the post is about a Reddit user (OP) questioning whether they were in the wrong for disposing of their menstrual pads in their boyfriend’s bathroom and how he reacted to it. OP went to spend the night with her boyfriend who showed clear disdain and disgust over her used period pads despite the fact that she packed them tightly and up them in the dumpster and not somewhere else.
The boyfriend made the girlfriend feel bad but she asks fir the Redditor’s take on it as her brother also took the boyfriend’s side. It is understandable that the girlfriend may argue that disposing of period pads in her boyfriend’s bathroom trashcan is a normal and practical practice. She might feel that it is unfair or inconvenient to carry used pads in her purse, especially if she is visiting her boyfriend’s place for an extended period. She could believe that it is reasonable to expect basic accommodations for menstrual hygiene products in shared spaces. Let’s read the full story before we reach to the conclusion of who is the a-hole here.
