What doubt? She went to an out of state uni to get away from her hometown and tells him he can't come visit. There's literally no part of this story he could be exaggerating on, dude needs to get some self esteem and end things but she's being a p terrible human being over it so I dunno why anyone would root for her here.

Why are you assuming "you can't visit/I don't want to entertain you" means she's cheating and not that she's just socializing at college? I agree that she should probably explicitly break up with him, but it's a jump to assume she's focused on loving Chad Thundercock and not just getting into the swing of things at college, which visits from a clingy, controlling (note his bit about how it's time to her to change, because he already did enough changin') hometown boyfriend tend to put a huge drain on.

I give her the benefit of the doubt as long as her roommates know about him.

I mean, judging by the story, if she cheated on him she'd just break up with him. Maybe without mentioning cheating, but it's kind of irrelevant.

If she wanted to see him she wouldn't hem and haw over the logistics of him visiting. There's literally nothing to argue about here. Dude is obviously a naive wiener but that doesn't make it acceptable to string him along either.

Me [20F] with my SO [35M] freaked out about me mentioning that I am on my period and said I was acting unladylike

Hi reddit, basically as the title says, my SO freaked out when I told him that I am on my period.

For context, BF (Joe) and I have been together for 6 months. He's a great guy and my first real boyfriend. This is also the only real blip we've had in our relationship, because he's very keen for me to move in with him.

So basically my period started last night, and the day it starts I sort of always feel a bit icky, bloated and can get some pretty bad stomach cramps. Last night my cramps were particularly bad, so I decided to stay in bed with netflix. Joe was over and asked me what's wrong. Well considering menstruation is a fact of life, I basically said to him, "nothing's wrong, I just have my period and I feel a bit gross". Well Joe freaked the gently caress out and said to me that it's unladylike to speak about that in front of men, that he doesn't want to hear about it, that it's inappropriate, gross and disgusting to mention that to your partner.

Joe is my first real boyfriend, so I apologized to him because I sort of see where he is coming from, because periods are gross and its not something that men have to deal with. I think he accepted my apology, but he didn;t stay the night at mine and went back to his house. I never really got a chance to talk to him about it, because whenever I mentioned how it's not a big deal, that it's normally he would block his ears and say I am being disgusting.

Am I right to be a bit annoyed with my SO? I mean all I said was "I have my periods, so I feel a bit gross and bloated", I dont think that's too gross to handle. Is it a normal reaction for your partner to be so averse to the mention of periods?

tl;dr: Mentioned to my SO that I have my periods, he freaked out and said it's gross, crass and unladylike to talk about infront of men

if it had nothing to do with her wanting to distance herself from her boyfriend then she'd be cool with him visiting. Maybe she hasn't already done something but it's obviously an option.

My [21M] boyfriend is mad at me [20F]. He saw a celebrity and he's mad because I told him it's best to leave them alone.

This happened a while ago but my boyfriend is a huge wrestling fan. A while ago we saw Bobby Roode out with his children and wife. I said it's best to leave them alone and not to bother him. He listened to me and now he won't get off my case about not letting him meet him. To me it just did not seem like a good time, am I wrong considering breaking up over this?

Every time he gets a chance he brings it up and trys to make me feel bad. I was only seeing it from this guys perspective. I just thought he would not like some randoms coming up to him and bothering him.

tl;dr: Boyfriend keeps giving me grief and I want to break up.

Just because it might be an option doesn't mean it's 100% for sure happening and it's rather ungenerous to just assume that she must be cheating because she ~~likes attention~~. I agree that if she doesn't want to be together anymore she definitely shouldn't, but she might not really know what she wants right now unfortunately for him. It's a bad thing to keep stringing someone along though, that much is for sure and for both their sakes I hope she figures it out and takes action either way.

Also, I really don't think denying a hometown sweetie permission to come see you out of state is necessarily a sign of breaking up. It really can be an major inconvenience when it comes to roommates especially if she is sharing a bedroom with another person and also you have the obligation to entertain this person who drove hours to come see you and do homework all in two days. It's a headache to say the least.

Combined with all the other things I can see where this guy is worried about the relationship ending, though I bet he doesn't see that a big problem is his controlling attitude towards the whole thing. This girl's life is just beginning and he is getting left behind and he is drowning in self-doubt.

This exact situation has happened since the dawn of humans though. I'm sure some Dear Abby clone has tackled this poo poo before reddit was even a twinkle in some coder's eye.

There is literally no person in an actual college relationship that wants to be with someone and bone that would give 2 shits about their circumstances or surroundings when it came to inviting them over. She just doesn't want to see him. As a freshmen I lived in a 2 person per room dorms and everyone worked out a way to have their bae over, she just doesn't want that. I straight up don't get the point of defending her.

Like yeah the dude is a clingy weiner and we should all laugh, he comes across as desperate and potentially controlling but she's no catch either.

Untrue, though I liked and respected my dorm roommates and they me.

I'm defending her because I identify with her and her situation. And also because dude seems like a controlling rear end in a top hat without a clue.

What is the point in defending him then if he's such a nerd?

I envy you for going to college somewhere where sleepovers were no big thing; this was not generally my college experience. Maybe her roommates aren't cool with it, or it's against the dorm rules, or he'd have nowhere to sleep but the floor. (Two people in a twin extra-long bed is a tricky proposition at best.)

Even if the logistics were fine, though, this clearly seems like a guy who would be insufferable to entertain for a weekend, because he obviously doesn't support her in what she's doing at all. Do you know how loving awful it is to host an SO for a weekend at college when said SO is going to spend the entire time complaining every time you do anything that isn't hanging out with them? It is wretched. He's clearly opposed to her even being at the college; why should she invite him so he can have a whole weekend to tell her about how she shouldn't be there?

A lot of his other issues are all totally legit things for her to do. For the love of God, he's railing at her about saying that she doesn't want to get married until after college, which is the most reasonable plan in the history of reasonable plans. It's pretty clear that he'll only be happy if they get hitched immediately, or she sits at college pining for him, and that's really not fair to expect of her.

I think they should break up I just dunno how you can go "well she refuses to have him over because it's inconvenient and doesn't offer an alternative date" and not realize that's not just a bullshit excuse to cover for "I don't actually want you visiting me".

Like be real with me if you could bet money on it would you go with "she's gonna break up on amicable terms" or "she's gonna find someone else first then break up".

e: again I literally lived in 2person per room dorms and everyone that had highschool sweethearts had them over and boned them in the dorms, we just reached agreements with our roommates. If she actually wanted it to happen, it absolutely could happen.

Your experience =/= everyone's experience, whether that be living situations, class loads, or relationships. I don't think anyone here is saying the girl is a saint, she should break up with him if she really doesn't want to see him, but we only have so much information on that front. People are focusing on him since he sounds like a controlling dick and he's the one that made the post. Your fixation on her cheating on him is weird though man, there's no evidence in the story that it's likely at all other than his snide comment about her getting drunk and liking attention.

Ghosting him would be acceptable at this point, imo.

Saying "I want to finish school before getting married" shouldn't be an objectionable statement. If you don't support your partner focusing on their career, education, and self-development (and they yours), you probably aren't mature enough to get hitched. I can't even imagine planning and having a wedding during school. Things are stressful and expensive enough.
