My partner and one of my children both carry epis for their allergies and when I'm thinking from a logical standpoint, I know the drill. I've unfortunately gone through the motions multiple times, especially when we were figuring out all of my daughters allergies. For some reason though, that logic is thrown out the fucking window when I need it for myself.

Yeah, I deleted the last 2 sentences, i noticed it too. But I'm still fully behind the rest of what I said. The least you can do is to at least read about this stuff. Women suffer a lot from most of the methods and men tend to just sit there and not bother at all. Or do stupid stuff like you did, causing even more pain.

> Eithe she got fired, or insufficient creeped her out enough to quit

You’re jumping to conclusions. You didn’t say out loud that you and she smoked while she was on shift before. (And if the owners yelled at her for smoking on her free time, then fuck them) And based on your story, it doesn’t seem like she was creeped out and not enough to throw her job away to get away from you. More likely you misinterpreted cues and she’s not really into you and wasn’t flirting seriously and just left for a new job and didn’t care to let you know. Or maybe she got COVID.

Also, it’s Thanksgiving, maybe she went on vacation or to visit her family or friends or boyfriend. You should ask the new cashier if he or she is the new regular, and where the person before them went

Oh I know, but my brain likes jumping through all the hoops. It went through all the stages like:

  • dizzy and short of breath, definitely dying
  • its probably just the panic tbh
  • ok but how do I know if I've never experienced this before?
  • bitch, you'd definitely be dead right now if it was an allergic reaction
  • OK but what if the adrenaline from the panic is acting in the same way epinephrine does?
  • I don't think you can panic yourself out of death
  • yea, you probably can't
  • ok so I'm not dying
  • tries sitting up and gets extremely lightheaded
  • fuck, I really am dying
  • Is this an ativan-level event? Probably not
  • hmm, pretty sure I would be dead
  • so why am lightheaded? Oh ya, my breathing
  • oh, I can breathe fine
  • k, definitely not dying

Well. There are many reasons. 1. It's included in basic sex education. Now i don't know from what country OP comes from, so ill give him the benefit of doubt. 2. You enjoy going without a condom, the least you can do is find out about the way your girlfriend prevents pregnacy and read about it, especially the side effects. 3. He himself should also have interest in it, knowing how high the chances are to get pregnant with the chosen method of his girlfriend. 4. It's just basic knowledge, people talk about it. Like here. I'm sure he knew "kinda" what it meant when his girlfriend told him, so why not take 2 minutes to Google and find out the information?

Tbh I dated a lot of women that had an IUD and I never noticed it before and those wires just don’t come up even in conversation about contraceptions I had prior. I would even say that I know more about contraception and the female reproductive system than your average Joe but just not that one detail which lead to disaster.
