It’s all about communication. He could have expressed that he didn’t want to have sex or take a mutual shower , but instead he made a big deal about a natural bodily function that you cannot control or get rid of and made someone he’s supposed to love feel like shit. He literally said this in his post.

I actually like it, I barely have any homework and the long amounts of class time give me enough time to complete work from other classes

dude's squeamishness was the last thing he mentioned, and it was what he said at teh end of his GF giving him shit. Yet, somehow, you avoid the fact she was angry before he said a word, and make it all about the blood.

She was angry when she came out, she "had one in the clip". That's what you overlook,because "omg, guys just don't get it!"

Exactly!

It's their teacher, not their friend

> I do admit I had a flash-forward of standing in reddish water and not being happy about that also though.

OP literally said this, he clearly has no fucking clue how periods work and it heavily looks like he is disgusted by normal shit. Also the person you replied to mentioned that sex might have been a possibility on the side, yet you somehow made your entire comment based solely on that.

dude she didn’t ask you to wash all the blood clots out of her😭😭

I will.

She's right - dude turned the shower down because he was tired and drunk. GF came out pissy, and picked a fight.

He didn't shoot her down, though. He was semi-drunk and tired, and just wanted to lie on the bed.

It wasn't until she came out after the shower and picked a fight that he made the red water comment.

And, considering the sheer number of "educating men 'bout periods" posts that go on about unexpected flowers and gushers and clots...I can't blame somebody for having the thought he did.

And he wasn't in the mood for a shared shower. Guys are allowed to not want to have sex, or to not get the hint.

I mean, personally? Sex or not, I'd turn down that experience. Shower sex isn't fun, and for me, neither is sharing a shower or tub.

Seems like a double standard to be angry because dude wasn't thinking about sex on demand.

Welcome to the internet. First day?

"What if something happened?"

Like, what? Ninjas? Soap in her eyes? I mean, if she slipped and fell, he would hear her, right?

I mean, he told her he didn't have an issue with her having her period, AND he pointed out he was tired and buzzed, and just wanted to lay there. the bloody water part was like, the last, least item.

GF just wanted to be pissy about something. I mean, you're allowed to not want to share a shower without being some kind of regressive male beast.

Also, based on the number of times Reddit has post about women having an unexpected "gusher" and octaclots, that whole "4 seconds, no issue" seems contrary to what you actually experience.

Ah yes, welcome to the minority of redditors who don't over-react to anything.

<see's one post from one person> <judges their entire life from it and has a mental health meltdown>

A lotta green haired crew cuts going in at you here brother, I'd just apologise to your partner and learn better for next time but clearly, some of these people want your head on a stake and think you're good for nothing haha - obviously none of them have ever been wrong about anything

I can tell ur a dude u barely see any blood even when washing down there u only see blood if ur on a HEAVY period if ur on a light one there’s liek no blood at all

> space to sort out womanly shit

She was showering, not doing high level math equations, yeah you FU

Still doesn't justify his gf's reaction. He literally just said " Nah " in the actual situation. She's the one who overreacted

Except based on how he's typing (ex. Pictured himself standing in bloody water, "not happy about it", "womanly shit", and he knew she was upset about getting her period) it's clear he's somewhat repulsed by periods (or at the very least uneducated). He needs to grow up or at least communicate with his gf properly.

Well yeah sure the woman might have been overreacting if she thought he refused because she's having a period.

But he confirmed it to her that she's right. So he's a dickhead who just made her feel dirty and filthy, unworthy of his holy presence in the bath. So many women feel ashamed about having periods, but here's one who didn't until the jerk reminded her that she should.

You still want to side with OP?
