How to thank my husband for taking care of me on my period?

Best thing you can do is to come up with a plan to not inflict this on him next month. All the sweet gifts in the world will not stop this from getting really old if it happens regularly.

I get terrible mood swings with my PMS and am not fun to be around. I mark these days in my calendar and plan to indulge in alone time or time with girlfriends. I basically just spend a couple of days avoiding him for his own good lol.

Aww I’m sorry you went through this. I know it never feels good to hurt the man you love. A genuine apology for your behavior is a great start. Also just thanking him for specific things that he did and the way he handled everything can go a long way for making him feel appreciated and seen.

Yes as another comment said- come up with a game plan to not treat him like that again. Is it possible in your budget to get your hormones checked? Moodiness is one thing, but this sounds like a little bit worse than just a bad mood. He might appreciate that you are taking it very seriously. Be genuine and humble yourself. Let him know you’re not proud of the way you acted or treated him, then let him know how you plan to act differently next time your hormones feel like they’re raging. Sending you hugs; you are human and you want to do better and can do better!

I get that mood swings can be a bitch, and it's ok to need some support when you're in pain. He'll want to take care of you, he's your husband. He'll cut you some slack if you're moody and clingy for a few days.

But - unless you have some kind of very serious mental illness or are drugged or something - you still are 100% responsible for your behavior. A period won't turn you into a werewolf unless you allow it.

If you want to make up for it, just apologize, take accountability and do better.

just be open and honest, and explain how what you were doing was wrong. make an effort to treat him more respectfully during the next time this happens, and tell him you will. take some time to really go into detail about how much you appreciate how he treated you, and how much you love him. that would make him really happy. if you want to try and do something extra special to make it up to him, maybe cook him a dinner that’s a bit more pricey or extravagant than usual (or just a favorite meal), or buy him a cute gift, or go out together and do something you’d both enjoy on your dime. i’m sure he’ll appreciate any efforts shown!

Just verbally express your gratitude with honesty and openness. Men don’t get that nearly enough.

I remember when I was pregnant with our second child my vomiting was so much worse than it was with our first, to the point where at times I was a useless, nauseated blob for hours at a time (even with meds). One night I turned to my husband and told him "I'm sorry for piling all the childcare (human and dogs) onto you lately, I just want to let you know that I SEE YOU and appreciate you taking over."

My husband really liked that I verbally acknowledged his help. It's easy to accidentally overlook our partner's contributions in the hubbub of life. That said, later that evening I did research and test new way to approach blowjobs which he also very enthusiastically appreciated ;)

Just tell him that you appreciate those things and you’re sorry you were feeling so bad.

We all go through it at some point. I didn’t have pms for 10 years and recently I’ve been getting it. I’m getting older so maybe some hormonal changes. Idk. My fiancé is really good about it but obviously gets concerned. I just make sure to communicate to him that I’m ok, and sometimes I just cry and there’s really nothing wrong with me, it’s just hormones and make sure he knows I’m ok and that I love him. Obviously he still gets concerned and I really try not to lash out at him, because it’s not his fault you know.

You guys sound awesome btw!

When do you plan on having kids?

Not really what you asked for, but if you’re not trying for kids at the moment, did you consider getting on birth control to try reducing your period pains/cramps a bit ? Might be worth it.

Pretty simple. Fuck his brains out in between periods.
