If the husband asks me one more time whether or not I’ve cleaned out the desk drawers, organized the family photos, returned something to Pottery Barn, or if he asks what’s for dinner just so he can tell me he doesn’t want that, or feel the need to remind me that he works all day (even though I’ve been raising a kid all day) I’m gonna …. Actually I don’t know what I’m going to do, but I can’t take it anymore! Man period, is there really such a thing? I think so. Here’s how urban dictionary defines it…
The sole and absolute male counterpart to pms in females. Multiple changes in behaviour(s) at various times in the month is characteristic of this affliction.Symptoms Include:-fear of reality-abrupt irritability-unwillingness to solve problems-inconsiderate, yet expects you to be excessively considerate to his feelings-displays momentary regression back to childish nature(‘little boy syndrome’)-argumentative but totally still wants to sleep with/do you @ the end of the day-onset of inwardness-inconsiderate, yet expects you to be excessively considerate to his feelings-sporadic moments where he cares again, but doesn’t actually mean it-failure to initiate the apology and or admitting wrongfulness-purposely goes out of the way to frustrate others(*See ‘little boy syndrome’ above; ie. If he’s miserable, EVERYONE else has to be)-clearly shows signs of holding onto young man angst(and all things EMO) and behaving like such a little douche bag because of it-the OPPOSITE of helpful
Oh yes, based on that definition, there definitely is such a thing as the man period. I’ve even seen it on the airplane, particularly in business class. And yeah, The Husband is experiencing it right this very moment. As I type. In fact, he’s asked me to stop typing and to get off the damn computer! Man period. It’s for real.
