You have your period. You don't have your "periods". It's singular, OP.

Op is veering into incel territory lol

I think DW would be pissed if I treated her differently. She's very much a "hormones are not an excuse for bad behavior" type person. When she was pregnant, her hormones would be all over the place and she would always want me to be honest with her if they were veering into "over the top crazy woman" (her words).


We are generally kind and patient when one of us isn't feeling 100% whether it's cramps hormones or a cold. So I guess I treat her differently in that regard. But it's a mutual thing no matter the cause.

This seems like an odd question to me, but then again, my periods are pretty uneventful. I don't expect him to do anything differently during that time of the month.

On the occasions when I have been sick, and after giving birth, he was very attentive and took care of me, so I assume he'd do the same if I was suffering from debilitating cramps or something.

I have sympathy period symptoms when she's on her period, so I actually expect her to treat me better during that time

I get weepy and have bad pain (esp back pain...ugh!) for a couple days each month. We kind of laugh about what makes me cry and he's sweet about the pain.

He put on the movie Marley during one of those days and I had never seen it before. He stopped the movie at one point and was like "Was this a mistake? Are you going to be okay?" I was a puddle over that sweet dog. Hahaha.

I hate the term "on your period" - it is like we are on some fancy vacation. "Have your period" maybe...but "on your period" just makes me imagine that we are somewhere else.

I do not want nor do I expect "different" treatment to account for my "hormonal changes." My husband treats me with kindness regularly and it would be super weird if he changed his behavior for a week every month because he assumed I was going to be "extra sensitive."

Also, and I wouldn't do this if your post wasn't so dumb, it's "husbands."

That time of the moneth, huh? Take Midol.

Lol, right?

I don't think my husband even ususally knows when I'm on my period. But it's also not a big dramatic thing for me. While it's always some level of unpleasant, luckily I don't have awful cramps or other severe symptoms. I don't expect or get any special treatment.

I send her to the Red Tent, then on the eighth day she must take two doves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. The priest is to sacrifice one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. In this way he will make atonement for her before the LORD for the uncleanness of her discharge.

I let my husband know if I am under the weather, for whatever reason, and he is kind to me. That's it.

I think it’s normal to be kind and patient when people are in pain or upset. I had severe cramps and eventually menoragghia (sp?) right when I met DH. I already had two kids and he had a kid so I opted to have uterine ablation and end my periods. But he’s really nice when I have other pains. As I am to him.

Having periods is the part and parcel of being a woman. Many women are extra sensitive during this time due to hormonal changes. I personally feel a great husband should show extra kindness and be there for hus wife during this time. I'm curious to know if the husband's on here do anything special for their wives during their periods or do they treat them normally as any other day?

How do you treat your wife while she's on her periods?
