Why do men always trivialise women’s pain?
First thing first, I’m no ku niang. I have a high threshold of pain. I used to do endurance sports and I’m the sort to complete a sport even with torn muscles and dropping nails. I’ve never given birth so I won’t comment on that.
Usually when I do make squeak on my pain, I am usually in a lot of pain already and I’m not looking for some girly attention. It pisses me off whenever my partner just laughs off and trivialise my pain. And that is his default reaction.
I fell on a sharp rock while hiking overseas and landed right on my tailbone. I felt a cracking that jolted through my entire spine and I couldn’t stand. I was on the ground muttering “I’m in pain… very painful”. He didn’t think anything about it. I spent the next week of our holiday hardly able to move but got better by to tahan to go canyoning and slide amd jump off rocks although I am still feeling pain. At some point of the holiday he mocked me by imitating me when i was on the ground recovering from my pain. Turn out, I had a fracture and I couldn’t sit for long for the next 6 months.
Crash on my mountain bike while going downhill and plunged into the bushes with cuts? First thing first. Laugh at me.
Injured my foot? He’s all blasé like you are fine. My x-Ray later showed a healed fracture.
Sure I get you are all manly. Some empathy from you would be nice sometimes. This coming from someone who whines from deep heating rub creams which are too hot for his tender skin, but noooo…. my fracture is just me being dramatic. Thanks ah. Nah beh
*bracing myself for all the ,”for starters, behave more like a (weak)woman.” This is for you
