PMS is a scary acronym for guys to hear and it affects their girlfriend physically, mentally, and emotionally before the beginning of her menstrual cycle. If she tells you that she is PMS-ing watch out because things could get a little crazy. There are many signs you can look out for if you have a girlfriend who likes to always keep you guessing whether she is or not. Knowing the symptoms may help you avoid a mine she has set up for you to step on.

Some of the symptoms are mood swings, inability to concentrate, confusion, being irrational, depression, being anxious, nervousness, sadness, anger, headaches, fatigue, and lack of energy to name a few. So how do you survive this horrible time in her life? You need to tread lightly. Whatever she says is right, and you need to be as sweet to her as you can. I know it sucks to walk on eggshells but she really can’t control her emotional outbursts so you don’t want to see that side come out of her because it isn’t attractive. Flattery will get you everywhere when she is feeling rough so give her nice genuine compliments. Be helpful and do things for her. This only happens once a month and she can go back to being the pleasant lovely girl you fell in love with.

There is really no telling what might set her off so please remember to think before you talk. If you follow these three steps then you will be more likely to survive her time of the month. Just remember that as much as she wants to she cannot control these feelings or her actions. Cut her some slack and keep chocolate and salty snacks. Just make sure she is happy and comfortable and you should be able to weather the storm.
