I am currently barricaded into my study as yet again the monthly blood letting cycle envelopes my wife and she turns into a harridan of hatred and chocolate devouring tornado.
I have to hide for 3 days as she tears the house apart looking for me to blame for the postman being 5 seconds late. i get the blame because it rained today.
i get the blame for Canada having 3 a's.
please help me. i would run away for 3 days every month but i am afraid she will eat the kids.
last month she ate the next door neighbour for saying hello.
any suggestions to appease her?
i think the door will give way within the next minute or two.

Oh, behave yourself, please. You will probably never in your life experience anything as annoying and painful as what she is going through. I hope you don't. But you can help her a lot. I cannot help you, but maybe I can help her. There is a nutrient that you folks up in the Isles have called Oil of Evening Primrose and although it is a bit pricey, if taken every day, after a few months it will vastly reduce the crazies and help a lady's complexion at the same time. Most people want a quick fix, but a round of ammo is NOT the answer. Neither are pain pills that just suppress the symptoms. Nutrition is the factor, and these things take time.
Think of it this way. At "that time" women act like men do every day of their lives. The only difference is that we let you off easy the rest of the month. "At that time" we are not doormats, because there is too much pain to CARE. Get used to it, or feed her the nutrients. They really help. Just ask my hubby.

Such an entertaining discussions. My two bobs worth: This is a damned if I do damned if I don't situation and not one scholar has come to the rescue with success of note to cure all, as all women are not the same.
In some cultures back in ancient times there was such a thing as secret women's business. While men go to their caves, or waterholes, or wherever they tend to go and do secret men's business, women used to gather together while going through their menstrual cycle. I was discussing this with my friend the other day - I am on holidays with her and our period went into sync - she made mine come early. Anyway that's a piece of info you may or may not like to hear. So during secret women's business while going through their menstrual cycle, we were imagining what they would say while huddled together for a 3 or 4 day slumber party. Complaining probably. About their husbands most likely.
So maybe you could get the women in the neighborhood to get together and smash crockery, and you guys go to the pub (for 3 days).

I am afraid that no amount of barricading will work in this situation honey! My advice would be to buy every piece of chocolate you can find, apologise profusely for everything in the world that upsets her and grovel for forgiveness for every sin every man ever born has commited and you may escape relatively alive! lol

LMAO. Wow! You sure are the cause of a lot of things shame on you. I hope that you are able to get through this okay. Throw a big bag of chocolate her way and that'll preoccupy her for a few minutes at least. Keep giving her chocolate. When I get my monthly cycle I don't really get mean. It doesn't really affect me at all. The only thing is that I get a lot of pain. But everyone is different. Good luck.

Let her see a doctor for mood disorder during her menses, medication and theraphy can help to calm her, mood disorders can be destructive if left untreated.... the depressions can complicate relationships, especially with close family and friends.
give her some emotional support instead of hiding ..lol ..... that will help ...

Well, being a woman I know unfortunately, sometimes we are not the easiest people to get along with. For me, now that I am going thru the change, it has gotten a little better, but actually it is up to me to control this, and get help where needed. What I would suggest for you, is try and find a way to talk to your wife and let her know how much this bothers you, and see if there is something that can be done to help control this some. Because this is not Good to be like this, and actually there are things out there to help with this.
All I can say, is Good Luck. Help find her things to help lessen these mood swings before they hit each month, and she will Thank You for it in the end. No, you cannot run and hide, but if you try, you might help her find better ways to cope with this.

i can understand what you are saying as i am also a woman... but i think i am not behaving as bad as your wife to my hubby when i have my periods... yes, my mood swings and i get irritated quite easily because of the hormone changes during those times and also the pain that i have to experience... but my hubby is very understanding during those times and he really helps me to make me feel better... he hugs and kisses me more often... that makes me really feel much better... may be you can try to show your affections more to your wife more during those times and see what happen... good luck and have a nice day...

i love your expressive words. i know it can be hard to deal with but as a woman i have to say that you just do not know what it is like to feel the way some of us do at this time of the month. wtih that said however, i do think she needs to find a way to deal with it in a more constructive way and perhaps she needs to be told that she has to try to control her outbursts at this time as it is causing alot of turmoil in your home monthly. do not tell her during this time of month but wait until she is a bit more rational and does not have out of control hormones. i used to get that way but i took responsibility for the way i acted and made sure i took better control of my emotions during that time. good luck to you. uh, oh, i think i hear her at the door. you better run!! just kidding.

Okay Okay now listen up you guys, We constantly are accused of pmsing even when we aren't lol I had a male doctor tell me one time he so respects women because of the monthly things we must go through and we are actually superior to men lol I looked at the doctor and said oh my what do you mean he then proceeded to say.....
Women could actually bleedout for 7 days and survive lets see a man do that lol
A man with a sense of humor ya gotta love it!

Well if it makes you feel any better, one day the blood will stop flowing and she will cry all the time and get hot flashes.
So you are the reason we have world hunger...

Oh poor you. At least I just explode and then run and hide. Hope you have your anti-demon spray handy, and lots of it too.
Realistically, there is nothing you can do except agree with everything she says or does and keep your bum out of harms way.

aw poor boxboy you are another victim of pms. been there and done that just keep feeding her chocolate and she might
snap out of it soon. just stock up on chocolate and
lace on your running shoes in case she breaks down
the door. You might bake her a chocolate cake too while
you are at it. maybe she will gain so much weight she
cannot run after youlol just count yur lucky stars it
only happens once a month. also stock up on midol it really used to help me.

You are crazy... Oh, wait, you would have me to believe that your wife is the crazy one. C'mon ... it can't really be that bad ... is it? I sympathize with your wife, even though you make her sound like she needs to be medicated. If so, get her to a doctor, once she returns to her normal self, that is. Other than that, I would just give her space during these times .. that means give a break from the kids, also. You and the kids give her some room to deal with herself. I'm sure this would help her to calm her emotions a great deal.
