I do everything on list 😳

What? So we just let guys take a wild guess as to when we're on our periods? Did I miss something?

Sounds like a lot of work to keep a man happy the are they are the true definition of high maintenance. I only wish they read an article about what not to do to us

Lolololol....omg, I do all this and more and he LOVES it 😊 loves me! Is this for real, he's my best friend, it's awesome, I can tell him anything, and a great guy doesn't get upset over these things and totally does the dishes on his own, no nagging ;)

Should be "your" in the title-not "you're"

Okay hang on a second, your boyfriend doesn't want you to tell him when you're sad?? Aren't they supposed to be there for you and comfort you just like you do to them

It's a lot of things he says

This is so fucking sexist. Women should be able to tell their boyfriends when they're feeling sad and if they're on their periods. There is nothing you can do about that. Why the fuck should we have to bend over backwards to meet their sexual needs?!

@Kira Hanna Keppel exactly!

What's the point in this article exactly??
