Wow. I think James is fucked.

Rat him out.

My version of that story ended with her taking advantage of being 14 hours away and cheating.

Pretty certain nothing will happen, that is - you fucked that friendship up huge, dude.

You had a friend, you got a crush, you took your shot. got shot down, and didn't get the message.

And then you went full stupid.

Yeah, that friendship is done, dude.

That Amway gag was so funny, though.

I was on teh phone, long distance, with a friend. In the background, I hear his daughter yell "Jimmy glued his mouth shut!"

"Gotta go, bye!"

I renovated my condo last year, nothing epic, paint and new shelves.

Somehow, I managed to lose my birth certificate and medical records during the process. I mean, I remember thinking "I need to put these in a good spot, so they don't get lost in teh shuffle".

Damned if I can remember where that good spot was.

Knew a guy in high school who did something like that. We sold chocolate covered almonds, 2 bucks a box.

Dude was... well, he was one of those people who is unpopular because he was dumb, obnoxious, untrustworthy, and super stinky.

He ate all his stock. Like, 150 dollars worth. And then just sorta hoped nobody would ever follow up to get the money, I guess.

Every Friday for months, teh student council president would show up at home room, ask for the money, and he give an excuse. By the end, he was crying every week, but that little blond cheerleader wasn't taking no for an answer.

I guess in the end, his parents paid it off.

Well, lesson learned. Never, ever, take your eyes off the road to do something like you did.

A friend did a similar thing in her new car, just after getting her license - went right through an iron fence.

Anyway -lesson learned, right?

Sure, if by "all the comments" you mean a half dozen out of 50 or 60 comments.

You should probably learn to read a bit better.

I said that what it seems like you really want to say to the OP. Cater to her because she's on her period.

I never said it's healthy, but it's the only way the OP wasn't going to get shit on in this exchange.

He literally said "nah", which is a clear refusal.

Then, she came out angry, and claimed it was because of her period - and he literally told her it wasn't the issue.

He didn't actually tell her he didn't want to stand in bloody water, he had a mental image of it. So, he actually did the opposite of making a big deal, he actually said it's not the issue.

It's amazing the contortions you'll do to make this his fault, as opposed to just saying "Dude, she's on her period and cranky. Do what she asks or she'll get pissy"

Based on what, exactly?

they are on a lovely vacation, they just went out, had a nice time, and some drinks. Why would she be angry before?

dude's squeamishness was the last thing he mentioned, and it was what he said at teh end of his GF giving him shit. Yet, somehow, you avoid the fact she was angry before he said a word, and make it all about the blood.

She was angry when she came out, she "had one in the clip". That's what you overlook,because "omg, guys just don't get it!"

I will.

She's right - dude turned the shower down because he was tired and drunk. GF came out pissy, and picked a fight.

He didn't shoot her down, though. He was semi-drunk and tired, and just wanted to lie on the bed.

It wasn't until she came out after the shower and picked a fight that he made the red water comment.

And, considering the sheer number of "educating men 'bout periods" posts that go on about unexpected flowers and gushers and clots...I can't blame somebody for having the thought he did.

And he wasn't in the mood for a shared shower. Guys are allowed to not want to have sex, or to not get the hint.

I mean, personally? Sex or not, I'd turn down that experience. Shower sex isn't fun, and for me, neither is sharing a shower or tub.

Seems like a double standard to be angry because dude wasn't thinking about sex on demand.

"What if something happened?"

Like, what? Ninjas? Soap in her eyes? I mean, if she slipped and fell, he would hear her, right?

I mean, he told her he didn't have an issue with her having her period, AND he pointed out he was tired and buzzed, and just wanted to lay there. the bloody water part was like, the last, least item.

GF just wanted to be pissy about something. I mean, you're allowed to not want to share a shower without being some kind of regressive male beast.

Also, based on the number of times Reddit has post about women having an unexpected "gusher" and octaclots, that whole "4 seconds, no issue" seems contrary to what you actually experience.
