I feel terrible, guys. I am PMSing and I have never felt this bad. I have cried for almost 24 hours straight. I have nothing in particular to cry about. But I can't stop. I can't find any reason for it.
I'm supposed to go ring shopping with my fiance tomorrow but we had a big blowout last night and now I feel terrible--even worse than I did before. It was over something stupid and I think we realize that now but there is something so terrible about fighting like that with someone you love. We have had a mostly good relationship for 4 years, and I love him, but today I wish he'd just go into a cave and not come out for awhile. We made up and everything last night, but it still kind of lingers. Please someone tell me that this is normal.
Maybe I DO have something to cry about.
I'm at work right now. I really shouldn't cry.
I might hide under my desk and not come out til the office closes. :-(

Normal? I'd say so.
It's sad, but those type fights are usually with the ones we love most - the ones we feel comfortable enough around to let go on. Could you imagine that type of thing with a casual friend? Me either.
And of course, because that is the person we love most, the guilt afterwards - or feeling of unresolved business - lingers.
It doesn't really matter who or what started it either. It takes two.
Stop on the way home and buy him a rose. It will help show that you really want the fight to be over.

Thanks Auntie Mel,
Things feel a little bit better now. My hormones have calmed down a bit and I think this fight has blown over. I could keep thinking of reasons to be mad but I'm trying not to, and trying to remember that grace covers a multitude of sins. But boy are you correct when you say that it hurts the most to fight with someone you love so much. Maybe cause they know all the right buttons to push and vice versa.

It's totally normal! Horrible, but normal.
I've just started having periods again after the birth of my third child. My second and third children are quite close together, so I haven't had periods for nearly three years. And when the periods came back the PMS came back. I'd forgotten how horrible it can be.
In my case, I know I'm being completely irrational but I just can't seem to make it stop.
How did the ring shopping go?
