      Only if he had access to it. Keep in mind that this was a new phone that was bought for her, so the guy had access to it.
      If OP's phone has a password that the bf doesn't know, then he can't install anything.
      But I wouldn't put it past the bf to at least want to do that, if he had not already if given the chance.

      I mean, as a guy I can't say much, but I've also had girlfriends, female friends and have had to buy tampons for said gf and friends. The question I have is---are they really that bad? All of the girls I mentioned above preferred them over pads because they were less messy/gross/less smelly and were easier to hide/carry around. And that unless you put it in wrong...you can't feel them at all. Even got a nifty little string to pluck it out and everything.
      And just so you know, I'm being sincere---like I've heard nothing good about pads and everything good about tampons. Is it just...individual?

Pads are so easy to take out and put in so there no blood stains down there when you take it off when it comes to tampons there are few drops of blood stains down there and you need to find The vaginal part to put the tampon in I usually don’t have time for that because I’m in a hurry so with pads you just stick it in ,I hope I explain my opinion so yeah it up to individual

      @King Blanketfort yes! It it completely about the comfort level of the person using the product. If someone sees more pros than cons to pads or is more comfortable with the idea of pads than tampons, that’s their personal preference. Everyone’s preferences are diverse and there’s no guaranteeing what product someone may want to use.

      He may have a legitimate reason that it bothers him, and it could be very valid to him. The problem that I have is that if that's the case, then he should have talked to her about it and explained why. She may have understood. My ex hurt her back and demanded that I change hers for her. It completely grossed me out and there was no way I could do it. I had to call her girlfriend to do it. She was pissed, but sorry, I just couldn't do it. PS. I also couldn't change poopy diapers either. I vomited every time I tried.

      Not to mention that pads just generally feel messy once they get saturated, at least in my opinion. It's like wearing a diaper, which always seems to end up feeling sticky and gross. And the feeling of blood suddenly coming out is also nasty, tampons just instantly soak it up so you don't have to feel that. No judgement on people who prefer pads/can't wear tampons, but they feel way more hygienic than pads, and if my boyfriend pulled that on me then I'd 100% just bleed on his sheets. No way in hell am I ruining perfectly good clothes because a necessary hygiene product got thrown out by an ignorant man-child.

      @@samsara9253 As someone who's been though something similar, I can explain a couple things. You are correct in the part where child custody becomes lax when kids become teenagers (14-16 depending on where) so the teenager can choose the custody, at that age. So it seems like, in this case, OP was in the father's custody or just ended up in the custody of the father because his mother left the family with the new husband. However, because OP's dad and grandparents were absent, he kinda had no choice to stay with his mom, since he's still a minor, until his dad or grandparents come back. Also, it's already really difficult for a child to handle parental divorce, so imagine when it's not only because of cheating but also his mother left them with the other man for who knows how long;;; I've been through that and it was really difficult to keep my resentment on the downlow, I still have some resentment towards my dad and the woman he left with. It takes a lot of therapy, individually and family-wide, because it greatly scars a child, even if both parents and the family of the cheating parent are nice. It's really difficult.

      Same. Pending his answer, I might compromise. My hubby and I were virgins when we married eachother with similar religious beliefs. He thought I could control my period and it took some time for him to understand leaks happen even when I take extra measures to prevent them.
      Took awhile for him to understand enough to accept my cycle and even predict it before I learned to track my own cycle. True ignorance is something that can be worked with. I suspect this is true ignorance and misconceptions at play. I'd retaliate by borrowing his clothes for the duration of the tossed tampon cycle if he's not willing to learn though.if If he doesn't let me use them, I'd rockout on his side of the bed naked with a towel to contain the mess until my period was over.

