I saw a program about women in India I think, where the women are sent to a house in town where they all go when the painters are in. The men called it a holiday for the women, and peace for the men. We should have those houses over here ;-)

Iggy - go out in the garden shed and stay there - and take kryptic with you.

[Quassia]

When 'the painters are in' ? Oh dear!

I like the fact that if you do kill your partner you may get charged with justifiable homicide (or whatever the legal phrase is). ;-)

Preferably lock the door from the inside so that she cannot get at you.

Isn't that Y men have 'dens' ?

I found agreeing with any and all requests was part of the answer. It did become more confusing when challenged to "have an opinion" or "man up" was thrown into the mix when the first answer ceased to please.
30 years or so on though it seems to have been the right approach. :)
As an afterthough, you have checked that there IS only one woman haven't you? You might be funding the lifestyle of identical siblings. :D

[painterman32]

Neither of you need put up with it, the doc can help her out, if not, my wife took oil of evening primrose

Well kryptic - PMS is like a trial run for when the menopause starts - you think its bad now, wait till your poor wife enters the 'change'.

Theres no use trying to rationalise .. it's irrational .. a temporary, uncontrolable state of mind .. lol douglas, theres no winning is there. Here's personally how it is for me. The normal irritating habits men have that we can normally overlook & laugh about become exaggerated. Dont goad us either, why do men do that? A few days out of a month, be nice!

[Quassia]

Lol den. Kryptic, it's all a bit cryptic :0/

[Thunderchild]

aren't there rugs that can help ? my mother had problems and it broke the marriage (although my dad is not good at managing situations and adapting). unfortunately in my mums case she refused to get treated

<why do women deny that they have pms?>
Because, if they have a valid complaint about something, the man will dismiss it as 'it's just 'cos you've got the decorators in'.

Many moons ago, I had treatment in Harley Street for PMS - cost me a fortune but never really worked. On one appointment, I realised perhaps my symptons weren't that bad, as the girl sitting next to me in the waiting room was in handcuffs with a minder.....(:o(

[Cowtipper]

Mine isn't too bad. I just tell her I understand she hurts but that it isn't ok to take it out on me. She's got a sock filled full of rice that she warms in the microwave and lays across her tummy and if I see its cold I rewarm it for her. I find little girls (I grew up with two sisters) are the worst about it. I find a lot of times that her stress level adds a lot to it so I try to keep things squared away. She seems happiest when I ask her things like "Do you want me to come lay down with you?" instead of "Why don't you go lay down?". I make sure she's got enough pads and liners and there's ibuprofen in the house. The subject of men buying pads came up once at a family gathering and I said "There's so many kinds, how do I know what to pick up? I mean, should I get odor control or not?" All seven or ten women in the room yelled "No, its not ok!".

Yes that pees me off, when it's every man's line to say to a woman who dare speak her mind - for them to reply 'What's up with you, time of the month?" arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh....cant they think up something more original...like we are not allowed to be upset or angry anyway...
