Mimic her cravings

If you suggest salad night, she will detest you. Now her only options are to A) Eat salad and pretend she wasn’t craving nachos/pizza/burgers/chocolate or B) Be the one to suggest the fattier food. You must suggest the fattier food. Let her feel like it was your idea.

Yes, she can borrow your boxers

Or sweatpants or whatever cozy item of yours that she likes. Do not, for even a second, suggest that she might bleed on them. She’s been menstruating for several years now. She’s got a handle on that part of it. Now hand over those damn fleece pants!

That being said…treat it like a situation

We feel like we’re not supposed to complain to you about our period, but we also really need to. So open up the forum. When we’re on our periods, and you call us, ask us “How are you feeling?” Don’t ask “’Sup?” or “What are you up to?” Ask “How are you feeling?”

And, finally, give us a break

You know how when you didn’t get that promotion or your football team lost, you were grumpy for a while? We didn’t say you were overreacting. We realized you were going through something, and we took your bad moods in stride. You owe us that now. Don’t look at us like we’re crazy or evil if we lash out. Trust us, we don’t mean it.