    Tracking apps do serve a valuable function, but using them in this manner is a huge violation.
    What if the couple broke up? Would he then admit to installing the app and help her remove it, or would he be able to track her every move still? That's fucking creepy.
    The problem isn't the tracker, it's the lack of consent. A person should be able to choose if, when and to whom their location is revealed.
    The next problem is context. Knowing where someone is doesn't mean you know what they're doing in that location. You don't know why they're there, who they're with, etc. This isn't quite the "gotcha" information people assume it is in cases like suspected cheating. Most extra-marital affairs happen in the workplace, and she would just appear to be at work.
    You might claim it's for her safety. That is a valid use for trackers. But in that scenario, she should know about it and be instructed in how to use it. And it wouldn't be the only app installed for that purpose. A voluntary tracker (something like Life360 for example) is usually loaded alongside ICE, and a push-to-talk app like Zello, and emergency contact list, crash-detections, etc. None of them are hidden, they are made exceedingly accessible and prominent on the phone.
    Due to the lack of information GPS location actually gives you, what else has he installed to bridge the contextual data gap? Has he ratted the phone? Enabled a call-recorder? Given himself access to SMS, Emails, Photos and Videos? Where does this actually end?
    How trusted is this tracking app? What data does that company collect, and who do they sell it to? How secure is it from third parties? Most of these apps are very insecure, super-easy to compromise (they're designed to not be detected, which is a hacker wet-dream). Lots of people would love to know when you're away from your home. It makes it easy to steal your packages or even break-in, and these apps have been used for that explicit purpose.
    What other liability is there? In many lines of work, having such an app on your phone would be grounds for immediate termination or even criminal charges. Imagine a solider with such an app giving away his unit's position. Or what if they have some contractual obligation to maintain confidentiality. Maybe she cleans some famous person's house... now you have their address, which she would not be at liberty to disclose. Hell, maybe she just delivers pizzas, but that telemetry data over time reveals the geographic location trends and sales volumes of her employer's customers, which is valuable data to a competitor. There are so many possible abuses, many employers would immediately terminate any employee who had location tracking enabled.
    Apps like this are great if you have young children, a disabled family member, or perhaps an older relative with dementia who's prone to wandering off. But you don't need to clandestinely track your spouse.

    That last story had me going “Whaaaaat?!” The OP should divorce this guy immediately because this is the start of a long train wreck of a marriage. Get out and save yourself some grief! “Ryan” is a manipulative, controlling, narcissistic asshat. Take a look at the sentence “He says I do a lot things he hates, but he puts up with it.” OP doesn’t see anything wrong with that sentence? That right there alone told me how this story was going to go. I was left scratching my head too at first because his demands made no sense, but more I thought about it, the more it sounds like he’s trying to control her. I’m willing to bet their whole relationship has been like this and now that they’re married, he’s really clamping down. This is exactly what happened to a friend of mine. When she her ex were just dating he was very cool and seemed like a nice guy. Over time though his true colors slowly began to emerge. In hindsight my friend says she saw the red flags right then but decided to ignore them and then they got married and her life became a living hell. He was emotionally abusive, controlling, manipulative, and cheated on her constantly. It go so bad she later told me she considered ending herself just to not have to deal with him anymore. Luckily though she pulled herself out of that and she and her kids got away. She’s much happier now and she’s like a completely different person. So yeah OP needs to get out.

    A few thoughts on that last story:
    a) I sincerely hope this is just a case of “this dude grew up in an incredibly sexually misinformed/strict family that considered tampons to be sinful” or something similar, cuz that’s the only way I can think of that he got it into his head that tampons are the enemy. Or maybe he visited some weird forums online.
    b) That “you do a lot of things I hate but I put up with them” comment is concerning. In every couple, each person will have habits/preferences that _annoy_ or _frustrate_ the other, and that’s normal. There will be things that each person has to “put up” with. But if _hate_ is coming into the equation, that’s different. That’s something that really needs to be worked on.
    c) This guy is very petulant and rude and has messed-up ideas about menstrual hygiene, but I don’t quite get “overly controlling” vibes (you could argue that throwing out the tampons is a way in which he’s overly controlling, but to me it seems to stem more from major insecurity). However, what worries me is the easy transition from “you do a lot of things I hate but I put up with them” to “nobody else will put up with you; you’re lucky I do,” which is emotionally abusive.

