that time of month

bogie · 01-24-2006, 11:25 AM

I'm sure there have been numerous threads about this, but fuck!!!! My normally sane, laid back, calm, logical wife turns in to a meat grinder during her time of the month. It is so obvious when she's about to start. It only last a few days, but I have to spend a few days with a woman that has a persoality that I would never, ever want to hang out with. She's even combatative with our 7 year old daughter. I want to explain to my daughter that now is not the time to question anything mommy does, but when my daughter asks why, (which 7 year olds do all the time) I wouldn't know what to tell her. So basically, she's on her own. I told her this morning (my daughter) to make sure she stops and thinks about what she's going to say before she says it and to not talk back to mommy. What I really wanted to say is mommy's about to have her period and women turn in to b*tches when they have their period. But I didn't. My wife's nose actually turns a little rosy colored when she's about to start. At that point, I know that the meat grinder is about to arrive.

One of my ex's sometimes turned into a horrible b**ch, but mainly you could fart and she would start crying.

I have read about some researchers that decided that most of the symptoms of menstruation are "made up" or made far worse by our expectations. I don't know how much I believe of that, its hard to take any research at face value any more. And even if that's true it doesn't help you out much, I feel your pain. The wife has her fair share of difficult behavior monthly in my house too.

I just wanted to rant. I only have to deal with it 12 times a year, but those 12 times are not pleasant.

(insert old joke here)

God messed up my wife's cycle...
She's only nice to me one week out of every month.

The term "bitch on wheels" came from this happening.

Hang in there. As a woman, I suffered for years (yes, we don't want to be around ourselves either). Then I talked to my doctor about PMS. They have ways to treat it (yes, it is a medical condition) and I have been a much happier person since then (and much nicer to be around, too).

If I suggested to my wife that there are things she can do medically to alter her mood during her visits from aunt flow, I would not even have a chance to start an "I'm leaving the planet forever thread"

I once made the mistake of telling my wife the old, "Don't trust a creature that bleeds 12 times a year but doesn't die" joke during one of her periods.

She didn't find it amusing at all.

Expect Mer to come on here and tell you it's all your fault.

It is, women are never responsible for the way they treat people during their visit. This is the only thing that gets me going about the whole thing. Women have periods, that causes mood swings. Fine, I'm more than willing to accept that. But the thinking that its our fault for complaining if the symptoms start to wear thin and offering suggestions to ease the difficulty really gets me. Its used as an excuse by some (READ THAT AGAIN, I SAID SOME!) to be complete bitches. The same kind of people who fine excuses for all their bad behavior.

At least you survived, I bet there wasn't a set of knives around when that happened.

No. She grabbed me by the nuts. Not in a loving way, mind you.

My current wife is pretty mild. My ex-wife was so bad the cops were called during her cycle many times. No joke. I'm so glad I left that Jerry Springer episode.

You need a method in which to demonstrate to your wife that she is a problem during her cycle. You should tape her and then when her cycle is over, carefully broach the topic and ask if she's interested in hearing the tape. Once she hears that she'll be willing to consider medication. My wife and I have a catch phrase that she understands immediately. Sometimes she's even the one to invoke the catch phrase - "maybe I (you) need a happy pill".
