WOW. It is time to share with you my journey into the PMS files. My on-going travels into the sometimes murky, sometimes choppy, most times VERY choppy, sometimes downright dangerous waters in the seas that surround the PMS (Pre-Menstrual Syndrome).
Here I am in an amazing relationship with an absolutely amazing woman - and it is PMS WEEK. Yes, you heard me correctly, it is PMS week. If you are a man and you have ever had a steady or long term relationship with a woman, you have probably just rolled your eyes when she says she has PMS. Some of you may have probably felt a shiver roll down your back, breaking out into a cold sweat. Some of you may even feel some sympathy for me right now.
Recently my lady and I were watching SHARK WEEK on TV and it hit me, holy shit, SHARK WEEK is just like PMS week. It is friggen dangerous and unpredictable and it can cause lots of pain, tension, anxiety, tears, sadness and it is something to be afraid of, to be really afraid of!The term that my lady and I have given to her PMS week is SHARK WEEK. I started to think about this week called SHARK WEEK and I thought that I needed to share my experiences and insights with ALL men who are in a relationship with a woman, and who ever want to get into a relationship with a woman. I have been journaling about all of the happenings that occur during this week preceding my woman's period.
In case you think I am insane, in case you think I have lost my mind, in case you think I am writing about a subject that could get me maimed or disfigured by my lovely woman (BTW, her name is Michaela) you can breath a sigh of relief for me, I ALREADY GOT HER PERMISSION TO write about our wild and wooly adventures during this most unpredictable of weeks.
I am in my early 50's, I am energetic, optimistic and I love the life that I lead. All that has been missing for me in life was the connection to an amazing woman. I have to say that Michaela is the first woman in my life that I have such a connection to. From our first conversation, I was hooked. I knew that she is the one woman who has the same goals desires, values, work ethic, ambitions as I do. She is optimistic, upbeat and of course, I find her to be very HOT to look at - and she is even HOTTER to hold - YAYY FOR ME. We spend every minute of every hour of every day that we can together. We actually joke with each other that we should spend more time together. I love our conversations, our walks together, our time watching E- News, or the Kardashians. I love when we cook together and spend time in the kitchen - Michaela has taught me so much about cooking as she puts so much LOVE into her cooking and she just loves to see me eat. With all of these amazing and wonderful attributes and qualities, when we drift into the week that precedes her period - when we drift into SHARK WEEK, ALL BETS are off.
Man oh man, PMS is tough on her, it is tough on me and it is tough on our relationship. I find it so interesting that when I say to Michaela " I think that you look beautiful", she receives those words so differently in the three NON PMS weeks than she does in her PMS week. In the NON PMS weeks, She receives my compliment and she hears the words that I am saying.
In her PMS week, her PMS filter kicks into high gear. I think your beautiful can be the words that lead to tears because she is feeling like a "fat whale". The words, "I think you look beautiful" can lead to an argument because, clearly, in the PMS filtering mind of Shark Week, I am looking for something - probably sex.
Am I the only man out there who makes sure to put away the knives, hide the sharp objects and sleeps with one eye open when it is PMS or SHARK WEEK ?I will continue to chronicle my experiences and thoughts around this, ever so delicate subject of PMS.
