I know how tempting it can be to be mad at a person who ignores you when you are sick, but from what you typed, it seems that you made quite the effort to avoid people and hide it. You cannot be mad at him for that.

It would have been better to just tell him very quickly, "Hey, I'm sorry but I'm feeling kinda sick right now." and then run to the bathroom. You can explain to him fully what really happened when you come back.

And i also agree with the people at the party. If there was someone going off into a corner, avoiding everyone, I would think that SHE'S the bad girlfriend. It's more like YOU were afraid of making a fool of yourself because of the circumstances. It doesn't hurt to tell one person that you're sick, rather than assuming that they can read you mind. They can't. He can't.

When you're in trouble. Tell someone. Don't worry about ruining the party because of your ill feelings. You obviously made it -worse- by not telling and I'm speaking from experience.

In fact, If you had told him earlier, he could have drove you home and gone back to the party to enjoy himself. It always works on better to tell someone.

You cannot revert the damage at this point. Because you made the wrong choice to hide in the first place. Just hope that people forget and learn from it. I have been in a similar situation and did the SAME thing you did because I didn't want to "ruin it for them". Turns out people DO notice that you don't want to be here... but they NEVER think it's because you're in pain..... because you don't ever tell them.

Now about the actually period problems. I cannot relate ^^;;; I have regular periods for 3-4 days on schedule with mild cramping on the first 1-2 days. A blessing I guess |D

I alternate between tampons and napkins regularly and when going out for extended periods, I do both, taking out the tampon midway. I cannot wear a tampon for more than 4 hours... neither a napkin, no matter how absorbent ^^;;

Maybe try something similar to avoid in the future?
