BetheButterfly Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Just be glad it's showing up. babynames.com....... My hubby still does not agree on the names I picked out already for our babies. Hmmph! I tell him since I'll be the one carrying them, I should be the 1 who has absolute say on their names. I like babynames.com
Disenchantedly Yours Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Hi all, I was just wondering how do men handle or what do they do when their gfs are on their period and i'm talking about one of those moody ones. I have a gf and she has her periods sometimes twice a month even, so she gets overly sensitive and moody, I'm having a very hard time to be patient and sympathetic even sometimes. It looks like it's a lot of pain, I feel bad that women have to go through it. But is it me, or do women get a pass on what they say and how they behave when they're on their period? does anything go only because her hormones are jumpy and unstable? I'd like to have your input, because i'm really curious how others do it No, she doesn't get a pass to behave poorly towards you just because she has her period. Like the other ladies have said, only immature girls do this. But I think trying to be patient and sympathetic is really cool on your part because sometimes having your period can make you feel in ways you don't normally feel. When your girlfriend is not having her period, talk to her about it. Tell her you understand and sympathize with how she feels during that time but you feel a bit disrespected sometimes. Try to relate it to times when you control your own behavior toward her when your feeling a certain way but know it's not right to act out. For example, you say something like, "You know when I get angry/frustrated (whatever annoys her) over this. I try not to let that change my behavior toward you because I know that is unfair." And be prepared that she might still lapse into letting her hormones get to her but she should be aware of what she is doing and that what she is doing isn't the right way to treat you EVEN when she has her period. If she continues doing the same thing with no effort on her part, it's only going to breed contempt in you and that's not going to be good.
TaraMaiden Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 My H calls my period my "Truth serum" time... because I actually find that during that time, I'm far more frank and honest about my feelings and opinions, than any other time of the month. non-period times I'm tactful, restrained, and try to hold my tongue at times, but period times, keep your head down, because I say it like I mean it - and I do. Come on ladies - anyone else find that period time is "I'll be perfectly frank" time....? 3

Come on ladies - anyone else find that period time is "I'll be perfectly frank" time....? To some extent that holds for me too, though I try to be as truthful as possible all the time. Though I try to hold the negative emotion for a more appropriate moment, because it's really not fair to have a go at someone because of a bad day. Unfortunately, my SO has learned to read me very well and I can't get away with pretending that nothing is wrong or that I'm not burning with the rage of a thousand suns.

While I might be more curt and cranky, it's because of the biochemcial things going on. It's not who I really am the other 3 weeks of the month. Thankg goodness for that.
FitChick Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Go to Whole Foods and buy her ProGest natural progesterone cream to balance her hormones. 1
piggyoink Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Have Super Sex All Month Long | Women's Health Magazine I am so glad to discover so many woman enjoy making love while on their period's. My partner and I have been doing it for years (pun intended)and I have gotten the release from the cramps, headaches, bliating and the moodines that comes with our monthly gift =D. I recomend anyone who is in a serious/loving relationship to partake in this (it takes real love in order to achive the sense of easiness with a partner)I promise you will not regret it and it will make your period shorter and lighter without having to self medicate your body.

TaraMaiden Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 i try to keep that mess private as much as possible. Yes, and thank you so much for sharing that wonderful mental imagery with us.... thankfully menopause will be any time now. I'm hoping the same... I'm 55 and still going strong - so far no tropical moments, or power surges.....
