TELL YOUR STORY#56- PERIOD IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO HAVE AN ATTITUDE

PERIOD” IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO HAVE AN ATTITUDE

“ Period is not an excuse to have an attitude”....

Yes, I said what I said “a period is not an excuse to have an attitude.

You have to cook, he said.

Am I going to go to bed hungry?

I just moved into Fredrick's apartment, we are engaged and our marriage is in two weeks.

I wailed and curled at home, unable to go to work. My period had just began.
Just a little sleep will relieve me, I said as I laid on the couch in the parlour.

“Just a little rest, then I'll fix something for Frederick and I when I wake up”... I said.

“Wake up….”

“Oh my God…”
Good evening babe… It's evening already

I got back from work, banged on the door, didn't get a response. I used my spare key inside, showered and discovered my dinner has not been set yet, you are sleeping peacefully on the couch.

I'm sorry… it's my period..
I said as I stepped out of the couch to give him a warm hug.

Excuse me…
“Period is not an excuse to have an attitude”... He said

I held back from the hug, as I stared blankly in utter bewilderment unable to fix in the right words.

Yes, I repeat period is not a reason to have an attitude.

“You have to cook. Am I going to go to bed hungry?”...

“But it can be ordered babe…” I said as my eyes clouded in tears.

“No, I want it fresh, prepared by you”... he said

I left him in the parlour as I headed to the room, to rest my head. This is the first time he has ever seen me on my period since we got engaged. While courting, we only spoke through phone I never visited when I am on my period. As I left to the room, my mind wandered. This is whom I am going to spend my life with and yet he didn't understand period meant…

Vagina cramps, asshole cramps, abdominal cramps, mood swings, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, bleeding for seven days, fatigue, sudden loss of appetite, a bigger appetite, intense cravings, sore nipples and breast, nausea, vomiting, breakouts, headaches, dizziness, flatulence, lower back pain, waist pain yet, he insisted I make dinner.

I laid on the bed, but my thoughts wandered far. It was enough reasons for me to back out of the marriage “period is not an excuse to have an attitude, but the attitude which comes gets beyond control”.

I know this is not enough reasons to you for calling off my marriage, but it's enough red flag for me to call off the marriage. If he can't change to handle me on my period how then will he help me if I'm pregnant. It's about a peaceful and healthy marriage I don't need any toxicity kind of marriage.

I rather have a broken relationship than a broken marriage.
