@Julez: Not really feeling your period must be nice.
You may think some women are too whiny, but it's probably just the fact that women experience their periods very differently. Ususally if a woman is in pain and is whining, she really is in pain. Unless she's a total attention whore, but that's singlular cases imho.
Bad, painful periods run in my family, so at least I know it's real for me. Ash used to distract me with cute animal videos while waiting till my painkillers would kick in. But sometimes they don't and distracting doesn't help much. Especially if it's that kind of pain that I can't sit in one position, or lay down, and I walk constantly and try to breathe it away. It's hard to watch cute cat videos like that, lol XD
And it's not fair for anyone to say "doesn't matter if you're in pain, you have been doing nothing all day and I am tired after work, so cook food for me". No, dear sir, I was very busy with dying all day, thank you very much. Let's cook together, as we always do. I'm still grateful that Ash is being pretty empathic about my periods and he's not being a jerk about stuff like that. The above sentence is an exteme example of insensitivity some woman may be getting during that time. (or maybe what my brain first hears when Ash says "let's cook food", then I have to filter it to his actual words
My brain is period-angry a lot...
)
@jacob: Yeah, even when Ash has one of those stomach aches of his (last time when he drank 3 beers on a night out, hurt him for at least 3 days straight), I bet it's a similar intensity, but still different kind of pain. But he also tells me he often gets empathic stomach pain when I'm on my period. I feel sorry for him then, but it's still cute xD I imagine he doesn't really know my pain and I can't really know his. So we're even? XD
Lol, that reminds me of that female ob-gyn we have nearby, she's a bit harsh to say the least. It took me one visit with her to decide never to go there again x.x Like, why are you even a doctor if you hate it so much?
