The Guy's Remedy to PMS

Guys, better start praying when it's that time of the month!

One thing about being a woman that I super hate is having MONTHLY emotional outbursts because of this natural phenomenon called the Pre-Menstrual Syndrome. More popularly (or infamously) known as PMS.

Why do I say PMS is infamous? I’ll explain to you why…

I’m sure all the ladies understand what I am talking about. But for the guys out there, who obviously do not go through this natural phenomenon this is what PMS feels like: It’s being on a MEGA DOSE of emotion steroids. On top of the unnatural physical manifestations like the jackhammers ramming on your temples, the bottomless insatiable appetites, the body bending stomach AND boob cramps, the list goes on…This monthly overdose of hormones just takes us ladies on a CRAZY roller coaster ride.

Because of this, I’ve been having an emotional spat with Dodong for the past week. Ever since, I feel that he has been neglecting me because he has not been answering my daily email journals for the past 10 days and not having the time to properly chat with me. I’ve had crying fits in the middle of the day, feeling all ignored and unimportant. I’ve had spontaneous bouts of loneliness even if I’m swamped with things to do…important things to do at that.

So last night AND this morning, I was having another hissy fit. Barraging Dodong with a heavy artillery of feeling after feeling after feeling after feeling…

“I make an effort to make my daily journals even if I’m tired and busy…”

“How come you have time to play Mafia Wars on Facebook?”

“Maybe I’m not as important to you.”

“I’ve been begging you to give me attention for the past days.”

“I won’t make any more journals until you reply to ALL my entries.”

“I’m tired…”

“I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY miss you…”

Too much heavy drama for a little guy’s heart right?

But the funny thing was, after my very ugly whole evening and early morning emotional attack (and almost emotional blackmail!), Dodong manages to say these 3 lines:

“I miss you too.

I love you.

Nothing changes.”

DAMN. Even if I practically did a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde back there, he still loves me.

All guys need to do is to simply say the right things (that he still loves you anyway) and the mega charged PMS emotions just disappear…like magic.

How can you just not melt right? SIGH.

Love the distance,

Inday I. Nagintay

P.S. I just checked my inbox and FINALLY saw 10 days worth of replies to my daily journals. Happy!