Before then, we would stuff yards of roller gauze up the nose with a long forceps…think of a curved tweezers. This was left for often a day, and then was removed. The removal was not pleasant for anyone involved, and often bleeding would resume, rinse and repeat. Another treatment was to touch the bleeding spot (using a nasal speculum to visualize) with a concentrated silver nitrate ‘match’ to burn the site. For penetration wounds, they would also put pressure on the surrounding tissue, and would be used with a direct pressure on the wound. Still only temporary measure until the site can be opened to tie or cauterize the bleeders. And be washed and derided. But, blood can filter through large areas of tissue, hence ‘bruising’ from hematoma formation.

I briefly dated a guy in the 90s who felt the same about tampons. Caught him throwing them away, I shut him down quick with "when you get your period, you can choose what you use to deal with it. As for me, it's MY choice!" He argued that tampons were dangerous/invasive and can cause medical problems but like you're guessing, I think he too thought it was a sexual competition, which is so bizarre. We didn't last because he also hated that I wore makeup and liked getting my nails/toes done.

OP wrote that his mom invited him over many times to stay at her new home and family and that he didn't want to do that. The mother didn't abandon her son, the son cut contact with his mom. She did abandon just her husband and not her child. It's really a horrible situation when you don't want to hurt your kid by forcing him into situations where he is miserable, but that also means that you lose your relationship.

    Story 2: This is deeper than people realize. And I only say that because of the line where the EP starts belittling the mom and telling her everything that makes her not perfect. That's toxic, that's a red flag and for their kid to lash out and be so spoiled. You gotta realize that he's getting that from someone not from just being a kid.
    I have a mom like that sadly, so take into account how the kid is acting and how she is acting and wonder. Is she saying those hurtful things to the kid as well? She's a single mom and the kid is probably a spitting image of the father and I know what excuse that gives to moms like that... Someone needs to check in on this kid and the mom

    I agree with all of this except the last one: the BF should get 4/5. He's upset that she's not taking HIS discomfort into consideration, but he's perfectly fine not taking HER comfort into consideration. And trust me, swimming on blood is a LOT less comfortable than simply being weirded out.

      My first reaction/thought to it was WHY he felt the need to track her. Did he have suspicions of her cheating or something similar already and just wanted proof? If so the relationship was basically over anyways and such an app was not really needed anyways … or was he just stalkerish with no justification?

    The cheating story; the book is far more brutal than you think. If I remember based on the comments, I think it's about the person who cheated but she was punished nonstop and her life was so heavily ruined that she ended herself. Cheating is bad and I think the bad never go OP therapy so instead of ever having to discuss this openly, it fueled OP's resentment. The update I believe, the mom helped OP get therapy and mom got mad at step dad for what he said to OP or how he treated him and Mon and OP are trying to mend things.

    Last story: RUN!! RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK!!! "I didn't say anything to keep the peace" "He 'puts up with you'" Gaslighting you into thinking YOU are the abuser. Honey run run run run run far away. He is abusive and will wear you down (sounds like he's already doing that) to the point where you won't know up from down. He'll cut you off from your friends and family, then he'll start hitting you. And you'll think it's your fault. RUN DO NOT WALK away from that man!!

    7:50 I’m also in the autism spectrum with an eating disorder and that is a MASSIVE NO whenever someone even comes close or in the same room as me as I’m eating I can’t eat anymore which gets extremely annoying when I get something then I’m interrupted and have to get something else over and over and it’s a huge pain so what they did is just bad manners in general but for an autistic person with an eating disorder and to do it on purpose is a massive red flag like multiple time cheater level
    So with that in mind I’d easily bump them up from 2 to 3 or 3.5bhs
