Can I ever relate to this. Its something that men REALLY will never understand and should. My Man Friend still to this day has no clue what may be going on with me with things like this are happening to me.
I think alot is how they were brought up and like most men, are clueless! They most of the time only think about themselves and either walk away or turn a deaf ear! Then tell their girlfriend/wife they must make a change of their ways or they (the man) are out of here and find some lame excuse to meet someone new!
Its easier to stay single!

quit your belly-aching, marriage is supposed to be hard, anything worth while always is. you gotta remember we men tolerate the fact that women are emotionally motivated beings, their thought usually go straight from the heart to the mouth and the brain never gets a chance to enter into it, try dealing with that 24/7.

PMS means Punish My Spouse.

Seriously - at my house (where there are 3 women) you can set your watch by the 28 day cycle. It's important to be aware of the things that go on within your surroundings. In a household with more than one female, the twenty eight day cycle of all of them will eventually syncronize with that of the "Alpha Female". The "Syndrome" for each female may not be as severe each month so, in my case, it's better to be aware of any mood changes in any of them as an indicator that the others may soon be in a "delicate emotional state". That way, I can give them space as necessary.

During these times it's more important than ever to pick up after yourself and never, ever, ever use the three letters P, M, S, right after one another.

These are suvival skills.

It also helps to understand that women (in most cases) don't choose to be angry during this part of the "cycle".

Women suufer thru PMS, childbirth, and menopause. It's only fair that they should have to suffer putting up with WOMEN when the women are suffering from the other stuff. Oh, not to mention women falling into the toilet in the middle of the night when we are trying to be considerate and not turn on the light, but SOMEONE has been inconsiderate and left the toilet seat up!
