You are NOT alone int this. I feel retarted because EVERY month I contemplate breaking up and focus on all the negative stuff, things i don’t like, how i could be happier with someone else, how i don’t deserve to feel like that, how i want the happy ever after and the perfect relationship. It’s brutal, every month I go through this and it’s awful. I’m amazed he sticks around and deals with it. When i’m unhappy in my relationship, it maximizes by 100 when i’m pms ing….why is that? how can we fix it? Stacie

“If I’m in an unhappy relationship, I feel more unhappy and start plotting how to end it.” –This is so funny yet so true. I used to feel that a lot, too. Sometimes it’s so bad that I actually talk to him about ending it when I know that it’s all hormonal anyway. That’s why I think it’s important for the men to know what really goes on, that it’s all hormonal, that they should just give us a few more days to snap out of it. You’re definitely not alone, Yanka.

I agree about the “peak” right before your period starts. For me, it’s a time when my truest feelings come into focus, when I can’t deny them, can’t pretend they’re not there. If I’m dissatisfied with my job, I feel even more dissatisfied. If I’m in an unhappy relationship, I feel more unhappy and start plotting how to end it. It’s getting to a point where PMS is becoming my aid for self-knowledge. Sounds a little strange, doesn’t it? I wonder if I’m alone in this.
