I really sympathise with your situation and agree that putting earphones in when you speak is abusive and personally I would give them one warning and then if it happened again it would be over. I have heard of other men doing this before and it disgusts me. I know it’s hard for men but it is massively worse for us as it is us experiencing the hormonal changes! Men can go out or have a break from a situation ( in a respectful way though) but we cannot get away from our bodies.It’s easy to say what we would do through, when you are not in the situation yourself and in reality we don’t really know what we would do unless it happens to us. I really hope your situation improves and I’m sending a big hug and understanding. Also I’d like to add it women’s suffering through decades of periods, pregnancy, childbirth, post natal depression, birth injuries, peri and menopause that keeps the world going, so I think we kind of have the right to ask for some understanding support and help!

Hi Katherine

Thank you for the post hunni
It has only happened once with the earphones and I feel that people are easy to say they would do this and do that if they are not experiencing this themselves and on top of struggling with crippling anxiety I do not want posts suggesting I am being abused! I am not being abused  ;D :D ;D but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I feel I have hijacked Moonshines original post which wasnt my intention. So apologises for that Moonshine. I now will class my issue as closed as I am no longer feeling comfortable discussing my situation as it has been blown out of context to a whole diff level.

Hi losingtheplot, apologies if you were upset by some of the posts and that you are anxious, but when you post on a forum asking for people’s help then it is inevitable that people will give their opinions. I spent time and a lot of thought in my post as I do all my posts on here, was careful how I worded it and was trying to be supportive and I also said I realise people may not do the same as they think they would if they were put in this situation. I understand that  you no longer wish to discuss it but I also feel the need to speak from my perspective. I too am suffering albeit in other ways and took time to post because I want to help and I find it offensive that you post laughing emojis in response to such a heartfelt time consuming post. Anyway I’ll leave it there and I won’t be reaching out again.

Hi losingtheplot,

Apology accepted. I understand, I am really struggling too and it is natural to get angry sometimes.

I wish you the best and hope that everything works out for you. I’m going to step out of this post as I’m struggling myself but I do wish you the best.
