Thursday UNPOPULAR OPINIONS

[Deleted]

@wafflesfriendswork hold my earrings for me and give me an address.

I drive fast.

[pixiepink24]

What is wrong with people?!?!

[rachydc]

@wafflesfriendswork, sounds like something my mother would do to me. "Oh that's great, but why arent your eyebrows waxed?" I'm sorry that happened, but I'm almost positive it's from the persons own insecurities. They were probably jealous about your success.

[kristhegirl]

Waffles, you are lovely.

[queenofcats]

Fuck them, waffles. I'd be tempted to tell them to fuck themselves. I'm sorry that happened.

[kristhegirl]

I yelled at my husband to stop snoring last night, and he went and slept elsewhere. (The living room, I think. Not a hotel or something.) Really, he mostly snored while I was already up feeding Max, but the sound drives me right up the wall.

[rachydc]

I for the life of me, cannot understand women who send their SOs, spouses, etc... to get feminine products for them. Is your life that busy? Everyone knows I have a maniac toddler and I still found a way to go out and buy my own tampons. I get overwhelmed in that aisle. Why would I torture my poor husband for something I can easily get myself, or throw in the cart when we go shopping together?

ETA: Obviously this doesnt include circumstances where you're immobile or post-birth and can't psychically do it on your own and need them ASAP, but even then...PRIME!

rachydc I've never sent H to get any for me. He would have no clue. I bought a cup once and he said "I'm afraid to ask, I mean, is it really what it says it's for because that seems gross". As if tampons or pads aren't?

[lonegalathome]

rachydc, if they are on the list and he goes to the store he gets them. He's never cared.

rachydc , @kristyw13 , DH DGAF about any of that. If he's at the store and I need tampons, I have no qualms about asking him to get them for me. He will facetime/send me a photo from the aisle to make sure he has the right box. I love love love him for this very reason - especially because I don't think that this was something modeled in his household growing up. Obviously I try to keep that stuff stocked, but would never hesitate to ask for his help. He never shied away from anything post-partum related. He also recently told me that he's 100% down for period ST. None of this bothers him.

My husband would definitely do it if I asked him, but I always try and be stocked and spare him. He gets overwhelmed when I ask him for a specific brand of popcorn, the poor guy would probably drown in the feminine hygiene aisle! LOL He would also die before having period ST. I've done it in the past, NAF myself.

Same. If he's already going to the store I see no harm. I also don't see it as damaging to him. I'm not a fan of free bleeding but open dialogue about my period and the items I need for it are good for him.

[lonegalathome]

DH also has no problem with period ST. I'm like - ugh - who is going to clean up the mess?

I'm naf of the yoga video where the lady wears white and bleeds through her pants to make a point about period shaming. That is too much.

Yeah I don't feel like "free bleeding" is really helping the feminist movement. You do you, but it kind of falls into the same category as the weird vagina hats/costumes on the WMW for me.  

Is free bleeding a thing?!?!

[kristhegirl]

Why is it weird for men to purchase pads or tampons for their SOs? It's household stuff.

+1  It doesn't bother my husband at all.  If I need them and he's there, he gets them.  No big deal.

Wtf is free bleeding guys.

I am scared.

Not weird at all! I guess it came from a more personal experience and being Type A to the point of it biting me in the ass, that if I can do it myself, why wouldnt I? This stemming from his inability to follow simple directions of picking out a popcorn brand for me. He does it, but gets frustrated in uncharted grocery aisles  

But overall, hence why I posted in UO. Seems as though it's a true UO.

[catladymeow]

One time I was in the drugstore and a really confused man asked me to help him find the right kind of tampon for his wife. She had texted him what she needed and that aisle is SO overwhelming with choices he couldn't find the right thing. It was really sweet.

But anyway, yeah, I don't see the big deal about male partners buying feminine hygeine products. I've bought H stool softeners for after he had surgery. If I can do that (and have a conversation with the pharmacist about what the best options are, so basically I'm talking to a stranger about H's poop) he can buy me period supplies (this is somewhat moot because I use a cup).

[Deleted]

I guess I should clarify. H would buy them if I asked. He would most likely buy the wrong thing because he has no clue and there are a lot of choices. I just stock up, so it's never been an issue.

Yup, this is us as well!

[lonegalathome]

I bet my DH could find the right one even if I didn't tell him. He sees the box in the bathroom, and if we are in there together i'll ask him to grab me one while I'm on the toilet

that's probably an UO - I'll change my pad/tampon/cup in front of DH.

[wells2010]

H has bought me stuff. I'll send him a photo of the box and he is fine. He is also fine with period ST. Early in our relationship it came during ST and since then it hasn't been an issue.

Honestly though, id rather buy feminine products myself!

[rachydc]

Also, take everything I say with a grain of salt because I dont even fart around my husband (or anyone for that matter). In 6 years, he's heard a soft "poot" by uncontrollable accident. I dont think my family has ever heard me either (besides youth). However, I burp so loudly I shake the house. Every day. It probably grosses him out more than anything I'll ever do. There is no method to my madness, I'm a big ol' weirdo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SOFT POOT.

I am ded. LOLOLOLOL forever.

[amch8]

I don't believe in hiding my behaviors to keep the magic alive. H and I have a very loving marriage and an active sex life and I have farted, burped, peed, pooped, changed sanitary products, groomed myself, and various other gross things in front of him. My life is too busy to worry about what he sees.

[yl]

rachydc I'm in the same boat...MH will do it, and he has before, but it would stress him out because of all the choices, so I just try to do it myself. But we're also weird because we almost always go to the store together.

Definitely not doing it to keep the magic alive or worried about any of that stuff, if that were the case I wouldnt burp like an old fat man and do other gross stuff! It's not just my husband, it's everyone, like i mentioned. Just had to clarify since I felt this was directed at me

Good clarification! It was directed at you in the sense that your post reminded me of this, but I recall a J15 convo many moons ago when multiple people talked about not peeing or pooping in front of their spouses.

Someone was shocked that Id pump in front of my husband and mentioned how I should save some mystery for the bedroom. I was EPing, WTF else was I supposed to do?! I dont think Ive ever wanted to throat punch someone harder.

After I had to make an emergency room trip while pregnant AF because of a god damn insane planet of a hemorrhoid that they had to cut out of me, Ryan had to apply my ass cream for about 2 weeks.

The magic, we don't haz it.
