could pmdd be an underlying cause for the destruction of a marriage? my wife told me about 3 weeks ago that she does not think she loves me anymore, that we are not compatible. out of the blue for me. i know that i am a guy and we can be oblivious to these sort of things. we have, through counseling and reading began to understand together some real problems in our marriage i.e. communication, wants and needs , and so-on. correctable things. my wife has been diagnosed with pmdd for about a year now. she is unable to take bc or hormone therapy due to a blood clotting disorder. i recently started researching pmdd to try and better understand the disorder. i have read over and over the constant destruction of relationships. i need advice on what i can do to help her. we still have a great loving reltionship despite her feeling out of love. she is going to talk w/ our counselor this week re; pmdd and see her ob/gyn. all advice is appreciated.

It sounds like you are an understanding person and sincerely in search for answers for your wife. I am sure your efforts will pay off. I would highly recommend that she take Women's Immortale from Roex. I suggested this to a few other people on this site as well. Women's Immortale will help regulate the hormones and it is an all-natural product with no harmful side effects. It contains wild yam and cayenne which will help alleviate her symptoms. You can purchase it through Roex.com. The other thing is that she may want to try some sublingual tablets of B-12 and B-6. Calcium is great for calming and easing pain and frustration. One can't blame her for feeling out of love. Her body is not well and it needs help to ensure that her thoughts are rational and well-thought out ones. The other thing I can recommend is primrose oil. Hopefully some of these things help. Immortale for Women is a definite must, though. Roex has nutritionists as well that you can call and talk to. Good luck, and I hope you wife starts to feel better soon. It is no fun having hormonal issues and I am sure she doesn't feel happy with what her body and mind is going through.

Dear floundering, 2 weeks prior to my period my pms is so bad that each time I want to break up with my bf, think of any reason to hurt him so he won't want to be with me beacuse I feel at that time that he is too good for me. However I have agreed with myself that I won't mae any major decision until after my period. Usually aftre I get my period I feel so great that I know I love my bf and he loves me back that we would noT want to break up at all. Its hard to understand even myself. Hang in there.

Mirando had made a good point: to not make any major decisions before the period comes. Maybe suggest to your wife that she note her feelings for you premenstrual and post?

I truly admire your determination to solve this issue. In my life experience women very often say things that they don't mean during pms, and sometimes they can hurt deeply. I find a little help from "Star Flower Oil" which is a bit stronger then evening primrose. I also use a few drops of Bach Rescue remedy. Nothing great but every little helps.

when i go through my pms/pmdd bouts, i get such irrational thoughts and think about ending my relationship with my boyfriend for absolutely no reason!! i just have to calm myself down and tell myself that its really just my hormones talking, because it is. pmdd is so confusing in the sense that such irrational thoughts come out of your mind. try to re-assure her that making huge decisions during the time where she is going through her pmdd is not a good idea. you seem like you're very understanding, all you can do is be there for her and understand that pmdd literally turns you into a completely different person. good luck!

Please try to understand her. She is suffering terribly. It is so frustrating and hopeless when you cannot get relief. This is so hard to deal with. I've been on the verge of divorce many times because of this terribly debilitating problem. My advice is to have her ask her ob/gyn for a Rx for celexa to try. All I can say is that I have been on it for 2 months and my husband and I haven't argued since. That's got to mean something. We also went to counseling because we could barely get through a sentence without arguing. I now realize that much of it must be related to my severe pms/pmdd. It's worth a try. Hang in there and just be there for her and try to understand (even if you can't) what she is going through. It's so hard. I admire you for researching this subject. More men should do that. Good luck!
