I forgot to say, the rest of the month, I'm perfect.

It takes more than that to freak me out. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> But if I was PMSing...

I once had a male therapist say that he truly believed in PMS. That women really did undergo a change for a brief part of the month. That they really couldn't help it.

Doesn't relieve us of responsibility for our actions but does mean that sometimes we truly 'aren't ourselves' and it is not our fault.

Let's see how men like it when certain sensitive parts of their body hurt so much they just want them to fall off.

McCracken, unluckily I’m also one of those woman who have one bad week per month. It sucks!!! The PMS started in my mid twenties, but since I’m on AD’s the PMS is not so severe than it was before I started taking the medication.

I’m ashamed to admit that during the week of PMS, my H usually suffers a lot and I don’t always treat him very nicely (I try to but often fail <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />). My H says I’m like two completely different people just before and after my menstruation. Usually during that week, my H keeps quite when I’m in a difficult mood and on my turn I have learned to NOT discuss relationship and other issues which bother me with my H because while in PMS, I feel irritated and frustrated with almost anything and then everything seems worse than it is (for me) during that time. During this time I'm usually also a pain to myself! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

And lastly but most importantly – PMS is no excuse to treat one's H (or anyone else) badly.

W kept saying in MC today that "all women get crazy during PMS"... and that I shouldn't take anything she says personally...

IC felt that it was NOT an excuse for being rude and didn't jump on the fact that I withdrew for my own issues in response to a request.. nasty or not...

W said that I should have handled it by reminding her jokingly that it's that time and not to be nasty.

Should I really have to do all that over her getting upset that I kissed her friggin' head as a sign of affection? I mean, what's wrong with this picture..

Man is sitting down watching TV, women sits and snuggles next to him, man then kissed women's head softly, W gets upset and says something nasty and asks him not to get "mushy"... Is that really OK in any circles? Do we really have to analyze that one?

I mean when does the physchology go out the window and it all gets down to people treating each other nicely?

Just venting.. I know the answer to that..

When you've eliminated your own DJs, it'll be time to start worrying about hers.
