If your husband is moody does that give him free reign to treat you like crap as long as he gives you a heads up that he is moody and going to treat you like crap?
so you're equating "severe PMS" with testosterone that leads to "male behavior."? The internet.![]()

There are quite a few articles [b]showing higher levels of testosterone can lead to aggression and dominance. And we know that in about 7 days of abstinence from sex, testosterone levels rise significantly. So basically you are saying that if a man doesn't have sex for a week, and his testosterone levels rise then aggression and dominance are acceptable and the wife should just tolerate it because it is caused by a hormonal shift.

NP here. You don't get it.
I have on more than one occasion bitten my family's head off on a given day only to realize a couple of days later that it was due to PMS (I'm terrible at keeping track and not that regular either). The effect is off the charts and totally uncontrollable unless you know to expect it.
Your comment equates to saying that being on speed isn't an excuse for bad behavior.

I'm pursuing supplements, meditation and acupuncture in hopes of getting things under control and it's working so far. However, it's not gone completely and I feel like I need to tell my DH to tread lightly during those days in the month. Does anyone remind their spouses of this on a monthly basis? Dare I ask, is there an app that you have used? Does the reminder even help?
