TylerC Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Alright, I've been going out with Lauren for almost 4 months. I dated another girl before that for about 7, so I'm no stranger to PMS and "that time of the month." With Katie (ex) I could tell it was that time because she would be semi-condescending to me. Normally, Lauren is fine and I can't even tell other than if she complains about her cramps. Last week was realllllly bad, she was extremely bitchy and moody. She said "sorry I was so bitchy last week, just be honest and tell me if you think I was." I replied, "yeah, you were, but it's all good." She started her period Monday, but took a Midol so she wasn't too bad. Tuesday was alright, I noticed some moodiness but not so much. Today was really bad. She said something about not being able to do anything Sunday, and I said "but you said on Monday we would.." and she got all short with me and said "yeah fine whatever." I asked what was wrong and she said nothing was wrong, she was just annoyed with herself and I could tell she was acting different all day today. I just talked to one of her friends online and she said she was her normal self today around everyone. Advice?
Baby Blu Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Well, I would have to say try and talk it out wiht her and tell her how u feel.Maybe she would understand. I man if my boyfriend came to me and asked to talk to me about something that was bothering him I would talk to him. If he told me that i ws being bitchy I would understand how he ws feeling. Hope it goes well and that everything works out. MUCH LOVE Baby Blu
moimeme Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 and I said "but you said on Monday we would.." and she got all short with me and said "yeah fine whatever Well, expecting someone to follow through on something like that is just silly. People ought not promise this sort of thing days in advance for just this reason. Clearly she thought she'd feel better on Monday when she promised but couldn' t know how she'd be feeling on Monday. Next time she makes such a promise, don't hang your hopes on it. PMS is aggravated by the drop in serotonin that occurs. If it wouldn't look too wierd, get some carbs into her. Take her out for pasta or bring her doughnuts or a cookie or some other sorts of goodies to help boost the carbs and therefore the serotonin. Don't necessarily tell her you're doing it, but if she's especially cranky, develop a craving for something that involves carbs and you may find things change
johan Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 I believe men have license to disregard anything a woman says or does that is "not quite right" during that time of month. And disregarding it is the best approach, because trying to fix it or complain is a waste of time and energy. Just pretend she's acting normally and give her physical and emotional space. She knows how she's acting, you're her best target for venting all her crazy feelings. She's not going to feel very bad about it.
