Last night I told my boyfriend I wasn’t feeling well and he responded with this. I felt very hurt and didn’t respond back to him after he sent me this. I’m wondering why he felt the need to be mean to me/ respond to me this way. Did I do something wrong by mentioning my cycle? (Him & I are 24)
I don’t know. I mean… I get not wanting to have a hour long talk on Thanksgiving but the way he said it was rude. If you texted at 3 am. Yeah…. Unless you both agreed on that.
Maybe he was in a bad mood. Communicate how it made you feel…. If he can’t communicate like a adult when you respectfully bring it up. Then maybe you should question if you should exit the relationship.
Because if it bothers him…. People who are in healthy relationships can apologize. But also communicate their own feelings. In a healthy way. Hey…. Unless it’s a emergency I don’t want to be texted when I’m with family. That would be fine.
Your boyfriend needs to grow up. He's one of those guys who doesn't want to be bothered by the female cycle. He may have been having a bad day, but that's not the way to talk (or text) to a woman, especially a girlfriend.
Best thing to do is to calmly ask him why he said that, and that you were hurt by it.
His reaction and response will let you know if you should continue the relationship or not.
Does he normally address you as "bro" in texts? If not, maybe he was responding to another text and made a mistake, responding to you instead of that sender?
I’ve been in relationships like this and my honest answer is that when a guy says something like “leave me alone” he’s not just saying it in the moment it’s a deep gut feeling he’s had for a while. He wants out and doesn’t want to deal with you or your struggles anymore. He may have fallen out of love or hasn’t felt that way in the first place. If the first thought your partner had when you’re sick or injured is “this is annoying I want this person to leave me alone” they do not care for you.
Your boyfriend calls you "bro"? (Also... you don't need to tell a guy you're getting your period.
Imagine for a sec he's sitting with family and friends... of the deep fried turkey experiment has just gone amuck in his family's back yard... and his screen notification goes off... It's you saying "I'M GETTING MY PERIOD SOON"... Gross... and embarrassing too.
Okay I'm gonna say this on behalf of all women. If you let a man disrespect you like this, why do you stay. Do you not respect yourself? If a man treats a woman this way he is not worth dating. No woman should ever have to deal with someone who lacks empathy or concern for your well-being and dismisses you like this. Throw this dude to the curb and find someone more worth your time. Women have gotta stop putting up with this shit from men and grow some self confidence to know what you deserve. You did not deserve to be treated that way, he is not respecting you, ditch the loser.
he doesn't know how to be an emotionally supportive boyfriend yet. he will need about 20 years of training. unfortunately a lot of guys have poor training, there's no good video games that explain how to be a boyfriend or how girls operate. they think girls are their dude friends in a different physical body.
Hope you find the support you need in other forms.

Dump him. Never let someone disrespect you like this, especially not someone like a boyfriend who’s supposed to love and care about you. I promise you that you can never have a happy, lasting relationship with someone like him. The sooner you leave the sooner you can find the right man.
Am I the only one wondering if you text him at 11:58 pm. I work nights so not a big deal but if you’re both day walkers then I’m pretty sure you have some other text messages that would help us determine if he’s a straight ass. Wouldn’t be surprised if he just woke up to this and just couldn’t form a constructive thought. Either way he’s a shit and should have more empathy.
Not sure what you’re getting at, but I don’t give a shit about feminist vs. masculine treats Just need more context to answer the question with a more appropriate answer.
You didn’t do anything wrong, mentioning your cycle is normal. He was likely stressed, immature about period talk, or projecting his own mood onto you. Your feelings are valid, and his response was unnecessarily insensitive.
He may be 24 but you are with a man child. This dude is WAY TOO imature to be with a woman. He needs to go back to his parents basement until his mama and daddy teach him what it is to be a man. RUN RUN RUN
Bro? Who does he think he is talking to? I have no possible reason your boyfriend was acting like an ass except the possibility that he is actually just an ass.
Wow ok first he should never call a woman bro it's not only disrespectful and childish but kinda puts you in a friendzone Second guys don't want to hear about a woman's period. If you do bring it up he shouldn't respond but instead go to a pharmacy or drug store buy a box of tampons and bring them to you then leave without saying a word or without saying much Both of yous fucked up
Yeah, you're 24. Man is trying to mack down some turkey and you're yackin about surfin the crimson wave. No man wants to hear that business. Leave the man alone with his pumpkin pie and football.
Does this shit bird you call your boyfriend even treat you like you're his girlfriend? Or just like somebody he uses for sex? When is the last time he took you out on a proper date?
