AIBU to not tell him I'm on my period

I have a casual relationship. We meet up roughly every couple of weeks, go for dinner and go back to mine or his. We have a good friendship and enjoy each other's company, but it's not serious and we don't really talk in between meeting up.

I usually cancel if my period is heavy but if my period is light/medium, I just use a menstrual sponge and get on with things. I've never mentioned it to my casual and he doesn't know. It's never leaked or been a problem. If he did ask why I never seem to have a period I'd probably tell him, but I don't think it matters. He doesn't ask, I don't tell.

I was talking to a friend about it and she said it's unfair to have sex with him whilst on my period without his consent. I don't think my period is any of his business and if it makes no difference, he doesn't need to know.

YABU - He should know I'm on my period
YANBU - It's not his business

@LolaSmiles

This is everything that's wrong with the 'me too' movement. Minor interactions distract from the very real, brutal and scaring experience of already too many people. So sad. You're right! The #MeToo movement has gone wayyyy too far. It's totally stopped people saying hello to others, nobody can say anything nice to anyone, flirting is essentially illegal. It's all just soooo unbelievably confusing. GrinHmm This is exactly what was being mocked on the Mash Report months ago: m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=TMfStd3v330

Grin HTH.

Thanks 😊 just what I needed. Got a 'little' triggered there 🤣🤣

@lolaSmiles Just actually watched the tea video. Was funny. Cheak it out.

Tea etiquette and consent are not equal (especially in Ireland/Norn iron) boiling people or roofies are obvious tho......If you require a video seek professional help.
