[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have sympathy period symptoms when she's on her period, so I actually expect her to treat me better during that time[/quote]
Ahahah I think I love you... this thread is so ridiculous [/quote]

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. [/quote]

No, I think it’s ridiculous that men have to treat women differently when they are on their periods... of course if you are in pain, sick, depressed, etc. your significant other should try to help out. Having your period or not has nothing to do with it because (like you said) many women have no real issues.
I hate it, but it does not cause me pain so why should my husband treat me differently? [/quote]

I don't think he should 'treat me differently' if 'differently' means that he acts like I'm slow or feeble while I'm on my period. Showing some consideration for the fact that I'm feeling a little off/under the weather because of it? Absolutely, as I do when he feels bad.

I also would not expect anyone at work or anything to treat me differently. But my spouse is someone who cares about how I'm feeling. My spouse treats me differently int he sense that he's a little extra caring and helpful even if I am just grumpy for no good reason, and I do the same. Having a spouse who loves me means I don't have to go around suffering in silence so no one thinks I'm weak. He knows I'm a strong and capable woman and he treats me accordingly. He also loves me and cares about my well being so treats me accordingly on that front as well. [/quote]
