You know why they call it PMS? Because "mad cow disease" was already taken.
Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
I can't offer any thoughts on PMS because I've never really had it. H told me in the past that he saw no discernable difference in me regardless of where I was in my cycle.
What I find really concerning is seeing women and men in "us vs. them" camps. And I'm honestly trying to understand how a man can so desire a woman who, when not having sex with him, annoys the crap out of him and hurts him deeply. If she's that awful, why would he love her and want to be with her? Either he's a glutton for punishment, or she's not quite that awful.
I do understand that much of this is venting. I do. And I'm sorry that you are in pain because of your situation.
And love-wanted, I find the reference to a woman's monthly menstrual cycle as "Red Riding Hood" to be very disrespectful. Then again, maybe I'm just oversensitive or have no sense of humor. I'm still trying to figure that out.
And there's that word again -- respect. I think a lot of our respective issues come down to lack of respect for one another, for who we are, for ourselves, for our partners.
