I've come to realize that a lot of the major fights me and my girlfriend of 3 years have had stemmed from her being on her period, I don't know why I didn't see this sooner, these fights don't occur frequently so the time between them makes me forget the details of the last one but when I think back I can distinctly remember after making up and apologizing she will say something along the lines of her realizing she is on her period which she believes is a strong contributor to the the fight.

The problem here is that I usually am not aware she is "pms'ing" so to me she just looks fucking insane and i'm confused out of my mind with how she manages to flip something small into an argument.

I'm looking for advice for dealing with this as I feel like it's the one thing I don't like about my girlfriend, she is near perfect the rest of the month and we get along fine. I cant sympathize so it makes it hard for me to understand what she's going through and I will often get defensive when she blows up out of nowhere, she acts irrationally, depressed and will cry at the drop of a hat. She will often apologize profusely after we make up and I forgive her but it is very draining sometimes and can ruin an entire day which otherwise could have been spent relaxing. I fear over time I will grow to resent her because of this.
