Help a husband to understand PMS

[Dis]

I just can't understand why natural selection would allow the hormones to work that way. It makes no sense.

Therefore I don't believe in PMS .

[rah]

Spoken like a man that hasn't had to live with the obvious display of symptoms.

[Dis]

I believe the symptoms. I just don't beleive hormones cause that.

Why would hormones have such a negative effect on women, when our (men's) hormones have such a positive effect? Why would evolution work in such a screwed up way? Do chimpanzees have PMS?

[rah]

So you postulate that the whole PMS thing is a FEMALE conspiracy to drive men mad. hmmmmmmmm

Let's put it in focus. Woman gets hormonal imbalance. They get depressed and weepy, but are usually still capable of looking after a child. That's evolution.

Man gets hormonal imbalance (it happens- I've had it). He gets all pushy and "Me chief!". If it works, make him chief and give him twenty wives. If it doesn't, he's sharkbait. That's evolution.

EGADS! I have been away for too long! Last I heard you were dating selfbiased. Or is that your new sparky?

*Kisses from your torchtoy*

And a very belated congrats on your marriage.

How are the other Austin terrors doing? (assuming yer still down there). Say hi to Blackie & Femme for me if you get a chance.

Well!! Go to bed and leave you guys to it

**runs and hugs torchtoy** I'll Pm you the details no need to do it here.

To answer someone above who said we should have neon signs as a warning.......see my earlier post. I always and I mean always (and self can confirm this) warn the person the week before and keep repeating it every day so that when the exorcist woman makes her apperance, and she always does, then fore warned is fore armed I say.

I know how bad I get and it isn't fair to the person I'm with not to warn them. Steve's problem is he can't understand why I can't control the things that fly out of my mouth occasionally while PMSing. It just happens. I hear myself saying it and thinking what the fu** am I saying and why and STOP!! But out it comes. And then I spend the next hour crying. It sucks.

The only thing I know is chocolate and lots of it!

Che used to predict my onset, and i'd get angry at him. I'd say that maybe i'm mad at him cuz he's a jerk, then a day or two later sheepishly realize he was right dead on target.

You should all be confined to huts in a remote area when this occurs.
Primitive tribes had this down long before now, but we've gone and screwed it up with all this cohabitation nonsense.
In fact, I think men and women should live apart all the time, except for purposes of procreation.
That goes for children, too.

You want children to procreate?

SNOT!!!

I can go there with Bunny. If I miss calculate by a few days and forget to warn him then we usually wind up having conversations like........why are you being such a bit**? The next day or two I figure it out.

There is a surprising amount of "chemical" communications between a bonded couple, about fertility, desire levels, moods. Its very powerful. I'm not surprised Chegitz knows. Its very freaky.

I'm surprised how tuned in I am to Mrs Horse and I'm no sensitive new age guy. Mrs Horse is a veritable volcanoe of chemical signals for me. The trouble comes when you're out of sync.

I think one reason she dislikes my smoking is she can't read my scent the way I can read hers. Muwahahaha!!!

Oh yeah - and men have periods too!

[Tiamat]

...but Because YES THEY DO!! And funny you should mention that because Steve was having one yesterday. He woke up fired up, took it to work and brought it home with him. You say something and he jumped. I told him at one point "you feeling froggy"

But that would support your statement above about being in tune and chemicaly bonded. It's the same principle as having several women in one house. When all three of my girls came to womanhood we all wound up within a week of each other. One would start and so on.

I swear I used to be able to detect a girlfriend coming around the corner, before I could even see or hear her. And this was when I wasn't even expecting to see her.

I never argued with someone that much but there was some kind of overwhelming chemical mix going on there.
