She told me I'm 'too emotional' forgetting that I was on my period

These things happen, you know. We had a similar situation. I got hung up on a silly joke because my boyfriend forgot I was on my period, emotional moments, you know? Then we talked it out and cleared things up. I think you should also say clearly that you're hurt.

It seems like you reacted too much or something 😬

I was curious how long you have been together. If you are very new, the way you greet each other is also important.

@camkenari We've actually been together for 8 months. I can say this is the first time I've felt this hurt.

I think blaming yourself for being too emotional is more problematic, @bugun_degil. You need to see if what you called a joke disturbed the other person.

Such situations should be clarified without escalating the discussion because sometimes sensitivities are misunderstood due to gender roles. If you explain the weight of what you're going to say for you, the other side won't step on the same issue again.

@benbisorayim sometimes you don't need such analyses, this is just a little joke. When you drag it out, you make everything a hassle.

Look, I understand the breaking point, but I’d say don’t overthink it and stress about it this much. If it becomes a habit, then you can have a serious talk about how your partner behaves. Sometimes, things that can be brushed off as jokes feel bigger because of the way they're expressed.

The title says 'forgetting that I'm on my period', but this is a normal situation. Not everyone can achieve perfect hormonal balance with each other all the time. You get through it with empathy. We need to break out of this discussion loop.
