Hi there fellow MyLotters! I just want to know if being hormonal is normal, like when you are approaching your period and then something happened no matter how insignificant that thing is you till want to put up a fight. There was a time my boyfriend haven't sent me a text message for like an hour, and i went crazy and texted him and said he doesn't care for me anymore.HAHA! That was insane! Good thing my boyfriend is an understanding guy, he was never the one to feed my anger. Ever experienced something like this? Is this normal for us women? Do you think this can ruin a relationship?

I think it all has to do with what's going on with our bodies and brain and what we put into our bodies. For instance maybe ya haven't had your share of fruits and veggies for the day and that can affect how you communicate with your man. I'd say take a step back and think before you speak. Think about the outcome and how it could affect him and his feelings. It's not that he doesn't care for you he may have just been kinda busy for instance maybe in the bathroom or maybe a family member came over and he got side tracked. Don't just automatically assume he doesn't care. And ya don't want to come off as being to needy or not understanding. This makes guys run! I have felt this way plenty of times. When you start feeling like this throw on your favorite song, or go get some ice cream. Or call up a girlfriend and ask her out for a drink or coffee or tea. This way if your busy then you won't spend that hour thinking about what he's doing.

women are more emotional, more sentimental compared to man, it is due to hormones, women approaching menopause have mood swings lol.

nature allows things to happen or to be for a reason. a woman's hormonal moods or changes are there to jolt a certain kind of life in a relationship that almost all relationships would end up to: boredom. notice how some make ups are sweeter every reconciliation? of course a woman using hormones as an excuse each and every time a fight occurs is headed for a doomed relationship. women should learn to adjust.

Yes, it happens to me all the time right before my period comes around. It drives the people around me crazy! I blow up at the slightest provocation. I would imagine all kinds of scenario with just one word from someone else. It was bad when I was younger. As you grow older you will mellow but not before driving all your loved ones crazy first.

Well, it can't really be helped, a bit like men who can't control themselves when they see a very attractive female!

i think it can affect a relation ship.. every little thing can go positive or negative in relationship.. but i dont think it can break a relationship.. it just affects.. but when a negative thing in a relationship gets solved.. then that relation always gets stronger..
