Not sure he even realises and if he does then he doesn't care!

Same as the rest of the time... Maybe slightly more patient as I do grumble a lot and insist on chocolate after each meal!

As always- unless I lay it on a bit to have neurofen, tea and biscuits brought to me Grin]

Less affectionate because he knows I prefer not to have sex when I have my period. But also relieved because I am over my pmt week when I can be a bit of a cow.

No differently to when I don't have it. The week before my period however he is the most aggravating man on the planet and can do nothing right....

I don't think he even notices, unless he tries to have sex and I say no

Sympathetic, caring. He's not as likely to try to undo my bra when we hug....

Actually, why would he know? Do people tell their partners? If so, why?

Relieved mostly, as we are definitely not wanting another child.

Normally. I have fairly inoffensive periods (minimal pain, no raging PMT) so the only indicator I'm having one is that I tell him we can't have sex.

The same as normal.

my periods are pretty awful so he makes sure ive got a hotwater bottle and painkillers but other than that he is just the same as he normally is.

Well, I would struggle to hide it sooperdooper! As I have awful periods and being sick with pain or lying on the bathroom floor in pain is not unusual for me. Plus all the towels I have to sleep on in case of leaks :(
But he is his usual self, brings chocolate and hot water bottles when asked or walks miles to late night chemists to pick up pain killer prescriptions for me.

Pissed off as sad as it means we are not pregnant ..... AGAIN. I have to say he knows far more about my downstairs that he ever wanted to know but he deals with it beautifully.

Makes me a hot water bottle and fetches a box of chocolates from tesco.

I think he used to think I was a bit of a drama queen and making a fuss about something normal and 'everyday'. Over the years, though, he has seen how it affects me (bad PMS) and is extra nice, caring and patient to me now when I tell him its coming. I often get chocolate and tea in bed Grin

Acts just as normal but knows there isn't any chance of sex.

MollySolverson · 06/08/2014 09:34

Banishes me to a special tent and ensures I don't touch the family food or water in case I curse/poison it. Doesn't everyone's dp do this?

Report
MollySolverson · 06/08/2014 09:35

Um, no, he acts the same as when I'm not on, weirdly. Except for certain adjustments to sex. Why do you ask OP?
