My husband has a habit of blaming my behavior/reaction on my period. For example, when we argue he’d say “I won’t argue anymore since you tend to act crazy when you’re on your period” or even say “I know you didn’t mean to do/say that but couldn’t help it since it’s that time of month for you…”. It’s so irritating and it prevents me from being allowed to express myself.
It happened again last night at the dinner table. We had an argument about him forgetting to fill my car with gas after he used it and when I expressed my frustration he said “we will not talk about this now since you appear to be on your period”. I said that I was not on my period and that this was just me feeling frustrated with him. He insisted he won’t talk about this then and insisted he won’t hear what I had to say since “I was on my period since I was being irrational during the argument”. I snapped and had enough. So I got up, stood in front of him while he was still eating and pulled down my pants and showed him my underwear. He made a grossed out face and shouted “f that’s nasty, I’m eating my damn dinner damnit”. We had a full blown argument and he said I acted horribly and ruined his appetite by pulling that nasty move. He told me to grow up and stop being spiteful over nothing.
He keeps saying I grossed him out during dinner and made him go to bed hungry. Am I A Jerk? Did I overreact?
