I got caught up in a major scandal in a supermarket while I was buying my wife tampons.

It’s fine for many women to ask their partners to get them tampons and bring them home. It’s perfectly normal to ask for help, and a lot of men are happy to do it. What our hero did was the same. He was a married 30-year-old man who just wanted to help his wife. But when he went to the store, he got caught up in a big, bad drama that he wasn’t expecting. He wrote to us about it to find out what we and our readers think about it.

A 30-year-old man recently sent us a letter in which he wrote about something that made him feel very bad. He began by saying that he is married and that his 28-year-old wife has very painful periods. He wrote that she can’t even leave the house on these days because she has terrible menstrual cramps, migraines, and feeling sick.

When she really needs menstrual pads or tampons because she is sick, she asks her husband to get them for her. The man said that these kinds of requests used to make him feel bad and gave an explanation for that.

“I would feel shy about getting my wife Jenny some pads or tampons when she asked me to,” he wrote. My family was very traditional, and my mom never talked to my dad or me about periods. She always made sure she had enough of these hygiene items for her next period when she bought them in bulk for herself. I had never heard her ask her dad to pick up tampons for her at the store, so when my wife asked me to do it for the first time, it was strange and uncomfortable for me.

Soon, it was no longer a problem for the man to buy tampons for his wife.

The man goes on to say that his wife has always been understanding and has only rarely asked him to buy her these private toiletries. But one time, she passed out because her stomach hurt so badly when she went to the store to buy pads on the first day of her period.

The man wrote that they talked after that case, and he told her she should ask him to buy tampons and pads from then on. The two of them talked about it a lot, and soon it was normal for him to buy her the pads. He only had a few problems left with buying her tampons because she had just started using them. He needed his wife to explain what kind of tampons he should buy and send him a picture.

The man wasn’t aware that he was helping his wife with this private matter again one day.

The man continues his story by saying, “Like every Monday, my wife texted me and asked me to pick her up some tampons at the store after work.” After that, she sent me a picture of the package she needed. That extra information would not have helped me because I am a man and have never used one.

When he went to the store, everything went wrong. He talked about what happened by saying, “So I was standing in the aisle looking at all the products for women.” I was still lost and confused even though I had a clear picture of what I needed to buy because I couldn’t find that box on any of the shelves. “Well, no matter how you dress, you’re still born a woman,” a woman said.

The man looked up to see who was talking to whom because he was lost. It looked like a woman in her 40s was just staring at him. Since they were the only ones in the aisle, he asked, “I’m sorry, are you talking to me?”

The woman then rolled her eyes and went on a rant about transgender people. She was being very mean to transgender people the whole time. As soon as she was done speaking, the man was shocked by her behavior. As he wrote, “I just laughed to show her that no one will take what she said seriously.” Her face turned bright red. I cut her off when she started to scream.

“Listen, lady,” he said to try to calm her down, “if I were born a woman, would I look as clueless and lost as I do now?” When was the last time you saw a man buy tampons for a woman?”

The man did a great job with the scandal.

The man goes on to say that he tried to tell a woman that buying tampons and pads for his wife is just what people call being a good husband. He helped his wife out by getting her tampons. “Now do you see this brand on the shelf?” he asked her as he pointed his phone at her.

Still, the woman didn’t say sorry for being so mean to the man and transgender people in particular. She moved back, her eyes wide, and her face worn out. Then she walked quickly down the aisle.

It was then that the man wrote, “I finally found the needed box, checked out, and made my beloved wife happy.”

We believe that what the man did was completely normal.

We’re thankful that the man put his faith in our editorial and told us this story.

First and foremost, we think it was very rude of the woman to say anything about someone buying something. She got involved in someone else’s private matter, and her comments were obviously not appropriate.

Instead of yelling at him and calling him and transgender people names, the woman should have let the man know that she could help him find the right package.

We believe the man did the right thing. In return, he wasn’t rude to her, and he told her everything in a calm and reasonable way. He didn’t add to the scandal by being angry about what was going on that way.
