Honestly anytime he asks a question about periods and I tell him the answer and he responds with "yeah idk that doesn't sound right" just to google it himself and find the same answer I told him in the first place.

My discharge bleached my black underwear once and turned part of it kinda yellow, and my boyfriend thought I had peed in my underwear. He thought my pee turned my black underwear yellow, even after I explained how discharge can bleach underwear...
