Eww...but there is a difference between smelling from poor hygiene(I have smelled woman like that) and what emits from your skin. My husband can only smell me when we are spooning. His nose is in my hair and neck. It's not like he can smell me across the room
Lol... while reading this I was inspired to ask my husband straight out to wash the dishes.

Hey can you please wash the dishes today?
His response .... " Ya Right! Don't dream. What do you thibk this is?"

I think he might be broken lol. I even volunteered to show him to explain what to do. He is hidding upstairs now lol.

Not about men being dumb, but rather being that observant.
I don't track my own cycle so the fact that he seems to know surprised me.

^^^ This. Me. I don't have any symptoms or moods, and I agree - irritability and "moods" could be caused by other reasons, and some of them if not most could be eliminated.
I think, I would be annoyed knowing my SO is secretly tracking it. What for?

Yeah, this one. Never been with a guy who wasn't aware. Also, how could you live with a guy and he not know?

No sex for a week (some don't care), maybe PMS, full bathroom waste can, kinda obvious when naked, complaints about bloating, cramps, "give me chocolate or die", etc.

I'm sure my husband is able to crack the code when he sees tampon wrappers in the bathroom wastebasket.

I always thought the 28 days was an old wives' tale thing. Mine was never that regular, and the cycle never that short. It was somewhere around 32 or 35 days and sometimes would go longer, so only when I was feeling very tired at around 45 days did I suspect that I might be pregnant.

Then my own sister mentioned that she knew immediately that she was pregnant because her cycle was 28 days all the time from the time she started menstruating. I was shocked.

I am always running around doing stuff out side the house. So when I am actually home it is because I am drained. It us literally like some one unplugged me. I get the 7 days heavy bleeding horror movie gore situation ... no 5 day light bleed situation. Once it starts it is hard to miss.... but knowing the advance signs it was going to start surprised me.

I am responsible for the kitchen; dishes and cooking. I'm a better cook. I don't mind helping with things that are not normally my responsibility.

Even in separation, I still take on the same choirs in the house. I am at the house cooking on Sundays for the entire family's lunches for the next week. Heck, I cook extra and provide some to my friends who either don't have the resources or time to cook.

Seems to me that if you married someone who isn't willing to help out their spouse or take a share of the responsibilities, there is an opportunity to work something out. I never seem to understand why someone would have a low opinion of men and still marry that type of man. If you want a man that doesn't mind doing laundry, kitchen duty, and other housemech type stuff, it should have been vetted out during dating.
