With nothing but respect for you I have to totally disagree with your statement. From a males perspective I see your situation as a terrible thing, with that said I do not tolerate a flare in your attitude or the use of your monthly cycle to have an excuse for being treated poorly. To use the position of being the mother of your child is no excuse either. thats your position in life so own up to it and deal with it !!!
Yes and no. It's no excuse for extremes, but acting irrational or being moody, as long as she recognizes it later and can own up to it. *shrug*
Regardless of gender or gender based cycles everyone has bad days, mornings, whatever from fluctuations in mood, pain, or the like. Same if I'm being a bastard for some reason, perhaps pig-headed for no other reason than I don't want her to be right in that instance, it happens, I own up to it later, apologize, move on. Preferably with "make up sex".

How bout that? I have those too. I guess everybody does it- it's human nature. Yeah the important thing is to 'fess up to it later, and apologize.
My husband use to swear he was going to build our daughter a menstrual hut like the Indians used to do. It was especially bad when both of us where like raging bulls. As far as nowadays, I told my doctor I would kill him when he tried to take me off my Premarin. Luckily he has a great sense of humor and backed off.
I noticed today that my girl sounded real negative and crazy. So I asked her was this her 'time'. She was kind of surprised that I picked up on it. I asked her to go read her email to me, and yes, she admitted it sounded CRAZY!
fellas- any suggestions on how to deal? How to help your lady? Or do you just avoid it at all costs?
Midol or Pamprin helps. PMS is real. It's as if whatever emotion you are feeling at the time, is magnified, during the cycle, or days leading up to, the cycle. Well, for me anyway. Lay low, recognize, and maintain the thought "this too shall pass" I think having a sensitive attitude towards your lady, will help.

I have apologized so many times, to so many people for my temper tantrums during my "sensitive " time, that I might as well wear a shirt that says "I'm Sorry" on it.
I guess I must be abnormal because I've never had a huge problem with PMS. I do have some relatively bad pain in my lower back/stomach, but it doesn't turn me into a raging bee-with-an-itch. I mean if I had severe pain for a prolonged period of time, then I'd probably get moody, but it only lasts around 3 days. Periods, for me anyways, are just an annoyance more than anything. Judging from this thread, I guess it greatly varies from woman to woman.

I know it's a bit insensitive, but I actually thought it was funny most times after the physical pain was gone.
Just out of the blue go off on me about how the soap wasn't properly seated in a dish, or burst into tears and want to be held for no other reason than she couldn't find her nail clippers.
I actually thought of it with the the only woman I actually lived with, as kind of a bonus, the entertainment factor was great and I got a lot of extra affection, attention and sex.
But perhaps the situation was more unique than I thought.
