How does your DP act when you have your period?

[googoodolly]

I'm just curious, really!

No different to normal, I doubt he even knew I had my period as I don't 'announce' it and never experienced PMT/mood swings. Happy to have sex when I had my period even though I wasn't .

sooperdooper why wouldn't we tell our partners ? My partner always knows when I'm on because either he'll notice the tampon wrappers or I'll mention it in convo.

Same as he normally does. I don't behave any differently either apart from put a towel on the bed during sex to spare the sheets.

I wouldn't say he acts any differently unless I ask him to go get tampons for me - then he turns into the 15 year old kid I remember from highschool throwing a strop about what if people see him and blah blah blah. DS does it now too.

Why on earth do you ask OP?

No different. We will alter our sex life accordingly. He'll know I'm on as I may mention it but it's no big deal.

Same as normal. Pleased everything is normal and I'm not pregnant. I'm going to instigate the Steak mentioned upthread though.

Sooper I'm not sure I understand why I wouldn't mention it to DH. Its not something I hide or shout about but he notices when I wear pants to bed and the tampon box and when I insist on changing the bin in the bathroom rather than him. And the extra chocolate rations of course. And the lack of spontaneous sex (and increase in shower sex )

Its just never occurred to me to hide it from him. Thats wierd.

Are you unhappy about how your partner behaves, op?

No difference at all, including re: sex.

He is thankful that the dam that is PMT has broken, that my fangs have shrunk and that he can actually have a decent conversation with me once again.

When my period does start, he's very sympathetic as my cramps are painful and I often get teary.

The only difference is that he'll put a towel down when we have sex, at my insistence. Otherwise he wouldn't really be aware, I wouldn't specifically mention it and I use a menstrual cup so he wouldn't see any sign of it. I don't get cramps or become emotional.

It barely registers with him.

No sex.

We've been TTC for quite a while and he's disappointed and so am I. So a bit mopey, like me.

Sympathetic, because my periods are awful and he doesn't like to see me miserable.

Usual hugs & kisses with added belly rub. And chocolate / ice cream. I wuv him.

Doesn't really register it I think!

Which means he can be a bit surprised if I've been gently saying "I could do with finding a loo" if we're out and about and when I've been ignored for the umpteenth time or he's pushing for another five mins doing whatever it is we're doing I either just walk off or stamp my foot.

A bit hands off knowing we can't have sex and bit fearful for the bed sheets.I have horrendously heavy periods since have our DCs and sex is simply not on the cards.

No different than usual.

Mine never used to notice at all.
Thank goodness I never really suffered.
And now I have the implant we don't have to worry about periods at all - YEAH!!!

Neither of us are up for sex during my period. Otherwise no different.

He's quite good really. He's bringing me chocolate later on due to A.F. The only thing he misses is the lack of sex. We tried it once (sex on A.F) and it was too messy and smelly. I just give him oral and hand jobs during A.F so that usually cheers him up. I should be off my period by Friday. Awaits to pounce.
Sorry if that was T.M.I. I do have a tendency to overshare.

Sex not the lack of it

Sorry I disappeared!

Nah, I'm not concerned about how he acts, he's generally pretty wonderful, I was just wondering whether other people are as open with their DP's about it as I am, really, and what's "normal" for other couples.

I'm just a nosy mare, basically!
