Dear GC Readers,

I do not even know what to call him, a boyfriend or some weirdo who claims to love me and wants to marry me but because of his personal philosophy, I cannot call him, visit him or be near him anytime I am on my menses. And I have to always text him the very day I see red each month to inform him of ‘probably my disgust’.

I know this sounds stupid and weird; this is exactly what I think about it. I have been in a relation for 8 months with this guy and after doing just as he wants inline with whatever philosophy it is, I am tired and I think he is taking the piss.

My worry is that, he says he wants to marry me. So if we marry and it is that time of the month, what will happen? I asked him this and he said when we get to that bridge, we will cross. Another stupid answer to a serious question I guess.

My boyfriend claims he is not a weirdo and there several men out there like him just that I don’t know them and several women are able to be with these men so it should not be a problem for me. Of course it is a problem for me because it is beginning to upset me more and more.

I don’t understand this and I think this man is up to something. Is this normal? Am I supposed to endure this monthly isolation in the name of love?

Please help with your thoughts/advice.
