Period Drama Leads to Breakup: Was She in the Wrong?
Our heroine found herself in a whirlwind of drama when her period arrived during a New Year’s visit to her then-boyfriend’s family. Despite the painful and heavy flow due to suspected endometriosis, she was asked to ‘hide’ her period by not flushing the toilet.
