Those Damn Hormones!


I'll never fully grasp how hormones affect people (men taking estrogen for prostate problems go through the same thing). Wife's period is over. She has been very nice to me. It is almost disconcerting. How do I react? She even made a pass at me this morning. I, being the weak schmuck that I am, accepted. So, we ended up doing a quickie before I left for work. Today at lunch she was very attentive and pleasing.

Question: can hormones do that much to a person? Can a person go from being bitchy to sweet at, basically, the flip of a switch? Are hormones this powerful? If so, how do I combat the effects? Do I steer clear until the hurricane flags are taken down? Do I confront the raging storm? Is there any hope? Maybe, I need to mark my calender and try to be as quiet as a church mouse.

As you can see, everything is peachy. No, nothing has been resolved, but I never thought it would be. I guess the best I can hope for is status quo Posted by Picasa

You have described our situation to the T. I get Wife for ~2 weeks. The week prior is the week from Hell. The week of is, just as you said, weepy. Afterwards, I am left dazed and confused. I've tried to broach the subject, but how do you ask without becomeing condescending? Also, she tends to get very defensive and in doing so, goes on the offense.

Like a lot of husbands, I'll probably learn to "batten down the hatches" for those weeks.

Sybil is that you?
