Every single time I get upset~ no matter what it seems to be about~
My boyfriend will ask me if it's my time of the month~ or sit there and tell me that I must be PMSing/on my period.
Not only is he completely wrong 80% of the time a/b when my period is~ but it's like he doesn't care a/b w/e it is I'm upset about~ and me having a period is his excuse for not caring.
Does your man say this about you?
How would you feel if this was said to you and what would you do about it?
And why on earth would a man say that to a woman (especially one that is upset about something!?!?)?

Maybe he is searching for a logical explanation for your being upset.
Women, being the emotional creatures that they are, tend to get upset over little to nothing at all, and it is often a struggle to understand the cause of the upset.
When he asks things like what you have described, it is merely an innocent attempt at trying to understand you.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it....:)

if he would show one little sign that he cared I'd agree with you.
but saying that and completely ignoring me b/c of what he assumes is, in my opinion, very cold hearted.

Can't say that my fiancé has ever asked me if it was my time of the month because I have been upset about something, he has asked but under totally different circumstances and is usually correct, usually just before my period starts.
I think some men would be more inclined to think/ask if their partner is at that time of the month as most men are not as emotional as women can be and have a hard time understanding why women get upset over certain things that to them don't seem that important.

My husband does the same thing. Now I am pregnant and everything is blamed on that! I think men are naturally very simplistic in their thinking. They see something and assume that this is the problem. My husband, for example, cannot understand why I burst into tears and get angry because he left his shirt (which I just washed by hand and ironed) on the floor.
It isn´t the one incident that makes me so upset, it is the repeated failure to respect my work around the house, a bad day with my son, plus I didn´t sleep well and I´m in pain! But all he sees is that one shirt is on the floor and I am flipping out!
Men cannot see the bigger picture, so they try to reduce everything down to the manner in which they think, which is very hard for us to understand!
