Tmiii: advice?
So i recently found out that i gave my partner a yeast infection and its like eating away at me. Unfortunately this is not my first doing that, i have a medical condition that makes me more susceptible to yeast infections and makes it harder for me to notice symptoms ( didnt have any of the telltale signs of it prior to having sex). And although he said its fine, some of the other word choices that he used has been making me feel extremely.... triggered.
this is the first time ive had sex with since my last partner called me disgusting cos i ended up getting my period during sex. this partner said i shouldve been more careful and all these things. but its hard explaining to people, let alone men, that my condition affects the way my entire body operates. and it was even more hurtful when he kept comparing my body to his ex of 8 years.
my body doesnt operate like a normal women’s. my periods come unexpectedly, they last longer than normal some months. some months the pain makes me passout, some months i dont get any pain. my body is very sensitive. so i do feel a little alienated having to explain this to people because they think everything is so simple when its not. esp because my condition is “invisible” (you couldnt tell i suffer from it because its not outwardly displayed on my body).
but outside of periods, i get yeast infections over the smallest things. my medication dosage could change and i now have a yeast infection. my current partner told me that thats something i shouldve told him prior to sex, but the last time i gave someone a yeast infection was 2 years ago. so up until now i thought i hadnt had any and it wasnt something worth mentioning. either way im feeling really shitty about myself, im frustrated with my condition because its making it hard for me to love myself if im gonna be honest, and i just feel very alone.
has anyone experienced anything similar?
