A guy explains why he demanded his girlfriend to replace his sheets after her period but the internet was not amused.
This guy, who posted on Reddit; AITA for getting angry with my girlfriend and demanding she pay to replace my sheets after she got blood on them?
“I (M26) have been dating my girlfriend (F24) for about a year now, and we recently moved in together,” he explained.
He owns most of the furniture and adds that, “I am a bit of a neat freak, and she generally is too, so we get along pretty well living together.”
“Now I’m not one of those guys that gets grossed out over a woman having her menstrual cycle.”
“I’ve had sex with my girlfriend on lighter days with a towel down. I go and buy her feminine products. I don’t get weirded out if she mentions it. I will say though, it totally grosses me out getting on my bed though.”
“I noticed a blood spot on the bed and got totally grossed out. I knew she had been on her period for three days already so it wasn’t any sort of surprise accident. I asked how it happened and she was upset and said she thought she didn’t need to sleep with anything on.”
“I told her that was irresponsible and that she needed to pay me for new sheets. She agreed to pay for new sheets but got upset with me for getting angry and calling her irresponsible.”
“She says I have no reason to be angry to talk down to her over something I don’t experience. I said that she should’ve been more careful with where we sleep and that it was unhygienic.”
“To everyone saying to just wash the sheets, she did, but I just don’t like the thought of it.”
Finally, after enormous backlash, the guy admits,” I was a prick for being condescending towards her and not being sensitive to her embarrassment”.
“I told her I obviously just have a weird phobia with it I need to work through. I did ask her to wear products every night until she knows it’s gone, and she called me ignorant, and had no right to suggest how she handles her period.”
