Then it should clearly stated beforehand, if so it shouldn't be any misunderstandings

And pigeons are pooping everywhere about random trash in my head :/

as opposed to... happy murder hornets?

I got adhd too. And i have never found an empty void place anywhere. Only time my brain is empty, is when i take some pills to stop the brain from going into loop of depression, etc

I also am male and exactly like this.

YES. This is a TOTAL BS post.

For me is more like the sound of my cpu fans working. Btw good luck with those cbd drops, heard they're very very good, has helped my nephew with his depresion

Yes, what I wouldn't give to get a hug that wasn't an attempt to initiate sex.

Wish I could upvote a thousand times! Well put, KindyKaiako.

Adding to the support for this comment! Non-sexytimes affection.

Don’t come up and hug me while I’m cooking and you’re talking at me doing nothing helpful.

the only guy that ever wanted a hug from me, only wanted it so he could try and grope me for laughs. Suffice to say, I made sure hugs were rarer than blue moons

ABSOLUTELY! Men appear incapable of giving hugs or cuddling without making it sexual. Very frustrating and annoying 😤

This👆🏻 SOO much this!!

i dont like to make any part of sex a rewards system With the exception of telling how i am gonna do it. afterall men n women are only human. If you as a wife make your husband(same the other way around)There are 10 more waiting to do what you wont. By the time you catch wind of it they think its love when its just some lustful attraction. I hope I have also reminded my husband that everyone is on their very best behavior in the beginning n will purposely ask you why your marriage or relationship is strained; u think they are asking bc they care no they are gonna make sure to not be the things you might not like in your partner. Once you think the grass is greener Suddenly the "new person"s negative traits n real personality are worse than the person they were married or in a relationship with. New sex wears off pretty quick but by then you have ruined a great relationship bc instead of accepting relationships have high n lows and still making an effort to ask what your partner likes.

I logged in just to upvote you!!! 😊

And when you hug her, be present for it. She needs that connection with you for that moment. Please give it to her. Just letting her hug you while you half-heartedly put your arms around her and still look at your phone makes her feel like she isn't a priority

YES! YES! YES!

EXACTLY 💯❣️

Truism!!!

I agree! Affection doesn’t meN sex coming! All the time. It means I enjoy touching you, holding you, feel you in my arms, your warmth and your love.

Uh-huh. . . . No!

It's a two way street, cubbie.

So true!

The thing is, you can know it’s a week a month, but not KNOW. That real understanding comes from walking with someone.

Exactly. Both my boys were never taught about periods in sex ed session when they were 10 (UK). Boys are segregated from the girls are they are told about stuff specific to gender. Eldest is now 14 and still nothing has been said in school. He knows from me and is extremely respectful about it and I'd hope is considerate to the girls in his year that they may be having an awful time but still need to focus through cramps etc in lessons.

This is so true. My boyfriend of 6 years (friends for 5 yrs before dating) knew I had horrific periods, but he didn't know how bad they were. I had to go off birth control for 6 weeks prior to my total hysterectomy (yes, I had a total hysterectomy when I was in my mid 20's - No, I did not have endometriosis or any other diagnosable issue - I simply bled so much on my menses, and had horrific cramps no matter if I was on my period or not). Needless to say, I was doubled over, fetal position, vomiting, all color drained from my face, and more for a long time. He would force muscle relaxers into my clenched mouth. My periods always lasted longer than normal and never came at a normal time. He had no idea how much a woman could go thru and still hate to put on a happy face & work/be normal. It's really sad that people are so oblivious to what we go thru.

It's because talks about periods make people without periods uncomfortable. Sort of like how talks about racism make people who don't experience racism uncomfortable. Both are taboo topics of discussion but both would help increase awareness and sensitivity for those who experience those things if we got past the discomfort and just talked about them. Sorry, I've experienced both and the denial is real and runs deep on both topics.

Truly. Health class, at least in my time, was more suited to people going into a healthcare field than actually having to live with this stuff. Very technical, very matter-of-fact, nothing really useful in dealing with it all.

We have our own problems.

We get it jeez I'm a woman and I've never suffered painful periods but have witnessed it..it is terrible but there is awareness of everything nowadays.. only so much u can do about a natural bodily function..contraceptives can help..why does every wan online whine as though its somthing new and let's be honest it's often said by women who aren't genuinely suffering..just another reason to say 'us poor women we suffer so much' and to hate on men..men commit suicide more often than women..let's talk about that.

I had a roomate that had those very light not painful short periods. But it seems to be a very rare exception

Used to have heavy, long periods (over a week long). Had 3 kids and breastfed forever and now they last barely two days and feel like nothing. I don’t even know they’re coming. Ovulation nearly floors me for a day or two, though.

I got a hormonal IUD like 7 years ago (got it replaced once) and after the spotting stopped after insertion (took like a month, ngl) I haven't had a period since. I highly recommend.

I use to have 7days & very heavy horrible cramps. Since 2020, ever since i stopped taking birth control, i only have 3 days, same time each month, less cramps, although i do get a horrible migraine at the start which makes me know imma be starting. So it is not a myth, because i would be one lol.. Though, makes me wonder/worry about my fertility.

I'd love to be that woman, I'm going on day 8 rn. And it's not a cute little light one. Plus, I just finished the previous one two and a half weeks ago. It's so much fun to have PCOS AND endo!

I was one of the "lucky" ones: 3 days of very light periods, but then I had infertility problems, endometriosis pain, and early onset menopause that's lasted for seven years and is still ongoing. Guess there's a trade off for everything.

Since I stopped taking the pill and had kids, my period is never longer than 3 days. Maybe two, if I‘m lucky. It was very strong at first but now it‘s laughable. I don‘t get cramps either. The only thing I do have, is a m*rder headache. The worst headache I ever had and ever will have. I would rather be in labor again for that one or two days a moth instead. I‘m actually thinking about asking for surgery or starting the pill again (a thing I did not ever want to do again).

I honestly need a pad for 2 days, then just a daily pad for light spotting. And at 34, I literally got my first ONE DAY of period cramps recently. We exist, although I have to say, we’re a small minority. And I’m honestly so sorry that most women go through this hell every month.

I have 3-4 days, usually. However, my flow is super heavy AND super painful. First day, I'm almost crying in pain, and it's the heaviest.

It's not. I'm one of those 3 days women, sometimes 4 days but it's rare. And I don't have cramps since I had my first child. So, overall periods are mostly a reminder that my body is working and that I'm not pregnant . So it's not all that bad (I was more freaked out when I was on the pill and didn't get them at all - that was scary) BUT I still have mad respect for periods as a whole. Some women really suffer and I find it incredibly sad and that we really should bring more awareness to that. Also the fact that healthcare still discriminate women by not taking their issues seriously enough. It makes me so angry.
