Womens things…

[Horseridermum]

What do you all think of a man who refuses to buy his partner womens things

@Horseridermum ok I take my comment back. I hope you are ok and managed to get some period care. He’s behaving in an infantile and unsupportive way.

I think he's a tiny man, insecure in his manhood. Most definitely desperate for the wrong type of approval, so is likely to display other unsuitable traits.

Your husband sounds weak and a bit inadequate. A decent man would have gone out and got the pads or tampons or whatever you needed. Is he a bit pathetic in other ways as well?

If the reason he wouldn't was because it was sanitary towels, when he'd happily have picked you up elastoplasts or paracetamol (sorry, Trump) then I'd think he was being either really childish or misogynist. I'd hope he would pick up something you needed urgently, and you would for him if he needed something urgently, especially as he was going out anyway and someone had to stay with the baby.

Did he offer any reason why he wouldn't?

If you're worried about him snooping at your posts on here as well he really doesn't sound a nice man at all.

What a silly man.

Did anyone else read this with a Les Dawson voice or am I showing my age?

What does he think will happen when he goes to the till and pays for them?

Why is it some men choose to be their most cunty selves just as their wife/partner is at their most vulnerable, ie just had a baby

Hopefully he does look at your post OP and is shamed into stepping up as a partner

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you @Secondstart1001

he said men don’t buy them
i said my bro in law does
he said oh was he buying them for himself

He sounds like a sexist idiot. Is this the first example of this type of nonsense?

Because they know that when women are vulnerable, they're less likely to object and leave him, sadly.

OP, your "partner" is a dick.

You know you can just come out with it and say the words period products, sanitary products, tampons, pads right?…🙄🤗 That in itself makes you seem on par with the partner refusing to buy them.

With regard to the original question - I would think they were an absolutely immature idiot. Would be like refusing to get loo roll for goodness sake. Like seriously, get a grip and grow up.

How can you stand being with this man-child? Any decent partner would be making sure you are okay, getting you anything you need, not acting like a 5 year old, and a mysognstic sexist one at that.

I've no doubt my husband would buy me towels if given a pic so he wouldn't get it wrong (he is aware of the differences due to the huge shelves lol). Not been needed so far due to period pants/light periods, but he has been sent for emergency giant post natal towels (under estimated need with baby 1), laxatives, anusol, nipple pads, etc.

If your other half is man enough to make babies, he's man enough to deal with women's bodies and needs.

I wonder what was his back up plan for when there was no toilet paper at home.

Anyway OP it’s gross and immature that your DH is refusing to buy pads for you whatever reason he was citing for this.

Based on your update he sounds almost unbelievably stupid (or he thinks you are). In addition to someone running out to pick them up for their partner, wife, friend, sister, mum, daughter in an emergency, you also have all of the men doing the family shop and buying whatever anyone's put on the list AND all of the men shopping for others in a professional capacity, like whoever fills online orders, or as volunteers.

I do feel for you as he isn’t showing you basic care or respects . Is he selfish in other ways ?

@rainbowsparkle28 i did ask him for that u obviously haven’t ready all my updates anyway i just put that as a title for quick response
i dont give 2 shits about calling them tampons, period pads or whatever else,
i was just annoyed and wanted to see if i was being unreasonable in being annoyed and wanted advice from others and most people are feeling the same as me yes im annoyed its a joke him refusing.
thanks for everyone else who bypassed the silly title thread and answered my question as i dont really have anyone in rl i can get proper advice from

It's pathetic. But 'women's things'? Are we in 1950 all of a sudden? Honestly, I find that pathetic, too, from an adult.

I wouldnt expect anyone to buy me something if it made them uncomfortable

What a child.

@shhblackbag 🙄 are we still focusing on the thread title

@Horseridermum its bad as when you are on your period you feel crap anyway. No one would care what he was purchasing .. he could have used a self checkout if it was such a big deal. But the fact is he didn’t put your needs first over his stupidity. How old is he btw?

I think that calling them "women's things" shows that you and your partner have a shared view of anything related to menstruation. You're not going to be able to call them "women's things" through shame and then also find a liberal, progressive husband who doesn't feel dirty or emasculated by buying sanitary products.
