How can we girls not get freaked out? And what're you to do about it? All in all, the best strategy is to stay calm, shower us with unexpected praise and wait until the week from hell becomes a distant memory for both of us. The three weeks that follow should give you plenty of prep time before our period starts all over again.
Stay Calm: Somebody Has To
Look, you know why she's all wound up. By now, she's told you she's on the rag even if you didn't want to know. So it's not like she's blind-sided you. This is a regular occurrence, right? Next time she accuses you of not getting it say "Damn, you must be in a lot of pain. I'll get the Tylenol. Let's watch "Beauty and the Geek. I'll rub your stomach".
Praise Pays: Taking the Edge Off
"Do I look fat in this?" Pull her close, so she can't see those lying eyes, and tell her that she looks absolutely perfect. Any line of crap will do. Use your imagination. You've done it before. "Baby, you couldn't look better if you tried", "You're the most beautiful woman in the world."
Wait it Out: It's Only One Week
In one week's time, or less, it will all be over. But anything you do or say that's insensitive will last a lifetime. That's the way love goes. Better to wait it out than lose your girl over something neither one of you have any control over.
Don't freak out, tell us we look sexy and remember it only lasts a week. Period.
