So my wife and I have been married now for coming up on 9 years and she has developed a habit, that in my opinion is quite unexceptionable… She leaves her bloody menstrual cup on the bathroom counter and sometimes for days on in. It’s a major issue to me as I am extremely sensitive to the smell of blood due to combat related PTSD and overall opposed to a bloody cup within inches of where I keep my tooth brush, do my hair, Make-up ect…. This is something I have expressed to her and explained that im not alright with it but she is like “well what am supposed to do with it when im in a hurry?” And essentially blows it off…. Once I cleaned it myself as it was there for three days and drove me nuts… that I told her I would never do again is it’s not my responsibility. Secondly~ when she does decide to deal with it she uses one of our cooking pots to sanitize it in… and I know there is no risk to my health as she does clean the pot, it’s the thought that makes my stomach turn.

It is beyond me why the hell I’m the unreasonable one for not being ok with this and I don’t know what to do to get her to understand that this is not ok without being portrayed as the asshole. I would ask other people In my life for advice on what to do or if I’m being overly sensitive but I don’t want to embarrass her in the process…
