Apologize.
Apologize.
Apologize.

And if that doesn't work?

Retreat to a corner and throw chocolate at her until she stops.

Nup, while I agree with a lot of your posts, apologies tend to lead to weakness and of course the cycle continues.

Love ya DB

kind regards,

Yeah, nah, yeah, nah.

Do you ever tell your partner to recognise the symptoms and perhaps put the ball in her court and say "hey, you're an adult" "I don't have to run away to the pub."

This myth that persons have the right to crap on their partners because of the once a month syndrome is what I say, " a myth".

If I get cranky because I have cancer, I'm told, "Deal with it." So I adjust regardless of any pain. It's time the partners get over their petty cycles that have been a part of life for eons.

Stop running away. Tell the partner to recognise the emotions and take control of their life.

kind regards,

bally

Stop adapting. Get them to adjust. If they can't then they are not in control of their mindset.

To me it's kinda like an abuse of power. If I get stabbed while my partner is going through these issues then "it's my fault" because, "I was there and shouldv'e" [SHUT UP].

kind regards,

Wow, finally a lady who recognises the symptoms and can control it. Good on you Nyiah. Your partner is a lucky person.

Must've hit a quiet period.

Please tell me that was a deliberate play on words . lol . At this stage i could mention the crows V the saints this year but i might just go into footy hibernation .

I knew this thread was going to be greatness when read the OP.

I myself, tend to work late. come home do yard work, eat dinner, shower and hit the sack.

Since there's no reasoning with women in their periods, I just feed her and stay out of sight. Works well for me.

Agree. Just agree with her. "Yes love."

Mine's up the duff so she's been like it everyday for a month now.

a reply to: Trueman

yes dear, of course dear, (did you just call me a deer!? SMACK)

Yep,... once a month we men need to face it, our love and patient are tested. Adding salt on your food at the table could be dangerous. I love my wife and I try to make those days easier for both of us. Cook some fine Italian speciality or help a bit more with her chores seems to work in my case.

So ATS brothers I ask you how do you deal with it?

C'mon man! My husband regularly comes home in a #ty mood. How is that any different? We deal with your crap EVERY DAY, yet you choose to label us as the problem because some women are bitchy? If I come across as a bitch, it's often because of threads like this.

True, and at least there is a pill for dealing with women's monthly PMS, we ladies have to deal with Proverbial Men's S**t solo.

Going deaf (selective hearing) has really helped me.

Alcohol. Lots of it. Although I don't generally mind their 'grouchy' moods as they are quite easy to help 'get over it', usually.

My husband also has continual Parked Motorcycle Syndrome and it is frightful to witness and deal with.

Men get grouchy for legitimate reasons.

Like if we were mauled by a bear when we were bring home food for the family, or if we're trying to take over a country or build a bridge.

Ha! So, I was correct in thinking that most reasons are not legitimate!

They're still easy (most).

Or if we get a splinter.

Because those really hurt!

a reply to: DBCowboy
I'm a carpenter and I cry when I get a splinter. What lily livered excuses for men. There's only one answer, get them pregnant and hey presto no periods for 9 months. That of course opens a few more cans of worms like craving for exotic foods at 4 in the morning, pre natal problems, anti natal problems. Oh crap, just forget I posted and go down the pub.
