Not sure where this post belongs, but I would love to know how many hetero men in relationships have become highly familiar with their woman's cycle? ...and do women find that endearing? weird? I have studied my wife and charts of female hormones and sought to understand my wife's tendencies to the point where she asks me when her period is due. It definitely helps me both anticipate when she might be frisky, and not take it personally when her interest is understandably waning. Of course there is a wide variance in virtually all female emotional activity. My wife just asked me when her next one is due because she was feeling emotional, (I was like, "if its on time, next Thursday but you were short last month") then she commented how odd it is that I know so much about it. But...it helps us, I know it does. Looking forward to feedback...
kinda weird if you ask me lol. I have no idea and don't plan to. My wife's not the type of person you want to be around when its her time if you get my drift ha ha.
That's funny...its less about "that part" and more about how their sexual desire and pleasure peaks around a certain day - which you want to be on top of to give her something truly wonderful - after which it declines for about a week, then may come back just before her period. My wife goes from tigress to wanting to organize the sock drawer and then back during hers. It helps me to have it mapped out because its unlikely anything "special" is happening during the sock drawer part and I used to get offended because of her total lack of interest. Its probably settled...I'm weird.
Hello @WEC I don't think this or you to be weird , personally I would say you are more to be commended for taking time to better understand your wife and the reasoning in her changing moods and emotions , it can only better place you to be more caring and understanding to your wife , and to know when best she is likely to be at her most receptive to your attention , or simply needs her own space and time to herself , I have also kept track of my partners monthly dates for just these reasons and she has often asked me when a certain time is to be , so not weird in any way far from it
I've been more aware of it in the past than I am now, mainly as she had physical signs that would lead up to it - her breasts became firmer and slightly larger from ovulation onwards for instance, and she like many women would have a mild pain on one side as the egg was released from the ovary and began it's journey. Till about 6 months ago they were very regular, but now....less so, which is usual at our age. So - no. I dont know. A few came 3 weeks apart, and one only 2 weeks, but recently there's been a longer than usual hiatus. Do I think it strange that any man might know when his partners periods are due? I think it more strange that they might not take any interest in it at all. But then, we're all different.
@WEC, just to be clear I didn't mean you were weird, I meant that following her cycle in itself was strange to me. Me and my wife have never been interested in those things together. We are sort of private about those types of things. I guess it just depends on the couple. I know my BIL and SIL share a bathroom together. To me that is extremely strange lol. They do their business when each other is in there. I have always been one who enjoys their privacy in the bathroom. To each their own I guess.
Its a breeze for a few women and hell on earth for some and those around them. It is fair to say that it is generally an important thing to most women,so if its important to my partner why would I not have developed , lets call it, a working knowledge of it its effects and the approximate significant timings. Isn't that what people do?
I totally agree with you. Charting your wives cycle is very important not just for understanding her moods but to keep yourself from getting into trouble. At different times what you say will be taken a different way. I've been doing this for my wife for many years.
That being said, I found out that glancing at the calendar when my wife was being short-tempered was NOT the way to defuse an oncoming argument!
I suppose it makes sense in some ways however I would be very wary about mentioning it if she is in a mood. There is a whole lot of trouble brewing for anyone who would dare to use their knowledge of their partners cycle as a way to explain a short tempered episode lol
Knowledge may beget understanding..... really it may. Any man that thinks he understands all women generally is probably delusional any man that thinks he understands his partner well enough to predict her moods and actions is for all intents and purposes either a dreamer or just plain stupid.
