Compromise

Me: Can I pack a few things in your bag?

The Boyfriend!: Depends what...

Me: Mostly things we're sharing. A towel, bar of soap, shampoo...

The Boyfriend!: Sure.

Me: ...make up, curling iron and tampons.

The Boyfriend!: Um, no. I draw the line at tampons.

Me: What? Why?

The Boyfriend!: What will the men at the security checkpoint think!?

Me: Clearly, they'll think you're a homosexual.(sarcasm)

The Boyfriend!: They WILL think I'm gay, won't they?

Me: (sigh) No...they will think you're traveling with a woman. Which you are. So you should probably get used to traveling with tampons.

The Boyfriend!: Fine. But then you're finding space in your own bag for make up and hair stuff.

Me: Deal.
