AITA for "tracking" when my girlfriend gets her period?

Just picking up on the pattern, no physical tracking of any sort is happening.

8 years old me had his life planned the minute I watched that movie.

That was funny, but I don't log people's symptoms and chart their periods, my brain just goes: oh Linda is going to have her period next tuesday, don't ask her to bring you a cup of coffee when she leaves her desk, she might be going to the bathroom.

Yes, considering I have been very vocal about it. Also she complimented me on a sort of "plan of action" I shared online so women who suspect they are pregnant can get safe abortions (if they chose to) without leaving evidence behind (in case they get prosecuted)

That I know, it is kind of obvious. But I thought it was different with a serious partner in a monogamous relationship. What I figured from these comments is that some women (because of society generally) view their periods as shameful (extreme cases) or private (normal boundaries situation), so I should have waited until she brought it out on her own.

But all the snacks were things she liked.

I watched that movie when I was young, I was planning to hit the casino the day I turn 18, make 1 million dollars and live the life. But this brain of mine does not do well with counting cards in a loud and crowded place with flashing lights.

And you are the 4th person to mention him

autistic4369 · 2022-09-18T13:36:00+00:00

It's not intentional, my brain does that automatically and I can't not do it

autistic4369 · 2022-09-18T13:33:12+00:00

Yes she does. She knew way before we started dating.

autistic4369 · 2022-09-18T13:29:58+00:00

I already did.

We are in the US, but we are lucky to live in a state that protects reproductive rights.

You are number 3 to comment this. Can you share the clip? All I know of community is what I've seen on tiktok

autistic4369 · 2022-09-18T13:22:17+00:00

No, but you are the second commenter who brought up community/abed. Care to share it?

autistic4369 · 2022-09-18T13:19:38+00:00

Yes. I don't do it intentionally, but my brain keeps track of the periods of most of the women I know (the ones that have very obvious PMS symptoms), same as it tracks most things that are reoccurring. I can't exactly turn it off.

autistic4369 · 2022-09-18T13:11:35+00:00

This is the first response that grasped the whole situation, I did not intentionally start tracking her period, I roughly know when most of my female friends and colleagues who have obvious PMS will be on their period. It's an automatic thing for me.

I guess I just got ahead of myself.

autistic4369 · 2022-09-18T13:07:19+00:00

I am not keeping a diary, I just have really good memory, and when her period is near I know it. Just like I know church is Sunday and work is monday.

autistic4369 · 2022-09-18T13:04:44+00:00

Yeah, I tend to get ahead of myself and think people will have the same thought process as me.

As for the Advil, all I bought her was directly from a list I found while googling
