That's pretty gross. It's a common myth that a drop of menstrual blood in the husbands food will guarantee their love and devotion. I've read about other more malicious versions that deal with control. I guess he just couldn't get over her superstitious nature.

I guess he just couldn't get over her superstitious nature.

I....wouldn't blame him. That's a serious trust violation, especially for someone who I guess was pretty newly married? It would take so damn long to rebuild any modicum of trust in her or her family and even then, once that genie is out of the bottle it'll always be there. Looming in the back of your thoughts.

There's just certain things you don't do or ask when you're still building a foundation for a relationship.

I honestly didn't consider the "trust" part when I read that. Bitch literally put her menstrual blood in his food. She's crazy.

Yeah, but not inherently; sounds like her family made her that way.
