In a classic case of poor judgment, a Reddit user named Mark decided to snap a picture of his wife, Lisa, in what she called her “comfort outfit” during her period, without thinking through the consequences. Let’s be real—when is it ever a good idea for your husband to take a candid shot of you in an uncoordinated, cozy ensemble chosen purely for maximum comfort? The answer is, of course, NEVER. But Mark apparently thought otherwise. He shared the not-so-flattering image on Reddit, captioning it with the cringe-worthy line, “This is my wife’s ‘don’t even think about it, I’m on my period’ outfit.” Real classy, right?
Lisa’s outfit featured a pair of grey animal-print pajama pants paired with a baby-blue robe decorated with snowmen. To top it off, she wore fuzzy wool socks, likely to keep her cozy against the chilly bathroom floor. While this might be her “period outfit,” many women can relate and would argue that this look is more like their “every winter day” ensemble. After all, what else are you supposed to wear during that time of the month? A glamorous negligee?
One Reddit user chimed in, “Wait, am I your wife? Because I’m rocking almost the same thing right now—complete with chocolate ice cream stains!” It’s clear that Lisa’s outfit didn’t just represent her comfort but resonated with many others.
We can only guess what led to the snapshot being taken, but it’s easy to assume Lisa wasn’t posing for a photo (cue the eye roll). Mark might have felt a bit rejected due to the nature of menstruation, which is often a common reason for couples to hit pause on intimacy. But instead of addressing it like a mature adult, he took to the internet to vent his frustrations—definitely not the best move!
Redditors quickly came to Lisa’s defense, as internet users often do: one user sarcastically wrote, “Oh, she’ll love this! A photo of her in pajamas on the internet for thousands to see!” Another added, “If I were your wife, I’d be furious. That’s just not cool!” And the final word of wisdom? “RIP Mark.”
To his credit, Mark did manage to keep Lisa’s face and name out of the post. However, his username might not be quite as discreet. It’s likely just a matter of time before she finds out about the shade he threw her way.
Mark later joked in the comments about looking into divorce lawyers, which probably isn’t the best way to smooth things over. He would do well to admit his mistake to Lisa and plan a cozy night in with her favorite snacks, a foot rub, and perhaps a nice glass of wine—lots of it!
