What do I do?
How do you tell a guy you overreacted due to your period?
What do I do?
I am a very honest person already. But I love to have fun. So I would just say something like..."l'm sorry fresh batch of bitch the other day... but it's leveled out now ".
If I man can't handle to ride the dragon with you a few days of the month... ain't worth your time. Lol
I gotta say... it saddens me to see how many ladies encouraging you to lie or avoid the truth... such bad advice for ANY relationship... let alone one just starting up. You don't have to go into detail
Just like some other ladies have said on here. Just give him a heads up when they are coming and have an agreement you may need a day or two... no questions asked... unless it's would you like some chocolate? 😜
Honestly I wish I could just tell him but we just met and I feel awkward about it. I shouldn’t though cause it’s a natural thing but I don’t know how he’d respond.
Honestly sweetheart if you enter a relationship with ideas of "not knowing how he will react " so I won't tell him. Your relationship is already doomed
Relax!!! It's your freaking period. Every woman since beginning of time has had this. And men have been aware. Lol
If he reacts like an ass... then it his loss. Your better off knowing now because it's something you will have to deal with for another 20+ years
If he can't help you along.. fuck him
You’re right. Thanks!!
:) :) xo
A man old enough to date should certainly know about our periods & hopefully can deal in a mature manner. If he can't handle it then you probably don't need to get involved with him.
You don't need to get into graphic details about it, something like you just don't feel well that time of the month.
You’re definitely right
Much agreed
And that's the very same thing if a woman cannot handle how straight to the point their men are, she isn't worth out time
"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to ignore you. I have been acting weird lately. It has nothing to do with my feelings for you. Please don't take it wrong. I'm just not my usual self right now."
Love this

I don't know! That's a really good question!
On the one hand, men already are skeptical of women's ability to control their emotions. (That's why many of us are wary of getting married and living with one woman forever.).
But we've been told that it's because you have periods. That's the official "excuse."
So we reluctantly accept that with the caveat that periods are temporary and only happen once a month. So, 12 periods a year. 720-840 periods during the entire marriage. (I GUESS that's manageable?)
But we still would like to know when the periods are, so we can know when to expect "Mrs. Hyde." Being prepared for such things is very helpful.
As far as how much to divulge during the dating phase -- since you do want to protect your own privacy -- I'd have to say just use your best judgement. But do remember that you're trying to hook the guy. So if you treat him like shit just because you're on your period then that's not really a good start to the relationship; and it very likely might push him away.
A dude recognizes when it's that time of the month, after a few times that they go through it with you.
Every woman reacts in a different way to the hormonal influx and directly correlated hemorrage, and men have been tolerant for ages, thing that won't change in the modern days.
Depending on the symptoms that the woman in exam shows, it might be a good idea to leave her be completely, stay close to her if she gets weak or be particularly supportive if they get depressed.
It’s true because one of my exes once said are u ready for your period it’s coming up 😂 he started memorising what days I flare up
Bracing for impact is mandatory.
You dont. I used to say stuff like this when I was younger. I used to get pms bad.
but as I reduced my stress levels, ate better, balanced my life better my pms symptoms basically disppeared.
your period isn’t an excuse for emotional outbursts. It means your life is stressing you out.
you just apologise saying sorry I was a bit too much the other day, just feel a bit stressed out lately.
My social life is stressing me the FUCK out but that’s out of my control. I’m doing what I can do so
Just tell him you over reacted and don’t give him the reason why. Women can get emotional anytime (period or not) from my experience. He will likely take it well if you own up to not being fair earlier.
But I can’t help but ask. Have you ever told a guy you overreacted (said or did wrong) when you were NOT interested in him?
No if I’m not into him I don’t bother lol.
If I’m in a relationship or we’ve established something between us I’ll tell him when I’m on my period beforehand. I tend to get super super emotional.
This guy I hardly know seemed a bit odd to tell him.
“ No if I’m not into him I don’t bother lol.”
So it’s okay to be rude to guys your are not interested in?
Well you could lie and just make up something that would have taken all your attention that day, however, lying isn't the greatest thing to do with a potential partner. I know it's a tad personal to talk as about that but if I were him, I'd be content with the truth, I understand it's just part of life for women and it's not something you meant to do (as in if you had the choice of ignoring what was in your head, you likely would have). If you do it start dating this guy this won't be a subject you can just avoid if it keeps happening so I suggest transparency, no matter how uncomfortable it is, it shows him a level of openness and trust and let's you figure out how he will handle this type of stuff in the future.
"How do you tell a guy you overreacted due to your period?" Let me rephrase that question from a guy's perspective. "How do you tell a guy that you have an ironclad excuse for your behavior and you shouldn't be held responsible for your actions?"
And. . . it's a gender specific excuse that, since he is not a female, he is not allowed to question?"
