menstruation meanness

Post Reply New Topic

For the first time in my life I'm dealing with a woman who I know to be mean when having her period.

She was nasty tonight.

My question is how long do I wait till I assume it's over and when it is how the hell do I go on interacting with her without chewing her out for how horrible she was?

Use "Aspie Directness" on her and see how effective it is.

Maybe she'll be embarrassed and apologise for her behaviour. It will be pretty easy to move on then (just accept the apology if you want to and put the nastiness behind you). If she doesn't apologise, I don't know. You can try and be understanding if you want but if she was very mean or hurtful then you don't have to, period or no period. That said if she is particularly emotional right now, then she might be more sensitive or upset when confronted, so maybe leave it a couple of days.

Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with telling her that what she said or did was hurtful. Maybe in 2 or 3 days time.

It's a weird sort of irritated rage. It's hard to explain. You get really, really physically hot. Your temperature is uncontrollable. Then your heart starts pounding and the anger rises and rises.

Even stupid things are just infuriating when I'm like that, but it's not a free pass to be unkind and mean and I do try and keep myself in check.
