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

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.

@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

Edited

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

I feel like this!

how long have you been married?
you and he have discussed this ?

I purposely see as few people as possible during that time. If I lived with someone, I'd feel like you.

Sorry. It's shit.

I never suffered from PMS etc. But my DH tells me that he used to mark his ex DW's periods in the calendar as she became 'evil' (as he describes it) so that he could take the kids out & leave her to get on with it. He says that he did his best to support her, but apparently she became very angry & generally not a nice person for a few days. He says he learned to get on with it & to get him & the kids out of her way.

Sounds like PMDD. I'm currently in the middle of it and have had to fight the urge to make seriously nasty comments or physically hurt my nearest and dearest several times today alone.

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.
