Husband annoying about my period

240 replies

suzycy34 · 13/01/2024 15:31

So husband always wants to know when my period is and how long it going to last, and never believes when i say it’s still ongoing , he always has to feel my trousers to see if im wearing a pad or not , or if I just making excuses as he says to not have sex , it’s becoming really annoying he’s asked about 5 times today already if I’m still wearing a pad . I say I am but he doesn’t believe me and I said what sort of person asks are you still wearing it or not , getting sick of the contast questions and he trying to feel if Im wearing pad or not , if I say anything he just huffs and feels sorry for himself.

Tell him to drink his arsenic - such a lovely colour green - while you look for some nice black to wear.

Failing that, inform him that he's off rations until he mends his ways.

Say to him "the more you keep asking the more I'm going to refuse to answer".

Or better still, leave. He sounds like an absolute twat.

frazzledasarock · 13/01/2024 16:17

What would happen if you said you do not want to have sex regardless of whether you are on your period or not. He is being disgusting abusive and controlling and the last thing you want is sex.

Copperoliverbear · 13/01/2024 16:17

Tell him to get therapy, he sounds like a sex addict.
I'd leave him.

LusaBatoosa · 13/01/2024 16:17

I’m having difficulty believing this is real.

Weirdness aside, do you (and he) realise that you don’t need an excuse to have sex? You can just say ‘no’ because you don’t fancy it.

Itslegitimatesalvage · 13/01/2024 16:17

I hope to God that you don’t have daughters. This is disgusting. He is actually awful. Some guys can just be annoying on occasion or a bit stupid sometimes but this… he is actually disgusting, abusive, cruel. Do you not feel dehumanised? When he comes over to give you a good feeling to see if you’re wearing sanitary products? You’re a human being, OP. And you have to stand there and be questioned on your period and then felt up? This isn’t right. Can you see how wrong this is? How are you letting this happen to you? Leave. Leave today. Tell him you’re done being abused and leave today. You must have friends or family you can stay with, you leave him and then you can approach discussion about his behaviour and whether or not he will ever become a respectful person again. But seriously, leave him. I don’t know if I’ve ever said that before on here.

"Don't joke (day 24. Ain't peri a gift?)"

Oh no. Can't the doctor help with that?

Bloods being taken in a weeks time, then we will discuss HRT (and iron levels.)

Copperoliverbear · 13/01/2024 16:18

Well actually I'd tell him to leave

Garman · 13/01/2024 16:18

Can you not see how fucked up it is that he FEELS to see if you’re wearing a pad and you let him do that?? The first time he tried it would’ve been the last, fucking hell what an abusive creep.

LikeagoddamnVampire · 13/01/2024 16:19

If this is true, he's a controlling and hideous sex pest and you need to seriously consider if you want to stay in this relationship with this revolting man. Urrgghhhh.

LusaBatoosa · 13/01/2024 16:19

suzycy34 · 13/01/2024 16:06

He wasn’t always like this , been married 11 years, I guess he always be the type to feel he’s right about everything or how you do things certain ways or if I do something my way it couldn’t be right because he’s not they way he would do it.

How does this relate to your period?

Alloveragain3 · 13/01/2024 16:19

He doesn't value you as a person OP.

HalloumiGeller · 13/01/2024 16:20

I can't quite believe what I've just read, even my other halfs jaw hit the floor! He is a sex pest, how on earth can you find this man attractive?! Ew!

Gillypie23 · 13/01/2024 16:20

That's abuse. End of

Frasers · 13/01/2024 16:21

What am I reading, how did it get to this stage where you allow him to abuse you like this and treat you like a bit of meat.

devildeepbluesea · 13/01/2024 16:21

Fuck me, what an absolute sex pest arsehole you married.

JaneAustensHeroine · 13/01/2024 16:21

Oh OP, this is awful. I’m so sorry you are having to respond to this man. His behaviour is completely unacceptable and demeaning. Please be firm in your boundaries and don’t let him cross them again. Asking you once is one thing, groping you and asking you repeatedly is abusive.

Lovemusic82 · 13/01/2024 16:22

Stressedafff · 13/01/2024 16:13

Sounds like a period fetish

Not a fetish, he’s just a sex pest that wants to jump on her as soon as her periods finished. Abusive sex pest.

Velvian · 13/01/2024 16:22

Leave the absolute fucker, he is a nasty, nasty person.

Frasers · 13/01/2024 16:22

I guess sex is an expectation from him. You can’t say no? He gets to habe sex whenever he wishes like you’re a piece of meat and have no say?

LikeagoddamnVampire · 13/01/2024 16:22

LonginesPrime · 13/01/2024 16:11

From the fact he's accusing you of lying and checking whether you're telling the truth, you imply that the only reason you're "allowed" to say no to sex is if you actually have a period.

What happens if you just don't want to have sex? Do you have that option in this relationship?

Yes this was my next thought too.

What a horrible man.

OP you don't have to put up with this. Don't tolerate this or he'll only get worse and worse.

idontlikealdi · 13/01/2024 16:23

Oh good god. My vagina has just stitched itself shut.

What an abusive fuckwit. You need to leave / get rid.

Shiningout · 13/01/2024 16:23

Next time he reaches for your trousers slap the fuck out of his hand, hard. What a revolting bastard.

SuperGreens · 13/01/2024 16:23

Take it out and rub it in his face. Then file for divorce.

Itslegitimatesalvage · 13/01/2024 16:24

And, and just to put this into perspective for you. I was dating a guy, and we’d been dating around 5 weeks when he asked me to come stay over. I said I was on my period so not the night for it. His reply was that “hey, making out and snuggling up sounds like the perfect night.” And that’s all we did. Watched a movie, kissed and cuddled up to go to sleep. Because that’s what normal men do when you’re on your period and don’t want to have sex on your period. And that was a guy I’d only known a few weeks. This is your husband. And look how he treats you.
