You don't need me to tell you that periods suck, but, in case you forgot, they so do. It would be grand if our boyfriends showed a little support, am I right? Listen up, boys, here are 10 things we all wish our boyfriends would do for us when we're on our periods:
1) Buy tampons.
I know this is uncomfortable for you, but please. I need them so badly.
2) Buy chocolate
All the feels about everything in life are stressing me out. Chocolate is like instant medicine. It makes everything better.
3) Buy bananas.
According to healwithfood.org, bananas may help reduce cramps associated with menstruation. Yes, please.
4) Bring me Ibuprofen and some water.
When I realize that the bananas aren't reducing my cramps fast enough, please get me some good, old fashion pain meds. I feel better already.
5) Make me food.
I'm starving and crampy and grumpy and pleaseeee just make me a grilled cheese.
6) Shower me in compliments.
Although I would never admit it, I am very, very sensitive right now. Please shower me in compliments because you don't understand how bloated and ugly I feel right now.
7) Reassure me that everything will be OK.
Worries amplify tenfold when you're on your period. When I'm freaking out, please reassure me I'll be alright.
8) Let me yell at you for no reason.
This is not fair to you in any way, but it would be great if you'd let me yell at you about anything I feel like. I apologize in advance.
9) Stay with me and cuddle for hours.
I know I'm asking for a ton of favors, but I'm going through a lot right now, OK?
10) All of these things. Over and over again.
Just until I stop dying.
