Well I think it's my husbands time of the month again. Once a month he has 2 or 3 days where is is mad at everyone and grumpy for no reason. Yells at me that he is not mad it's me. I'm still lying in bed trying to avoid him. I can tell because usually he is the romantic touchy feely person in the relationship and he didn't kiss me good night last night. That's how I can tell he is going to be grumpy today. I got out of bed to go to the living room for a few minutes. He had his back to me, refused to turn around and say anything.
Ok I don't mind if you want to be pissed at the world. Just don't yell at me and tell me I'm the one in the bad mood. That drives me crazy.
In for an interesting day.

All I can say - time to go shopping. Luckily, if my husband is in a grumpy mood on the weekends, he will just sleep in. So, I let him sleep in. If he comes home grumpy, he just likes to read a good book or go on the computer, so I just leave him be. I have crafts I can do or I go out shopping. We have learned to give each other space.
So, perhaps suggest to your husband - 'be grumpy if you want and I will give you lots of space for you to be grumpy in.' And then, go shopping! :)

I have read somewhere that men also suffer of mood swings like every women during monthly period.
So it could be the reason why your hubby is acting that way

I understand, my husband has had a week of acting like this!! It is driving me crazy. I told him last night I wish he slept at work. Lol.
I know why he's in a bad mood and hates the world. He has been working and not getting paid until the job is done. So he has not gotten a check in a week and a half so we are struggling with food and everything right now. So I know why he is mad, but I sure as heck did not do it and don't deserve to be yelled at about it!
Hopefully he will finish this stupid job soon so he can get paid and act normal again!

Oh, I have the same kind of thing with my boyfriend. But in his case, he acts like that when someone got on his nerves... then... it's not like he's angry with me personbally, but has a grumpy attitude overall... I learnt how to deal with it :P.

You don't need to take that crap. Tell him what you told us. I have my period now, and make sure I'm careful not to get pizzed off at someone when they don't deserve it. Just tell him that crap isn't gonna fly with you.

Oh that sux! Have you mentioned this to your Dr at all? No I'm not saying it's you but to your Dr about HIM! It sounds like he's the sort that's in denial that he gets into those modes to the point he doesn't realize it. Sounds like a male form of PMS for sure!

Men will never admit to it but they get their time of the month too, it's just different from when women get it. There just seems to be a certain time of the month where men are in a bad mood for no apparent reason. It's like you said, they are mad at the world & since they can't exactly take it out n the world they take it out on their family or friends. More times then not though it is usually the wife who bares the brunt of it all.
