How do you deal with women that have PMS?

My wife gets majorly angry or moody or critical roughly once a month, before her period. Sometimes she tries to needle me by making pointed statements, anticipating a strong response that leads to an argument. Sometimes it just comes from out of the blue, when I've done nothing to agitate her. It's beginning to annoy the hell out of me but she claims she does not know what comes over her during that period. I always use to think of PMS as some sort of caricature of women but it's a fucking serious problem. How do most guys deal with this?

Seriously, I've just now realized that this is PMS. All this time I thought we had a problem in our relationship but it happens periodically.

See if a local hotel can give you a good rate if you rent a room every 3 weeks for a week.

Last time I left for a couple of hours to clear my head she accused me of cheating and used Google to track me down. Should guys just accept this and let them vent? It's the only answer I can think of at this moment.

Don't look her directly in the eye and make sure to answer every question she has with YES.

I never wanted to be THAT GUY but I think I've lost this war. There is no reasoning with a woman with PMS. No logic enters or leaves it. It's really amazing. Like arguing with a wall or mountain.

My wife is trying to domesticate me. Trying to turn me into a housecat.

I can get moody from the meds I'm on. I think I understand a little what PMS feels can be like (maybe not...). My wife just does her best to deal with me and usually manages to not make it worse. My advice would be to be patient and not do anything to escalate her mood. While it seems pretty lame to say just live with it, it is worse for her. Uncontrollable mood swings are not fun. Luckily my wife doesn't really have PMS much. I can only imagine how terrible it would be if we were both moody at the same time.
 
This is why you need a garage filled with tools. "Honey, I'm going to be working on building a special gift for you in the garage. I'll be busy for all my spare time for the next 5 or 6 days." A week later, emerge from the garage with a square block of wood. "See, it's a coaster for hot pots, so you don't have to set them on the counter."
 
My exGF had bad PMS. Not the bitchy stuff, just very painful periods. I felt really bad for her because there was nothing I could do to help her.

Haha wow I can't remember the last time I audibly laughed from a Dr. Pizza post. My lady just called me a dork from the other room. No coaster for her!
 
OP, have you ever stopped to think that maybe it isn't "PMS" that is making her moody and angry? Have you considered the possibility that she just hates you and feels stuck?

Nah. That's just you projecting your feelings for me via the OP. I know my wife more than anyone else and we have had these nasty, useless fights right before her period over the past couple of months. Astonishingly, the fights went away during the summer when we used to ride the Citibikes frequently. During that time her periods were far less painful. But, because it's gotten cold and we don't ride anymore, she has gotten the PMS and her periods are painful. I think exercise helps her period and makes her less agitated right before her period. but she is too lazy/tired to go to a gym after work.

Reduction in the frequency of riding Citibikes is definitely a more plausible explanation for a sudden increase of fighting and lack of motivation to exercise. I apologize for suggesting otherwise.
 
I do little acts of kindness and make her fave breakfast and try to let her have some extra space.

Seriously every woman is different but for my wife greasy food makes her bearable...

also leave little chocolates around the house though I had to stop that now that she has late onset stage one diabetes.


DO NOT START A STUPID FIGHT

Could you explain why this is plausible? I'd ask her but she does not want to think about them. She just says "I don't know."
 
Orgasm helps quite a lot; however they are usually not too receptive to the suggestion during PMS.

Instead, just surprise her (*before* PMS strikes) with a Hitachi Magic Wand Massager with a Variable Speed Controller.
Seriously, it's money well-spent.
