He Knows All, Period, Part 4

(My husband and I have flopped out on the bed. My period has just started and I’ve got cramps. My husband is always saying I shouldn’t be so hard on myself.)

Me: “My uterus has started its monthly campaign of hate.”

Husband: “It’s not hate!”

Me: “Yes it is. It’s hate. It hates me.”

Husband: “It’s not hate. It’s… mild rebellion!”

(I’m not convinced he understands how painful it can be, but I appreciate him trying to make me love my body.)
