At the end of the day, this is some seriously toxic masculinity that has no place in a healthy relationship. It may seem sudden and a little extreme to break up right after this event, but how someone treats you in little moments is indicative of how they’ll support you in the long term:
“It’s never just the tampons. Masculinity that fragile manifests in so many other ways.“

“Good for you. It’s not about the tampons either, it’s about the act of love and care for another. Know your worth. 🙌”

“While you could say this isn’t a big enough deal on its own to end things, I would argue that it’s a very bad sign of things to come. Enough so that ending things can be justified.”
