Aibu to be upset and shocked by this??

[livingtowork]

I'm staying at my boyfriend of 4 years and I've come on, I usually have more stuff with me but I wasn't expecting it until Monday so when he said he was popping to the shop to get sweets for his kids I asked if he could get me some tampons - he said he's never bought them in his life and never would - even for me!!! Its a crap area so he'd rather me walk myself to go and get them, his 12 yr old daughter said she would go with me but ffs, its tampons and this is the 21st century - I feel so sorry for his 2 daughters (although I am sure he would go and get what they needed!!) Feel like shit right now with a was of bog roll in my pants!!!! :-( :-(:-(

So was your dad in medicine or science then Milk? Strange he should feel so embarrassed about bodily functions if that's the case.

OP, give his daughter a big hug for offering to go with you though, what a sweetheart. She clearly cares for you.

Or you okay op?

My now husband tried to wheedle out of getting tampons for me when the relationship was still quite new, it wasn't like I wanted it to happen but needs must.

I laughed in his face when he refused and he did go, it's never been an issue since. I was brought up by a father and step father who didn't bat an eyelid at such things and expect thesame from a partner.

Science. Couldn't bring himself to do it at all. Bloody good at getting the right chocolate and alcohol though.

Sorry, milk - I'm sure your dad is super. But you've represented him really badly here.

How very odd.

Have to say after doing a goldfish impression at his refusal, I would have told him it wasn't optional and that I would either have to go home or not be responsible for any damage to furnishings caused by blood if he didn't bring them back with him. Would cause serious falling out if he didn't get them and I would have gone home at that point. It's the never have, never would part that disappoints.

So no op, yanbu!

Not helping the person you are supposed to love, does make you a bit of a shit human being actually

I dunno, milk

your dad sounds a bit thick to me

I'd tell my dad to grow up. Won't buy tampons? Why the fuck not?

Sorry Bertrand I was being factual. I haven't had a period in about 10 years now and even I would be hard pressed to remember which ones to buy. He has rarely needed to but them, but he would if asked, which is the point of this thread.

buy not but

Milk you're just playing with us now. Admit it.

milk you do know you've made your dad look like a massive twat don't you?

I can't imagine my husband not getting something I need to feel fired comfortable. No matter what it is.. My 16 yr old picks up tena pads when I send him but it's better than bloody toilet roll. I think I would be staying home during my period if he was going to be a knob about it.

If he's going to the shop, then why would you have to walk to the shop on your own? Surely you'd just go with his as he's going anyway ?

I am sure milk has got the point by now. While understandable I am not sure any of this is moving the now absent op on

I went and got them, he is still being abusive about me even asking!!! I'm gobsmacked :(

Oh bless the wee sensitive snowflake that 'couldn't bring himself' to buy people he was supposed to love essential items. Your dad sounds pretty inadequate, Milk, my beloved late father would do anything for me - he was a real man.

I couldn't respect a man that left me in discomfort because he was too wet to buy tampons - I would lose all respect.

Playing? Playing what?

I've probably had too much wine

Still think refusal to buy tampax etc doesn't make someone a horrible person.

Why are you still there living?

Oh op this isn't good. What do you mean abusive? Are you okay?

Can you get a taxi home OP?

OP, just leave

this is not ok

He is being abusive? Abusive because you asked for tampons? And he has a 12 year old daughter.

For fear of sounding like a cliche - run for the hills!
