Period cramps, for most women, are generally the worst within the first day or two of their periods. Instead of running for the hills and leaving her to do her own thing (unless she has explicitly told you to leave her alone during her period, and she means it) why not step up and earn the Super Partner of the Year award by doing these 7 things for her.
7 Great Things To Do When Your Girlfriend Is On Her Period
#1 Don't blame her for her behaviour
It makes her frustrated, probably angry, and then everyone gets tense.
#2 Be patient
She might sound irrational for whatever reason and it may bug you, but relax. Try to understand where she might be coming from instead of brushing her off as “hormonal.”
#3 Her favourite foods
At the end of the day, it’s still a hormonal situation. She’s going to have huge cravings for certain things because that’s the nature of her body chemistry. Bring them to her.
#4 A night out
Suggest a night out for whatever she’d like to do. If you’ve been avoiding that play she’s been excited about, now is a good time. If there’s a movie she won’t stop hinting at, go see it. Whatever it may be, just do it.
#5 Suggest a night in for whatever she’d like to do
Most of the time she might not want to do anything after coming home from work. So, bring her favorite dinner and settle down for games, movies, puzzles — basically whatever strikes her fancy.
#6 Pills like Advil. Or Midol
Most women will probably have something like this already, but in case they don’t, it’s the quickest trip to your local pharmacy.
#7 Be attentive
After speaking with a few friends on the subject, some women want a great deal of company and affection, while others just want to be left the hell alone. Still others want a balance between the two. It’s part of your job to pay attention to those needs and considerations. It’s easy to do and will make you both feel great and more connected.
