Curious...has W always been like this throughout the 25 years you've been married? PMSing like a clockwork every month? Isn't she peri-menopausal?
I don't get all PMSy at all. I just deal with it like one deals with a paper cut.
WOnka .... yeah for the most part, and I typically pick up on it like last night, just her facial expressions. I would say 4/5 are pretty nasty

I'm also surprised your W reacted OK when you hinted that when she was PMSing she is looking for a fight..... usually when a man says that to a woman WHILE she is actively PMSing, it causes a woman to flip a sh!t. Definitely hand her some credit for the apology.....
Honestly, there are few women who use the PMS as an "excuse" to pick fights. But for the most part, there is minimal control when hormones are involved.
I have a confession that makes me feel like the crappiest mother. But it's only me and my D8. No other adults around the house. She is a huge button/boundary pusher and when I am PMSing, my patience is not there. I am highly emotional and hormonal and I become a b!tch with my poor 8 year old, then I cry about it. If I could control that, trust me, I would. I feel like the most awful parent when I get mad at something I normally have patience for.
And another word of advice, issues that could wait, should wait until that time is over.
Thank you Ginger ... might be something I need to think about because honestly at times I feel like she pulls the PMS card to lash out and spew as much venom as humanly possible .... then acts as if nothing happened after .... again .. its the unresolved stuff under the carpet that starts to build up.
