he knows i hate tampons, i havent been getting my period bc of my birth control but he usually warms up a stuffy he bought me, gets me flowers, chocolates and pads, and usually cuddles me until i fall asleep. HM: he also rubs my stomach and massages the areas the cramps are more intense in

Well yeah if I asked he’s more than happy to do it. And would come back with more than what I ask for (painkillers and prob something to drink). But I don’t think I’d expect him to do it without asking since I normally buy them in bulk anyway

He bought me an entire new bottle of ibuprofen because he was worried the 500mgs he already had would be too much for me. He definitely would buy me pads if i asked

a subtle flex might be buying flowers and chocolates/anything else they might need along with the them, that's sad if just getting tampons would be the flex

Yeah I mean I guess it could be a flex that you’re being a nice person but I don’t think a random register person cares if you have a partner or not and isn’t gonna be all impressed you have a gf 😭 but I guess I can only talk for myself

Well if they can get past the embarrassment of buying condoms or whatever bc they want to have sex, they can get past buying tampons to be a good partner

And their daughter if they have one is gonna need them someday too and it might be nice to be like my dad and just pick them up when you’re already going to the store and not make your wife take an extra trip just bc you don’t want to do that

How do you run out of something when you know the relative time and quantity of the item you’ll need for the event every month for the next 30 years

I think I’d only expect him to know the specific ones I use since if he’s buying them or he’s seen me with them. Better yet if we live together they’d be in the bathroom all the time so he’d memorize what the box looked like. Bc my dad still doesn’t know which ones I use 😭 I text a picture all the time

in that case no one should ask anyone for anything because they have the responsibility to stay stocked on their needs (ex: food, any hygiene products, clothes, ect.) it’s totally normal to ask your partner to pick something up for you while you’re out. it’s a partnership if you don’t want to help your partner every now and then, then you should just get used to being alone.

Because I don’t understand the perspective of not buying something for someone you’re dating, unless you settled on someone you don’t really fuck with.

is this what you tell people who run out of toilet paper or coffee creamer? or literally any other human household thing that one could run out of? if you’re living with a woman and she runs out of a type of bread she likes that you don’t eat and asks you to pick it up while you’re at the store do you tell her “it’s your responsibility to keep stocked on your needs 😡 you know approximately how much of that bread you eat per week/month” 😭??

Last sentence is exactly why your comparison makes no sense. A period is an event that one general knows the time period it will occur and also how much of said item. There’s no reason for a woman to not have more than a months supply of stuff (two weeks). I know the event is coming and if I decide to not check to be prepared that is my fault

As a woman. I bled for a whole month, had a two day break and then bled for another month. That is not normal. And sometimes it will only last 2 days. So how would i predict my schedule when there isnt one. What if we are out and about and it jus starts. And im in the bathroom andi ask my bf to go get me something from the convenience store?
