to hate my husband when I'm on my period?

periodhellllllllll · 24/10/2024 19:55

Obviously I'm not being reasonable but does anyone else experience this?

I get so angry when I'm on / due on. Everything H does winds me up, I honestly come close to asking for divorce every time and then when it's over we are fine again.

I feel you OP. In the week leading up to my period, I ruminate over all OH’s tiny annoyances and decide I’m going to leave him. I exercise hard and snarl a lot. My colleagues are all total fuckwits. Once I actually realise why I’m feeling so angry, I WFH until my period starts. I thought it was bog standard PMT, hadn’t heard of PPMD

Yes, I’m horrible. Feel really angry with everyone. It’s so hard to deal with and for my partner too , I have to plan events to try avoid the days before I’m due. Also I get very tired and sleep / eat loads

Yes. I wish I could just be on an island at those times. If I can I avoid all human interaction. Sadly that’s hard to do.

I feel much more ‘divorcy’ just before my period. I could quite happily pack a bag and just drive. Anywhere.

I can see the funny side but also it’s not easy. I have to make a note of how I feel when I’m in a more settled phase to check out whether to listen to how I feel or not.

Turns out I still feel divorcy, just less acutely.

A hormonal coil has helped me enormously.

I thought it was a well known thing that the type of man a woman finds attractive varies with where she is in her cycle?

When she isn't ovulating, a chiseled jaw, and broad shoulders are appealing, however when ovulating, an axe in the forehead and a baseball bat shoved up his arse will do.

😂 If I’d been drinking tea I’d have spluttered it out.

It was supposed to be a joke, but I guess humour isn't allowed these days.

I have PMDD and it is ruining my life. And yes, I am feeling hormonal right now. Glad it's funny to you though

The original post is not about PMDD, the poster who made the joke was not joking about PMDD. They made a joke comment which some did find funny because it’s very obvious it was a joke and she would not shove a baseball bat up her DHs arse! I can tell as you say you are very hormonal right now by your response to all the posters on here.

pizzaHeart · 24/10/2024 21:21

It’s a known established fact in our house. I’m very irritated and emotional the evening before, can’t say that I hate my DH but I’m in a very quarrelling mood and tend to cry. Add the full moon to the mix and it’s a hell house.
Im back to nice me the minute the period started.

Foy19 · 24/10/2024 21:12

Yes, most months. Likely PMDD.

Also - check your blood pressure. Mine was high anyway but got worse just before and during my period. Going on blood pressure medication has not only lowered my bp to a normal level, but has also reduced my PMDD symptoms which included feeling suicidal/suicidal thoughts.

I won't. Just not in the mood for suffering fools 😊

@FoxWedding blimey I get that but not sucisidal.. I thought it was all normal

Have a read through the symptoms etc on the Mind website. It can really creep up on you, à la boiling frog. I used to be mostly alright but now the symptoms start at least 10 days before my period is due. You deserve not to feel like absolute garbage.

Don't be pathetic. Your comment wasn't funny. I have PMDD and it's ruining my life. Anything for a laugh though I suppose

@HappiestSleeping well done for making light of violence and mocking women's reproductive health issues in one go. Slow handclap for you...

ETA what you're saying doesn't even make sense. Evolution has not made it so women hate their partners when they're fertile, that makes no sense

For me, the only thing that worked for PMS was sertline. It is an anti depressant but it is the only thing that gets me through my period.

AltitudeCheck · 24/10/2024 20:27

I can 100% relate. It got much, much worse in my early 40s but has thankfully settled a lot in the last few years... that could be hormones, or because I have checked out to a degree and just get on with my own thing/ own friends a lot more!

I could go from being adamant I was leaving him and a week later we'd be getting on just fine!

I found it hysterical 🤣 and very, very appropriate.

Men are irritating at the best of times, it's no wonder he gets on your nerves when you're close to your period. Make him sleep outside until you can bear him again.
