Wondering why your girlfriend is fighting over the color of your shirt or throwing tantrums on every small thing. Just don’t worry its just the hard time of the month which is called PMS. Women can be irritable when they have their periods. Then again, would you be happy if you spent five days feeling like you've been kicked in the stomach?

Don't be afraid of your girlfriend’s menstrual cycle. Really, it's just a time of the month that you can use to make her love you more. Boyfriends who run the other way every time a girl is on her period come across as insensitive and immature. Be sweet during this time of the month; the relationship will form a stronger bond because of it.

Below are few tips that can help you to deal with your girlfriend difficult phase:

Never guess that a girl is in this situation unless you are completely sure, as it is extremely offensive. Even though some men may be sensitive at 'that time of the month', the broad insight that women have is that men can't actually understand what a woman goes through during menstruation, given that they do not experience it. To assume that a girl is having PMS, without being told, is arrogant, awkward, enveloping, and offensive.

Fetch some info on how a woman's body, ovulation and menstruation cycle, and hormones function and fluctuate. If you don't know the exact reasons for its existence, you may never understand why her emotional shifts occur. This will leave you feeling like your girlfriend is treating you like a doormat for no or close to no reason and might take a toll on your relationship.

Understand that you cannot change the circumstances no matter what you do. Realize also that mood swings in girls in this situation are not necessarily under their control. Knowing this, and understanding that it will happen one way or another is your best strategy.

Find out what her usual pattern is, i.e. is she usually in pain/depressed/tired? Is her libido strong or practically non-existent? Try to adapt to these patterns. If her libido lessens during that time, don't act pushy. It will depress or anger her that she is disappointing you. If she has a strong libido, don't stay away from her just because it's "that time of the month". Figure something out that does not make either of you feel rejected or obligated.

Don't provoke her. Easier said than done, but avoid piquing her annoyance as much as possible. It's also better to avoid asking too many questions. Questions are normal, but don't overwhelm her with pointless questions. She may feel pushed or entrusted. Save these for another part of the menstruation cycle Do something thoughtful for her. If possible avoid getting something in return: this will prove to her that you want her to be happy, and it's not that you want something from her.

Prepare for extreme reactions, in both directions. If you're nice to her to make her feel good, she may cry tears of joy over some flowers or you doing her dishes. Don't let it freak you out. Hug her (carefully, this is not the time for rib-cracking squeezes), give her a kiss and hand her a tissue. She'll love you for it. Comfort yourself with an understanding that she is not enjoying her period and treat her with tenderness, but with a quiet strength. Your girlfriend will react well to your self assurance.
