Ok I thought I had good bloke skills in this regard but I'm finding they're as useful as dry tooling beta on the embankment, so top esoteric tips from fellow vitims please.
-
"Yes dear".
Hide.
Alcohol.
Or a combination of those.

These can be neatly combined by "yes dear, I'm just popping out" > head to pub.
I tend to go for complete submissivity on what is played on the TV (which enevitably leads to some vampire shit coming on) then quietly leaving the room on the premise of making a cup of tea etc..

Hence the threads plenty from u tonite eh slopes?
Hydration. Give her an early nite.. On her own... No massive meals, little alcohol. Make the kids school lunches whilst she's still in bed. Mug of tea waiting downstairs when she gets up. Go to the wall to let her watch the box set of sex in the city...
-
Chocolate

Chocolate
ooh.. good call.. (how did I miss that! :wall:)
-
Whatever you do it's wrong (just 'cos). I make tea, its been done wrong. I try to slope of to the wall. Its not fair, as "I'll be climbing better than her". I have found that upping the amount of dairy, fish and Tofu\bean curd can lessen the "RAAAR" but inevitably not all the time. So I went just for the fish diet with the Mrs. I'll try and find my you tube notes about the fish diet, but I'm sure it's been covered plenty of times on here ;)

"Tofu bean curd RAARRR" - :thumbsup:

I'd love to help , but I've never had PMT .......
-
Sloper is this Mrs Slopers PMT or Yours?
:P
-
dear boys
have you ever smoked? and tried to give up?
that is what PMT (emotional rather than cramps of death) is like
you can feel yourself over reacting but can't help it
often the reason for annoyance is valid - but the reaction is out of proportion
- reduce reasons for annoyance
- dark chocolate
- wine
- bath
- hugs
- shit telly
for you both to know and recognize why she's acting like that (without you going "have you got fucking PMT?" anytime in the month during any argument)
for you both to know and recognize its not permanent :kiss2:
-
The suggestion that her behaviour is being influenced by PMT has to come from her. Never from you.
-

Saying "what's up with you, are you on the blob or something?" is generally regarded as a bad approach.
Lay low, agree with everything, stay clear as much as possible. This is why blokes have sheds. With fingerboards in them. And gardens.
-
"I'm sorry, I think I have PMT."
"HA! I knew it all along, I just didn't want to say it because I knew you'd get grumpy!"
-
Yeah, the most important thing, if you value your balls, is to never, ever, EVER even suggest that it might be PMT related. :spank:
-
So to summarise so far Sloper really should do the following:
- Buy lots of chocolate for the wife
- Buy lots of wine for the wife
- Buy a TV for the wife
- Fuck off down the bottom of the garden and live in a tent for a week
-
I've tried the buying chocolate tactic, but it frequently blows back in my face with "I'll only put on weight" or similar. Alcohol apparently only exacerbates the problem.
I'll generally just keep myself to myself and stay out of the way/go climbing/go to the pub/post on UKB.

1) Leave the house for a few days - move into the garage / shed.
2)Exercise
3)Combined oral contraceptive pill (New generation)
4)Cognitive behavioural therapy ( yes you can get it on the NHS)
5)Anti-depressants (SSRI) just tell her they are vitamins or give her Vitamin B6.
6)Hysterectomy including removal of ovaries - with Hormone replacement therapy including testosterone if you want a sex life.
7)Ignore it, stop her drinking alcohol.
-
A few years ago I discovered the only real cure for PMT...........the menopause! I don't know who was more relieved, me or MsC.
-
3)Combined oral contraceptive pill (New generation)
I don't know if that works across the board, it was never the case for me, I went even more psycho and not just for a few days each month. I'll stop over-sharing now. :-[

Why does it take 3 premenstrual women to change a lighbulb?
Because it fucking does OK!!!!!!

fuck me, a GP admitting his drug abuse / pedalling.... or planning the ripping out of his wifes's womb.. you've only been married 2 years!!!
BTW, have you taken those exams yet? Time to ride bikes / plan that trip to Font / drink beer blah blah blah....
sorry, went off topic there..... saves listening to the missus rant on about "feeling as if it's draggin out a me again...." and being adhered to a hot water bottle. :o
As for point 7, I agree... you have her share :alky:
-
I've got a new solution:
send the fairer half to the pub instead... ;D
I have football, internet and beer.. :beer1:

Yeah - done the exam - IT was the hardest thing I've ever done. Think I may be paying the college some more cash in a few months to get on the specialist register.
The surgical approach at least keeps the hospital in business - you know cuts no procedures with little clinical benefit etc.
Off to Canada next weekend - skiing !!

Who dares tell their Mrs that their brain shrinks at certain points of the menstrual cycle......

....well?! :P
-
I'll tell yours and then she can tell mine.
I won't tell anyone that you told me.
That'll be £88.75
-
I'd advise not saying: "you weren't trying" as the Mrs. fails on the final move of something high. It didn't go down well. Bickering ensued.

I'm game, my Mrs is used to me coming out with loads of crap, it probably won't even register with her as she ignores most of what I prattle on about.
EDIT : Reading the paper though the results say...
"In females, GM [Grey Matter, the processing part of the brains] showed a significant volume increase at ovulation (t2 versus t1) (+1.81 %, p<0.05) and a corresponding volume loss in CSF [Cerebrospinal Fluid] (−4.4 %; p<0.05) (fig. 2)"
...so its that volume increases at a certain point (although you could take that as the baseline and argue that at other stages it has decreased in relation to this).
They also note that the volume changes did not appear show any clear cut relationship between changes in brain volume and hormone levels so its far from straight-forward that there is a direct casual link.
It also mentions post-menopausal (as opposed to post-menstural) decrease in brain volume (and cites three papers), which is a completely separate issue
-
Somehow that doesn't surprise me.
EDIT - How did I know that you would actually read it all, understand it and spoil the joke?! ;)

I read it and then decided not to comment and ruin it for you all, for fear of being accused of doing it due to my small brain. :-*
I wonder if the brain size changes have anything to do with the inability to judge shopping purchases as certain times? :-\
-
Do us a favour love.

That seems to happen throughout the month.
-
I should punter you both, be thankful I have already directed my rage to another corner of the Internet today and you're both saved. :spank:
-

Are you suggesting that when the brain shrinks the bit that gets smaller is the part that understands the offside rule? Could explain a lot. We need some SCIENCE to test whether women understand the rule for 3/4 of the month and not for the other week? I reckon you're on to something Jasper.
-
I understand it all the time. :spank:
-
Get her stoned, works every time.
Well, unless you totally over do it and turn her into a paranoid mess.
-
How would you notice :)
-
I know they can be annoying but stoning's a bit harsh.

Sorry had too
