I’ve recently starting dating a new guy. We work together so we see each other almost daily, and text a lot when we don’t.

I have really awful periods that basically keep me in bed on the first day because of the pain. (I’ve been to the doctor about it, apparently nothing’s wrong.) I got my period today and he was texting me asking how my day went. It was horrible, because I was doubled over with cramps all day. I didn’t want to just dump all that on him though so I said it was okay.

If your girlfriend is in pain because of her period would you want her to tell you, or to just keep it to herself? I know there’s not really anything he could do to help but idk.
