Tell him he's lucky if it is consistent every month.

With my partner it is unpredictable. She can go for two or three months with no real problems and barely notice but then a bad month comes along. One time (several years ago now) she was glaring at me and would not say why, just that I had annoyed her. A few days later she admitted that she was annoyed because I was sitting there breathing. Breathing! I'm just glad she doesn't have violent impulses.

Try some of the herbal remedies and you may find one that works. If it seems to be diet related try a zinc supplement for the few days beforehand as that can help the uptake of vitamins and minerals from food. You could stick a note on the fridge door saying "Yes, it is" so he knows better than to ask :

these would be better choices:

the dong qui works, i used for years and i think
worked pretty well. at least i never killed anyone

Even if the woman has a very valid reason for acting like a psycho its very difficult for the man to understand, He just has to put up with it and she has to accept he might not always huts smile and say thats ok dear I don't mind that you have just wished me dead for the 5th time today

Pregnancy is PMS multiplied. When my wife was pregnant during the summer, I kept the thermastat set at 60 and lowered my golf handicap, due to extensive playing.

What would be good is if women could wear a flashing neon warning sign at first onset of symptoms so we could take evasive actions.

My does not have such severe PMS but every once in a while........ whew. Of course, the conflicts were not eased by my own (minor) tendency to have rage control problems (god knows what would've happend if I was a steroid user like so many other weightlifters).

I'm started to see symptoms late last year. (my wife still forcefully denies it ) My golf index dropped under 10 for the first time in decades. If this is that MAGIC year for her, I'll be down to a 4 before the summer is over.

You know, somethings cant be explained to guys or understood by guys. Samething with girls. A girl will never understand the pain that a guy feels when he gets hit in the balls.

Somethings are just ment to be unexplained.

I just can't understand why natural selection would allow the hormones to work that way. It makes no sense.

Therefore I don't believe in PMS .

I believe the symptoms. I just don't beleive hormones cause that.

Why would hormones have such a negative effect on women, when our (men's) hormones have such a positive effect? Why would evolution work in such a screwed up way? Do chimpanzees have PMS?

Let's put it in focus. Woman gets hormonal imbalance. They get depressed and weepy, but are usually still capable of looking after a child. That's evolution.

Man gets hormonal imbalance (it happens- I've had it). He gets all pushy and "Me chief!". If it works, make him chief and give him twenty wives. If it doesn't, he's sharkbait. That's evolution.

Well!! Go to bed and leave you guys to it

**runs and hugs torchtoy** I'll Pm you the details no need to do it here.

To answer someone above who said we should have neon signs as a warning.......see my earlier post. I always and I mean always (and self can confirm this) warn the person the week before and keep repeating it every day so that when the exorcist woman makes her apperance, and she always does, then fore warned is fore armed I say.

I know how bad I get and it isn't fair to the person I'm with not to warn them. Steve's problem is he can't understand why I can't control the things that fly out of my mouth occasionally while PMSing. It just happens. I hear myself saying it and thinking what the fu** am I saying and why and STOP!! But out it comes. And then I spend the next hour crying. It sucks.

The only thing I know is chocolate and lots of it!

You should all be confined to huts in a remote area when this occurs.
Primitive tribes had this down long before now, but we've gone and screwed it up with all this cohabitation nonsense.
In fact, I think men and women should live apart all the time, except for purposes of procreation.
That goes for children, too.

I can go there with Bunny. If I miss calculate by a few days and forget to warn him then we usually wind up having conversations like........why are you being such a bit**? The next day or two I figure it out.

There is a surprising amount of "chemical" communications between a bonded couple, about fertility, desire levels, moods. Its very powerful. I'm not surprised Chegitz knows. Its very freaky.

I'm surprised how tuned in I am to Mrs Horse and I'm no sensitive new age guy. Mrs Horse is a veritable volcanoe of chemical signals for me. The trouble comes when you're out of sync.

I think one reason she dislikes my smoking is she can't read my scent the way I can read hers. Muwahahaha!!!

Oh yeah - and men have periods too!

...but Because YES THEY DO!! And funny you should mention that because Steve was having one yesterday. He woke up fired up, took it to work and brought it home with him. You say something and he jumped. I told him at one point "you feeling froggy"

But that would support your statement above about being in tune and chemicaly bonded. It's the same principle as having several women in one house. When all three of my girls came to womanhood we all wound up within a week of each other. One would start and so on.

I swear I used to be able to detect a girlfriend coming around the corner, before I could even see or hear her. And this was when I wasn't even expecting to see her.

I never argued with someone that much but there was some kind of overwhelming chemical mix going on there.

FREAKY
