You avoid them or just say "yes honey" if you are the type to avoid confrontation or annoyances. If they are rude and whiny for no reason....talk trash back. My husband just talks trash right back at me and for a minute I'm mad and then I just laugh and realize that if I can dish it out...I should be able to take it in return. That is probably what has made us able to get through 15 yrs of periods together. He doesn't tip toe on eggshells around me and I respect it :-). He doesn't bow to the red rage and I actually laugh when he talks trash back because I know how irrational some of my red rage is. I logically know that I can be irrational during this piece of crap curse that makes me feel like I got stabbed in the gut and I have internal damage. This insight has helped me deal with my response to things and have a sense of humor about it. You deal with it in the best way you can within your relationship dynamics. That's all I can think of from my personal perspective. Good luck to all you fellas that feel lost and alone and irritated during this time. I *know* how annoying it can be and I actually feel bad you have to deal with it :-).
Just smile and nod.
Pick a girl who can handle herself and knows how to apologize when her outbursts go too far if you are sensitive to this kind of thing.
Seriously, though, don't try to blame her cycle for her actions. In this and your other posts, she just sounds like a typical immature 19-year-old girl to me.
maybe ,but we grow and we learn, im still a kid myself im only 21 which is why i come to you adults for assistance with life I trust you strangers and random commenters (advice wise ) , but I wanted to test and see what kinds of reactions would unfold ,and I am pleased.
and Testosterone issues only happen when provoked , plus idk we dont really think about it like that if a friend said he could break a glass table with his face ill say go for it and although it is stupid Its kinda fun breaking stuff dont know why but I like it. ( lol im not like you guys some of you probably own fast cars and are living the dream)
You have to imagine how unpleasant it is to certain women. Your gut hurts terribly, you're hungry, bloated, and have gooey blood flowing uncontrollably out from between your legs. That's not including any hormone related mood changes.
We didn't ask for it. No one likes it.
Best thing you can do is to maintain your steady course, don't ask questions, and do whatever she asks you to do, including going to the store at midnight to buy tampons and pain reliever.
Men rarely blame our behavior on testosterone while some women do use PMS as an excuse.
I always remind my wife that PMS (as real as it is) is no excuse for getting snippy and that she should take ownership of her behavior. Its no different for any other time that I or my wife are in a bad mood for whatever reason. Its no excuse to take it out on the other person.
I sometimes get in a mood after a tough day at work. So I tell her to give me time and go out for a walk to decompress.
As long as your SO has to work on your behalf for your ill-behaviors, its not a good thing...
Being in a mood due to a tough day work is not even close to PMS. Granted it has been a good while and while I was on hormonal BC I rarely suffered PMS, but I still remember.
A bad day is stress and aggravation caused by external forces, PMS is hormonal changes within the body, fluctuating progesterone and estrogen levels which can change susceptibility to anxiety, depression an studies suggest seizures. On top of that it sometimes causes severe pain, migraines, diarrhea, bloating and cravings not to mention slothing off of uterine blood.
I think when people stop blaming every bad day, bit of frustration, assertiveness, sadness, and disagreement a woman has with "oh it must be her time of the month" women can stop using the actual "time of the month" as an excuse for being snippy.

There ya go. Again remembering, sex was a great cure for PMS! At least for a little while, so do it a lot.
If she's on her period, chances are she's physically not feeling her best. Try just being nice to her till it passes.
