I'm just curious, really! Grin

fearful Slightly apprehensive?

penguinplease · 06/08/2014 08:44

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

bouncinbean · 06/08/2014 08:45

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

Spinaroo · 06/08/2014 08:46

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

whatdoesittake48 · 06/08/2014 08:49

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.

Letthemtalk · 06/08/2014 08:50

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....

sooperdooper · 06/08/2014 08:51

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

Whilewildeisonmine · 06/08/2014 08:51

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

sooperdooper · 06/08/2014 08:52

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

treaclesoda · 06/08/2014 08:52

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

beccajoh · 06/08/2014 08:52

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.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 06/08/2014 08:53

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.

GothMummy · 06/08/2014 09:03

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.

sebsmummy1 · 06/08/2014 09:06

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.

SnakeyMcBadass · 06/08/2014 09:08

Relieved. My pmt is hellish.

He cooks me a steak.

Branleuse · 06/08/2014 09:13

he acts normal. Im not sure why he would act differently??

bonzo77 · 06/08/2014 09:25

As normal. Shares my disappointment that I'm not pregnant. Again.

Quitelikely · 06/08/2014 09:27

Terrified Grin

OhBabyLilyMunster · 06/08/2014 09:31

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

Deluge · 06/08/2014 09:32

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

WiggleGinger · 06/08/2014 09:33

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?

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?
