Do you treat your wife with extra care while she has her periods?

Ahahah I think I love you... this thread is so ridiculous

You know, I feel like a lot of people like you two are being ridiculous. Most people on this thread are being ridiculous.

I think some women have really uneventful periods and so can't really relate, but like, I get TERRIBLE cramps when I have my period. And of course my husband knows, because we don't do anything intimate during that time so it comes up. But I mean, its not like he treats me differently but he absolutely sees that I'm in pain, helps pick up some of my chores, orders pizza, that kind of stuff. Extra care doesn't have to mean a big lift, it just has to mean like, showing that you understand that your partner is going through something kind of unpleasant and showing a modicum of compassion about it.

For many women periods suck, and IMO the least sympathetic people to this aren't men, its other women who have milder periods.

If you take birth control you can avoid this.

Birth control has its own risks. Lots of breast cancer in my family. Messing with hormones. No thank you. i'll take difficult periods.

Why are you talking to adult females who have likely had period for decades as if they don't know what birth control options are available to them?

My husband is pretty awesome. My hormones trigger migraines, so the worst part about my period is the headaches.

He will normally help make dinner, let me lay down early, give DD a bath.

Every woman's period is different. I have very mild symptoms (light bloating, a little tiredness) so there's no reason for dh to do anything special for me. But my sister has super horrible symptoms (debilitating pain, cramps, bloating, migraines, etc), BIL usually takes over most kid/house responsibilities when she has her period. If you have an illness that affects your daily function, it's normal for your spouse to do more.

It us ridiculous that a woman expects some kind of coddling every month when her body is functioning as it should.

Were you the girl who tried to get out of gym when she had her period?

Newsflash, it is 2020.
