kd, it is my personal opinion that we women need your compassion and empathy during times of emotional turmoil for us...We seek your understanding. Hugs are the very best cure...in my humble opinion when PMS or high emotions strike. The worst thing I believe a husband can do is tell me that I am in a rage, irrational, overemotional...and that I need to go get myself some help. The best thing is for my H to hug me and say...boy you must be feeling pretty awful. I love you and wish I new what to do to help. Are the kids driving you nuts? AM I? Sorry honey, I really do love you but I guess I don't understand this hormone stuff and I probably do or say all the wrong stuff when it happens. So kd, are you man enough to try that? If so, this is what i predict will be the response from your RAGING wife: she will say oh honey, i'm sorry that I started going nuts here. You are so sweet to be worried about me. Maybe I should go see if I can get some help with this PMS stuff. For the most part kd, women respond to your validation of their 'rage' by dealing with their rage. So hey...a win win and all it takes is a little show of empathy and a hug and I love you. Try it kd, and tell me how it works, ok? Hugs to YOU, gd
