Next time I have a nosebleed I'm gonna invite my girl to shower with me in it as well.

Who the fuck cares?

He's completely within his right to not be potentially exposed to someones period blood. Next time I'm gonna wipe my boogers all over my wife as well and tell her she better not be offended by it it's naturally from my body. She's being a whiny baby

I did not say that he said that to her at the begining. I agree, him saying "nah" should be enough. If she was feeling insecure she should have asked questions instead of getting butt hurt. But he admitted his true thoughts to us with the comment I quoted. And he does need to do a lot of maturing, just like she does. Both are wrong, but only he posted. So I only commented about his issue. Your comment that "You can try and womansplain a period (only woman understand it)" assumes I am a woman. And also infers that women don't understand things that need to be mansplained. Interesting and telling. And you point at others for cognitive dissonance and how they are exhausting 🤣

When she asked him to join her in the shower shower and he said Nah, that should have been the end to it. The guy was tipsy and on the verge of passing out from the cocktails they had earlier.

But it wasn't the end of it. She took the rest of her shower to sulk in her insecurity and maybe her own frustrations about getting her period on this exotic vacation and the scene was being set for some kind of confrontation.

He did not say the "he wanted to give her space to sort out womanly shit" until much further in the conversation and it's clear that you have no interest in all the other problematic shit that took place up until that point.

He never said that he had a problem with the "physiological function" of a woman having a period. He simply communicated (in not the most ideal terms or tone as I have acknowledged) that he wasn't enthusiastic about joining her in the shower while she's on her menstrual cycle. You can try and womansplain a period (only woman understand it) or assuage the biological reality of menstrual cycle by referring to it as a physiological process (true but I can see what you're doing) or we can talk about period blood being biological waste just like urine, bowels, smegma, and not conflate people not wanting to interact with another person's human waste as that person not acknowledging another person's humanity.

If he does not want to join her in the shower because he's tired and tipsy OR because he doesn't feel comfortable with the thought of standing in bloody water OR simply because he just doesn't fucking feel like it, that should be OK.

You don't seem to acknowledge or even care about her narcissistic tone nor her hyperbolic sense of entitlement.

You don't seem to acknowledge her manipulative nature and her using the 'tampon whole swimming' trope as textbook gaslighting.

You don't seem to even acknowledge the guy's humanity or his right to have wants/needs/preferences irrespective to a woman's wants/needs/preferences

The brazen levels of cognitive dissonance in these comments is exhausting....😩😫

You're 17. That's the best time to fuck around with as many people you want (or don't want), find out what you're actually into and what you want in life and everyone who shames anyone for it should be ashamed of themselves. You have at least another 13 years before you need to start looking for a serious long term relationship, you probably aren't even out of high school yet. Enjoy it while you can and don't let anyone put you down.

Urine is only sterile if 1) you don’t have a UTI, and 2) it’s collected sterilely. The tissue surrounding the urethral meatus often has bacterial colonies on the skin. So antiseptic would have to be used to clean the skin, and the urine would have to collected sterilely into a sterile container. Otherwise allowing urine to “age” is likely to result in bacterial growth. Regardless, bacteria still isn’t the biggest issue with drinking urine. You have to consider that this is what your kidneys excreted as waste, so putting it back through your renal system isn’t going to do any favors to your kidneys. Theoretically the same could be said for the liver if you are spilling bilirubin.

Was that her mum who texted you later in the evening I'm guessing? Since her wording through you off I'm guessing it might have been her. Do be careful when joking about others parents next time my friend bcuz you never know how they take it.

Him saying that he "just wanted to give her her space to sort out womanly shit" is essentially saying he is clueless and uncomfortable (which is partially fine), but he is also saying he doesn't want to learn more or do better, or just have a supportive conversation about how some physiological functions make him uncomfortable (which is where it crisses over to not fine). That's where the "less than" idea comes from. "Womanly shit" is beneath him.

Just depends on your definition of sport. Do you have the same problem with people being called a "bad sport" some people use sport as "game or competition. Just as in the previous mentioned phrase you could say "you have a bad attitude when you lose". To be clear I am not saying it is or isn't, just noting why this argument always creeps up with less physical competition. I prefer keeping words defined clearly and believe sport should mean competition with physical prowess involved.

I’ve lived here 20 years and I’ve only ever actually seen it happen twice (and once was my now-husband… he’s lucky he’s cute cuz that shit traumatized me)…

I take Cymbalta, and it’s been good for me. I definitely no longer feel like I’m gonna leap out of my skin if someone looks a little queasy.
