Whew! The angst of Restless Week and the drama of Volcano Week are now behind you with the arrival of Relief Week, as once again your partner begins her menstrual cycle.
In the scheme of things, navigating her 4 week mood cycle starts NOW. Here are 3 things that you need to remember, so you can keep moving your relationship forwards.
In the scheme of things, navigating her 4 week mood cycle starts NOW. Here are 3 things that you need to remember, so you can keep moving your relationship forwards.
Tip 1: To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Make sure you make a note in your diary, calendar or phone, that you can expect to see the first signs of Volcano week, in about 18 days from today.
Tip #2: Be gentle and be kind. Don’t start going on about what she did or said in Volcano week. If necessary, the time to process this with your partner is next week, in Love Week, when she’s receptive.
Perhaps you’ve noticed that over the last 2 weeks, your partner’s emotions have been volatile. You might also have noticed that she has been suffering from some physical discomfort. So now, in Relief Week, she needs to rest up and look after herself.

Tip #3: Offer to do something domestic for her: Go to the shops, cook dinner, wash up, bathe the kids and put them to bed. Do something that will lighten her load this week, even if it’s going to be inconvenient or not much fun for you.
When Volcano week comes around again, gestures like this will go a long way in showing her that you are indeed her partner and best friend and not what she may accuse you of being, when she’s under the influence of PMS in Volcano week.
