    FI and I had an argument today. During said argument he says we only tend to fight towards my period.  (I'm due this week.) I'm not sure if that's true or not, since I think we usually have legitimate ressons for the arguement.

    Has anyone else been told the same thing?

    He's never mentioned it, but I definitely think we do fight more around my period! We also fight a lot more when FI is stressed about school - he picks fights with me about the dumbest stuff, about about 15 minutes into it he's like "wait, are we seriously fighting about this?!"

    I haven't been TOLD the same thing, but I've noticed that we usually argue when I'm... moody, shall we say. Or he's doing something that I REALLY don't like.

    Haha. We fight when we are stressed, too. Right now we are having a money issue and we're moving this weekend. Plus he hasn't done any transfer paper work for school and we are working around Pennie. lol. So we have a lot going on!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one! I was beggining to think I was crazy! lol.

    I was just going to write a post with the same thing!  2 months ago my SO showed me a calendar from last year where he marked "F" on days when we had a fight and put a red dot on days when I got my period (yes he's insane, and I laughed hysterically when he showed me this).  Unfortunately, it was true.  We fight the day before I get my period, every time...like clockwork.  And yep, we fought today, tomorrow my period is due.

    lol @ Kericita-That's hilarious he did that. I may need to try it to see if it's true for me!

    @Wendy-He pisses me off, too. His comment just made me curious if we were the only couple that may or may not do that!

    yea i dont really think there is any correlation for me. but i've been on the pill forever and i dont get pms or anything either. we don't really fight all that often but it seems pretty sporadic. 

    we fought about an hour ago-- boo. still not resolved. hate that.

    ha, we fight when we are in bad moods and definitely when its that time of the month! FI tells me that hes ready for more fights when that week rolls around and he is usually right!

    i know that i can get snippy during that week and try to control myself but without fail we ALWAYS fight at least once that week. embarrassing but soooo true!!

    Hmm well he has never come right out and said it, but the other day I was pmsing and I knew it - I spazzed out at him about something ridiculous that i can't even remember now and a few seconds later I realized it and just busted out laughing. I was like "I have no idea why I just freaked out like that! I think I'm pmsing!" I don't always realize it lol but I'm sure that there is an increase in my moodiness around that time.

    We don't fight very often. Usually more when he's tired, or if I am not super careful of how I express my feelings - he does not take criticism very well and feels overly responsible for my feelings, so he does not react well and it will trigger an argument. Usually everything will be resolved the day after.

    FI's never said anything about it (and that's one of the many reasons I love him...he puts up with me!) but we definitely fight more the week prior.  I find myself picking fights for no good reason at all and one minute I'm ticked off and the next minute I'm laughing and happy.  Sometimes I wonder how they put up with us....

    I just had my first period in 4 months but yeah, i was definitely bitchier! He just kinda looks at me, knows i'm having a "crazy day" and doesn't provoke it.

    We barely ever fight, but when we do it's definitely when I am PMSing.  I get really sensitive, as much as I hate to admit it!

    @ Corgi-I was happy with myself. Normally I don't budge and he apologizes first. lol.

    @ Stine_white_I often have to wonder, too! lol.

    hah.. I can't really talk to him right now because I'm "PMSing too much."  We just argue about stupid crap it's nothing terrible, but still frustrating.  I do catch myself a lot and end up laughing.  Like we just argued about the difference between nauseus and nauseated....soo important, I know. 

    @hisbarista - on the calendar his justification is "I wanted to accurately predict when you would become insane."  Atleast it made me aware, because before he showed me that I would have said there was  no correlation at all.

    We never fight EXCEPT when we are drunk. I tend to pick on him when I am drunk and he acts silly, which pisses me off. So we stopped drinking!

    FI has told me the exact same thing, and I actually agree! The only time we really argue is when I'm about to start and I get really emotional about things and sometimes act crazy! Lol.

    Never. Seriously, maybe once or twice a year if we've been drinking we'll pick a fight about something ridiculous, then forget it completely when we sober up. Possibly FI's best feature is his instinct to defuse our conflicts before they get started. I don't think there is anything wrong with couples fighting; of course it can be a healthy process, but we just don't do it. It's kind of miraculous given how we both have tempers - but, mine is short and explosive whereas his is a slow, sinister burn, so we're just never angry at the same time. One of us is always in the mood to compromise.

    I noticed this just last week.  Before I start I am easily irritated and moody and tend to get my feelings hurt very easily.  For example...yesterday we had gone out to lunch, done some shopping, and went to a museum.  We get in, I get comfy because my jeans had been wet from the rain, and he starts asking what I want for dinner.  I knew this was leading to me having to go to the store, which I didn't want to do.  So, for some reason I freaked out about having to go by myself ( he was doing some paperwork) and being pissed that he didn't say anything before I changed.  Completely irrational and ridiculous.  He looked at me like I had grown another head and said, "really? you're crying about having to go to the store by yourself?"  At that point I realized I was being a complete moron, put some jeans on, and took my ass to the store. 

    @xoxokristin  We tend to fight when we both drink...or more like when I get drunk.  For some reason the last few times I've picked fights with him too.  He tells me I'm an acting like an idiot and can't hold my beer which angers me even further. LOL  I've realized that he was right and tend to keep the drinking to just a few.

    @Lilyfaith - that's funny.  It must be the caffeine withdrawal.  I know when I'm getting cranky, because FI will simply leave the room and return with a Diet Coke and silently set it down in front of me.

    i definitely feel myself getting more easily agitated and annoyed around "that time of the month"... even in the midst of an argument (around that time)... i mentally find myself asking why i'm even upset?... LOL

    I'm on the pill that cuts down on the number of periods, so I like to think I don't PMS that much, but I do know that sometimes I can feel myself being insane.  And I do love FI for putting up with me.  But I would like to say that women do not hold the monopoly on temporary hormonal (or whatever) insanity.  My FI goes through peiods where he's totally irrational, emotional, and frankly, nutty.  Please tell me some other bees have FI's who do this??  ;)

    We rarely fight, but if we do, it's when one of us is over tired and stressed from work.
