How do you react to your girlfriend's period?

[vpfafouta]

Guys, how do you act when your girlfriend is on her period?
Girls, what does your boyfriend do when you're on your period?
My boyfriend act a tad bit awkward at first and says something like "oh oops" but then he's extremely supportive and sweet. He'll say things to make me feel better and sometimes come over and bring my favorite snacks and snuggle with me. He also gives me back massages lol. I do become very moody on it, so i can get annoyed easily, and he usually understands. He'll just tell me to calm down, and it's very reassuring. Overall, i'm pretty blessed and thankful. Just wondering how other guys react to this. I know it's a weird topic for some. by the way we are both 17 and have been dating for 7 months.

He sounds like a wonderful guy.
As of right now, I get a bit depressed when my wife is on her period. Only because we've been trying so hard for a baby for the past 6 years. So everytime her cycle hits, it depresses her more than it does me, so we cuddle watch movies, pop popcorn and have board game night, where her and I will sit and play games like Monopoly, Battleship, and Mouse trap. She the last round is full of emotions in general as women who get hormone fertility shots.

I do get worried as well because she's actually had problems in the past with too much bleeding and passing out and getting severely anemic.

Long story short I try to remain calm while she has her monthly friend over for a visit, but at the same time, it's a pretty nerve-wracking thing.

[vpfafouta]

aww that's very sweet that you're concerned about her. just keep doing what you're doing. i'm sure she really appreciates it. good luck on your baby! (:

[thetalentedmrpeaches]

Well I have to be :) I've known her for 24 years and If I wasn't nice to her my sister would throw a hissy fit (they've been best friends since kindergarten. We're not even close to being pregnant, we're going to have to go back for another shot and IUI next month because this time didn't take. If it doesn't work this time we're going to try IVF, and if that fail's we're probably just going to adopt.

[vpfafouta]

that's alright. just think on the positive side. and it's never wrong to adopt if needed. my boyfriend is adopted, and so is my father. i really wish you the best of luck in whatever you do.

[thetalentedmrpeaches]

that's awesome.

After being in an abusive marriage I'm dreading having a new relationship. Of course before it was 24/7 that she was horrible instead of once a week. So if I can handle having a horrible wife for years that I somehow still loved and didn't want to leave I imagine a normal woman on her period shouldn't be a problem.

I never want another abusive relationship again though. I feel like the second my new girlfriend treats me like shit for absolutely zero reason I will dump her. It might just be because she was on her period and i wouldn't even know.

[fauchelevent]

My boyfriend doesn't really care? I do get pretty light headed sometimes and he'll help support me and he'll be fine with havng a hot water bottle in the bettle with us and he'll rub my stomach if I ask without making a big deal of it or freaking out about the blood, I don't think it fazes him either way.

[Cmasterson]

Now it's no problem, he one got me a period care package it was very sweet lol. He knows Im in pain for the first couple days so doesn't try to get all crazy or adventurous but then again it really depends on how you react on your own period with have the outcome of their reaction.

[Anonymous]

He sounds like a keeper! I always feel like guys feel grossed out if you say you're on it but it's natural.

My ex would always apologize and get me medicine lol and he would say "fix it" because we were horny all the time and wanted to have sex. We both hated my period lol

[vpfafouta]

yeah same here haha

[zeke0019]

Half of the time I don't even realize she's on her period because she doesn't go psycho on me. But when she lets me know then I usually do what I always do. Hold her if she wants, fuck off if she wants. She's pretty easy about it though. All she wants to do is sleep.

[GoodManDave]

I get squeamish; point and scream "uncleeeeeaaan!" Every chance I get.

Kidding, of course.

I've bought pads for an (ex) girlfriend a few times. Maybe even a friend or two. no biggie. Just have some extra patience, and I will try to figure it out. Don't scream if I get things a little wrong, and I'll try to do the right thing.

I'm no hero. I'm just a man. A man who buys his lady some Tampax if she needs it. Ok... so maybe I'm a little like Batman.

[AleDeEurope]

It's normal, so I would help her with whatever she needs and try to calm her down.
But I'm not gonna be her punching bag, though. Having your period is no reason to act like a cunt.

[theharlequin]

This goes for periods, too

Put down ice cream slowly back out of the room and return 7 days later

[vvn604]

A relationship based on fear? Is that healthy?

[Opinion Owner]

@vvn604 it was a joke

[vvn604]

People upvoted. Who knows whether they knew it as a joke or not. The fact that they read it it might be even be embedded in their subconscious because it's not an uncommon scenario to picture in one's head. Be careful of your thoughts because thoughts could turn into actions. As a 25-29 year old I would expect more fom you and contribute more than what you are putting out in this already overly contaminated society.

[Opinion Owner]

@vvn604 I donate $500 000/ year to send orphans to college I'm a trained paramedic and vollenter fire fighter and I employee 50 people and farm they very food you eat so I do plenty for society

[vvn604]

Guess you need to reassess your values. Doing 9 things supposedly right and 1 thing purposely "wrong" shows inconsistency in integrity or lack thereof. It takes a long time to build trust but a second to lose it.

[vvn604]

Plus, if the food your farm is not organic, you're just slowly killing people and it also shows you don't care about our beautiful planet.

[vvn604]

you farm*

[Opinion Owner]

@vvn604 first it is organic and secondly I'm willing to kill all the religious people on earth to save the planet

[vvn604]

I think reading up on manhood may benefit you.

[Opinion Owner]

@vvn604 fuck I'm more of a man then any of the ivy league ass holes you call a man I was trained in special forces technecs by my dad and if we didn't do good enough we got are was wiped with a belt followed that up by being orphaned at 14 and getting physically mentally and sexually abused in there orphanage for 2 years after witch I worked 2 jobs to support my brother and sister and I put us all through college then I started and bought several successful companies working 100 plus hour weeks to put food on the table for my kids so if that doesn't qualify me to be a man in your book you can go fuck yourself

[vvn604]

Well then you need to reasses what it means to be a real man. Verbally attacking people is not one of them.

[vpfafouta]

@vvn604 he was not "verbally attacking" anybody. he meant his comment as a joke, and i understood that. it seems like you've had something done in the past to be triggered by that comment, or you just don't know what a joke is. it was sarcasm; you obviously didn't see it. he is as much of a man as any other guy commenting. that's is a very stupid argument to create. please stop arguing with this man on my post.

[snow187]

just think of it as something normal yet bizarre to me

[naraku]

I am not concerned by it.

If there's something I can do to help - even go and buy extra tampons- I will.
Otherwise, I just give her space.

[Imhated]

I would help them through it, and most likely stock up on chocolate just in case

[cutemz]

Hell say " I hate that shit" seriously I hate guys like that

[buttholexplorer69]

The old testament thing and send her to the outhouse for a week or so

[Totally_A_Dude]

Chocolate, ibuprofen, and stay lowkey.

[CT_CD]
