How to treat her when she's in her "Period"

What you could do is keep track of her periods on a calendar. unless she has an IUD, she should get her period every 28 day, so this way you'll know when it's coming.
I get my PMS (mood swings) the week before my actual period, so the day I actually get my period, the mood swings have pretty much gone.

hmm..the last time she had her period (she told me about it) was last Thursday. It was the 13th. So next time is like in May 10th

Every woman is different, and more to the point, every period is different. There's no one way to deal with it, just roll with the punches...sometimes literally!

Episode #95 (Bad Moon Rising) of "Everybody Loves Raymond" covers this subject quite nicely. Debra has P.M.S. but thinks she doesn't. Ray tries to "help" but makes everything worse. Great lines from all the characters ... I think it was voted the series' best episode.

Oh yeah Whooda, sometimes it's only after the fact that I think "Wow, I was a tad bit touchy the last 2 days, wasn't I?"

Oh, even though every woman is different, I think we can all agree that we don't want a man coming up to us and and say "Jeez, what are you having your period or something?"

refer back to Tiger Picture for response.

Yeah. the "You must be PMSing" comments are a huge no no! This is very very very important!

From "Bad Moon Rising" -

Debra: Listen, if I had PMS -- and I'm not saying that I have it -- is that how you help me? By taping me? By telling me I have PMS? That doesn't help. That doesn't help me, Ray!

Ray: Well, what do you want me to do? Show me what to do. Just draw it out for me.

Debra: Have you ever thought about giving me a hug?

Ray: A hug?!

Debra: Yeah, a hug. Did you ever think of hugging me, you jerk?!

Ray: Well, this is not huggable. This is not Debra! This is the woman who shows up once a month to rip into me like a monkey on a cupcake.

I can just hear Debra's shrill voice - IS THIS HOW YOUR HELP ME!?

yeah, it's like telling someone to hug a preying mantis. Do it quick and back off quick before your head gets bit off.

A hug!!!!!!!!!!!

That's it. That's the key. BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!

(so when she's having PMS, she WILL be in the MOOD for a hug huh? she wouldn't be like "don't touch me! leave me alone! I need some space!"?)

It all depends on how she is. We are truly all different when it comes to this, so it's hard to give advice on this particular subject.

A hug sounds like something that would work for me (as long as he wasn't just looking for sex), but some woman don't want the hug, so it can go either way.

You could always talk with her about it sometime when she is NOT on her period, and ask her how she feels during that time.

Hug?!! If she is anything like me she would want you away from her. I don't like being touched or like being pampered even. I just want to be left alone with greasy chinese food. Oh and I also like to read crappy love stories. I like to sleep on sofa in front of the TV. I hate to sleep on bed during this time. Weird huh?

I don't suffer from mood swings but the feeling is so uncomfortable. I can bear the biggest of discomforts but not the slightest of menstrual discomfort. But that's just me.

With many of my friends and cousins you can hardly tell they are having periods. They look and behave quite normal.

But many I came across just wants to be left alone. no fussing.. no pampering.. no nothing. Just yes honey.. and sure honey..

Next time the minister asks if anyone knows a reason the couple shouldn't wed, I think I'm gonna speak up. Have always felt sorry for the grinning fool ... unsuspecting ... with one thing on his mind. No one tells him about the monkey-on-a-cupcake. Next time ...

Argue with her and scream in her face and say, "See there, that is what you are like!"

I can tell you what NOT to do, from experience. When a woman is on her period, no matter how long it lasts, never, unless she is totally ok with it, expect her to uh... pleasure you in THAT way...like it is her duty to do it when she is "un-operatable". I don't know about any one else but my husband seems to think it's my job as a wife to please him if we can't have sex.

Your husband is a selfish boor. Sex is nobody's "job." It should happen only when both people want it, or somebody is going to get sick of it really fast.

Hasn't he ever heard of masturbation? Yes, married people do it. Better to take care of your needs yourself than to be frustrated or (worse yet) make your partner perform when they don't feel like it.

Hmmm....what to say to a woman when she's having her period....

"Here's some chocolate, darlin'. Where would you like to go for dinner tonight?"

im sorry, but this thread made me laugh out loud.

just treat her normally, its not a bloody illness.
if she does get a bit stressy before hand then just make sure you dont do anything to especaiily **** her off.

and signs? if you are in a relationship thats stable then she would prbably tell you if she was on her period.