"I obviously don’t want to tell the guy I’m on my period cause I hardly know him." So don't tell him.
"But I may have ignored him for an entire day because I suddenly thought he doesn’t like me... I was feeling extra emotional due to my period" You either ignored him for an entire day or you didn't; which is it? Why are you "waffling" on what happened?
"and now he’s mad I ignored him." If he had done this to you, how would you feel?
Guys will never understand a thing about our period. They know some simple things but they can’t understand the hormones changes, the cramps, mood swings and many other things and even explaining to them will change nothing but some will try to understand what we go through. Anyways about your question try to tell the guy in a good way that you’ve been in some pressure due to something and the whole situation was completely was misunderstanding
You also don't understand about how we feel about women when they're on their periods. We do understand how periods work but what do you want us to do about it? Expect us to be mind readers? Also because you don't understand that we are not pushovers and you don't understand we have feelings too if that's the case
All you need to do is give your girl a hug and some chocolates. That’s it. @aiko_e_lara
Luckily I'm a hugger. Not all guys are like that.
Nice
Really know how can we know if you really want chocolate at this time when you ignore? It's still going to remain a mystery you know unless you really tell
Lool you’re right I don't know
Just admit you were wrong and say I am emotional because I'm on my period and I'll work on it. That is what I have done. I get super bitchy during my period
Same girl i hated him yesterday miss him today what is this LOL
I know right I get over shit quicky tho I don't dwell
That’s a nice trait to have
The best apologies are when u don't make excuses. Recognize what u did, say you are sorry and tell him what you are going to do to try and prevent it from happening again.
If you just say sorry I did, blank because of blank it is just a hollow apology that means nothing
I saw a comment from a guy exactly like this about being mad at a girl because she ignored him while on her period or something. Or I think he thought she was on her period.
It is okay if you just met him and tell him you were on your period because it is a natural thing that happens to women and a very good thing because without it new life cannot be created. You just tell him the truth plain and simple. He is old enough to understand the rest.
Well tell me what do you really want when you're on your period? Space or attention? When you get hurt over some things we thought it wouldn't hurt you, his solution is to actually give you space. Sure you can tell him that you're on your period and you can try to understand but you can also try to understand that men are more into solutions than emotional support.
I want cuddles 😭
*hugs*
Aw thanks lol
Because my mind led me to believe he doesn’t want to give me cordiales
Cuddles *
Alright alright
Don’t make excuses... what because your suffering you have the out from making others suffer? Women shouldn’t hide behind their periods for why they act like bitches... instead try and not be a bitch because if a man acts on his hornyness i guarantee there would be an issue.
Apologize. Everyone's been in a unsavory mood. It would benefit you to convey that fact to him because we all have to make adjustments but if he doesn't know then neither of you will move forward with the relationship. If you think he will assume that you are irrational when on you're menstruating then you probably should work on using logic when thinking instead of reacting with your emotions. If you're unprepared to work on yourself how would the relationship ever work? Its all work
well just tell him you had your period and was feeling something something🤔or if you really dont want to say that then say that you were not feeling okay so you didn't feel like talking at all but honesty is best policy and he is a adult right? he does know you women have periods and sometimes they hurt sometimes you feel cranky or some shit🤣well he should, sure bodily functions can be embarassing or funny when you are a kid
Just tell him the truth, us men Dont know what it's like to have a period so if he is considerate then he would see over it, like I said, men don't know what it's like so a girls behavior throughout that time isn't really a topic you can argue about, unless he doesn't believe you or he has some kind of problem or he is just a dick, just be honest and take your chances I'd say
Just say sorry he dont need to know about ur period i mean u barely know him that would be weird to use as excuse ur period. And if we girls hate that some guys ask us if we are on our period every time we are being moody then we should stop using that as excuse to being moody.
Do you not want to use those words specifically or not let him know about it at all? If you do explain that it was that time of the month he'll most likely understand a little better why you ignored him. But if you try to offer an explanation and beat around the bush regarding your period then you'll just sound like you're making excuses. Most guys accept that a woman's period does make them very emotional. You're best off coming clean!
Just tell him like this, Hey I'm sorry I was sick and my emotions were all over the map and I take full responsibility and I just wish we could please talk.. If he refuses to accept well wait to see if he comes around, I have been around enough girls I know what to expect when they are on their time of the month
"I'm so sorry I over-reacted. I'm on my period. I know, it's no excuse but that's what happened. Forgive me?"
Damn you guys don’t know what periods do to us
Oh wow
I say don't blame your period just apologize for overreacting. Blaming your period is an excuse. That said, it might be a valid one, but I would rather hear a straightforward apology. There is no reason to make an excuse valid or not. Just apologize. Now you don't need to feel awkward and you still apologized.
