Boyfriend refuses to buy me pads

My boyfriend of a year is 19 and I asked him if he could buy me pads as I had left my purse at home and we were at uni. He seemed shocked that I asked him and straight out said 'no! You buy your own. It's not normal for guys to buy those' which I was really surprised to hear. He's generally really sweet and caring towards me and hearing him say that made me really upset. I had to make do with toilet roll for the rest of the day. My friend's boyfriend seems to be ok with getting pads for her and says its like buying her anything else that she would need, so it's not exactly unusual. My dad and brother are fine with buying pads for me whenever they do the family shop. I never thought he would be the type of person to say something like that.

Am I right to be upset about this, or am I really asking for too much?

You may just be overthinking here.
It's not whatever us girls think something a man would buy everyday.
It could just be embarrassment, I would not read to much into it.
When I was in a relationship it was something I always bought.

I get that but this was an emergency where I ended up having to make do with toilet roll and was constantly worrying about it leaking when he could've helped me out a bit by buying pads

Why are u making this his problem? You are a grown woman, it is your responsibility to ensure you have adequate protection - begging your boyfriend to do it just isn't on. Maybe he is embarrassed yes, but at the end of the day it shouldn't be his responsibility to buy it for you.

Why didn't you just ask him for the money to buy them yourself?

He didn't want to do it because he'd find it embarassing. It doesn't mean he doesn't care about you.

While she's bleeding through her clothing?

She left her purse at home and your attitude is ridiculous. He could have given her the money if he wanted to be a man-child.

If she managed to get through the rest of the day using toilet roll she could have managed to get to a shop.

Yeah sure she did. Why should he spend his money on something that embarrases him when it is clearly her responsibility to make sure she has some? Are u expecting me to believe she couldn't have come back later or made sure she had some before.

He could have lent her the money and I really don’t see the big issue. It isn’t his responsibility, but it would have been the caring thing to do. You only do things if you’re obligated? Relationships don’t work like that.
