My poor sweetie is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. The older I get, the worse my PMS gets and I admit I'm in a very bad place (as in depressed) oftentimes when I'm PMS'ing. St. John's Wort has helped ALOT, but that's another thread...

The reason he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't is largely because I want him to leave me alone but then I'm upset if he does leave me alone. I guess what I really need is for him to hover, but not in a "hand wringing" kind of way; to just be there. Yeah, it would be really nice if he were to silently take my feet and massage them, or my neck. Sometimes nonverbal communication is the key.

I realize it's very hard for our significant others to suffer through our PMS, but I do hope they understand that it's at least equally hard to be in our skin, and that we're not doing this intentionally! It also doesn't mean that we don't love him dearly, it's just a bit harder to show it and during this time it really needs to be ABOUT US.
