No boyfriend in this world can deny facing the universally approved ‘Emotional Trauma’ that particularly indicates that your lady is on her periods. She can go all happy, cranky, sad or she may go mad at you for no reason at all. To be truthful, it is definitely not her fault. This is that specific duration when her uterus goes crazy just because the egg it released was left unfertilized and it finally decides to take its revenge!
Here are some of the basic steps that will help you control your girl when she’s on her periods.
1. Get this fact right in your brain for rest of the life.
When she is menstruating, she will undergo a lot of body changes and mood swings. It is not her who is freaking out at the very next moment, her hormones are. Let her eat and rest.
2. Say no to surprises.
Who knows when the situation can turn worse than expected? Afterall, Prevention is better than cure. She’s definitely gonna react according to her mood and that is something you really can’t be sure of. She can be anxious, she can be depressed or she may be agitated. Keep your ideas on a hold for this duration.
3. Keep her favourite food ready.
She needs to eat when she’s down. It can be quite typical for her to control cravings for her favourite snacks. After all, she may feel exhausted after losing blood from her body. And make sure that you don’t ever look or point over the amount of food she’s eating. This is one of the most important basic steps you need to follow.
4. Keep some painkillers handy or be ready to run down to the nearest pharmacy.
We all know how badly cramps can freak her out when she’s on her periods. On top of that, abdominal cramps for some women can be worse than you can think of. Although a woman will rarely run out of painkillers but it’s your moral duty to present them whenever needed. For e.g., Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Advil and Paracetamol.
5. Run some errands for her.
Cook her meal, drop down her clothes to laundry, do the dishes or help her with any of daily chores. Give her time for relaxation. Let her leave the control over any of the pending work for these days. Try taking over the basic steps of her schedule when she’s on her periods.
6. Listen to her.
Along with rest of the things, she needs a pair of ears who have all the time to listen to her, who wouldn’t judge them, who wouldn’t argue with them and who would understand their circumstances. Be that pair and do not try to control her views. Though listening can be way too typical but you need to do that. And yes, don’t just give your worst reactions on the illogical stuff that she narrates you.
7. Do not force her to socialize.
It can be really typical for her to socialize herself on her periods. Like rest of the days, do not invite your friends for a booze party or movie. Don’t expect her to devote this time to rest of society people. Try spending time with her.
8. Do not mention about Blood, PMS, hormonal changes and precautions.
She obviously knows better than you unless you’re a medical student of the same branch. Don’t just act over smart. Don’t tell her the do’s and the dont’s. Avoid mentioning any particular set of basic rules that will make her feel better. She needs you, not your theory.
9. Keep the hot water bottle ready.
If she gets terrible cramps or back pain, make sure to keep the water bottle handy. Its warmth can be quite soothing and relaxing for her. Hold it for her if she feels like.
10. Make sure that she drinks a lot of water.
It is quite necessary for her to stay hydrated and this can get her little easier on cramps. According to science, water has its own scientific advantages that can help her feel much better.
11. There is no chance of annoying her for no reasons.
Like other days, don’t keep ranting the same issues again and again. Make sure that your lovey-dovey conversation doesn’t end up being an ugly debate. Make sure that you both maintain your calm and handle any kind of issues with care. Don’t turn aggressive at all.
12. Bring her some pretty flowers and Dark chocolates.
One of the basic steps to control your lady is to bring her these gifts. Don’t just act over smart and bring some other things too. Flowers and Chocolates are her best friends. Keep them ready to lighten up her mood and make her feel taken.
13. Kisses and hugs will make it much easier.
Every girl on this earth wants to be pampered and loved. Shower some hugs, kisses and cuddles. Make sure that she feels loved in your company.
Lastly, remember you just cannot control her even after following these basic steps. She may seem aggressive, lunatic or crazy. Keep your calm intact. After all, you cringe at the mention of the process she has to unwantedly go through each month. Respect her, love her, pamper her. Make her feel special!
