. For a while now I have been trying to make out what this means. Is it just something he’s grossed out by? Or is it an example of not really caring about me? I can’t work it out

I really could not be with someone so stupid and immature.

That's not a man, on any level.

He’s an arsehole.

I’d tell him ONCE that this shit had to stop.

Then I’d leave him. He’s shaming a fundamental part of being a woman.

Kudos to you for having a 17-year-old toy boy. That’s the only explanation for his childishness.

He needs to grow up, periods r not embarrassing and grown men shouldn’t be saying eww or anything of the sort. No doubt he’s the type that would be embarrassed to pick u up a packet of pads/tampons 🙄 I’d be telling him to wise up asap !

He’s a misogynist. Sorry to say. You should wait until he’s done a poo in the bathroom and then tell him how disgusting he is.

I’ll put my hands up and say people might think this is an overreaction but that would give me the ick and I don’t think I’d continue the relationship. He sounds like a 13 year old school boy.

If you ever want children, a lot more happens, trust me…

Why are you even with this unpleasant knob?

CreteBound · 28/08/2025 16:15

He does it because he’s a bully and likes to undermine and humiliate you by the way. Sounds like he hates women.

In what other ways is he verbally abusive OP? Do you feel safe to leave?
