Irritable girlfriend causing problems, and the lack of sex is driving me mad!

Question - (28 May 2012) 1 Answers - (Newest, 31 May 2012)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've been with my current girlfriend for almost 18 months. Her periods have usually been light to moderate in the mood swings and hormonal roller coaster. But two issues have come up. 1- When she is away and on her period it is a nightmare. Briefly, the situation is I am at school while she is at home for a few weeks and moving back to me soon. While shes at home she is consistently irritable, paranoid, snaps at anything I say, etc. What can I do to avoid the insane snaps and help ease the situation?

The second issue is the amount of sex has decreased significantly overall. Sex during the period is a no-no, mutually agreed, but it's come to the point where it'll be 4+ weeks between sex. We've blamed it on jobs/school but at this point it's unbearable. She's said it was because I'm undesirable when I'm stressed (from my job) which was the main reason. I understand but at the same time I go through very short bouts of stress, maybe 24 hours at a time, then I am fine. So I call bullshit on her logic. As this all of these questions, there are a million different details we can add but from the outside, women, what do you suggest?

A male reader, anonymous, writes (31 May 2012):

Item one, you need to find out why being away causes her to be "difficult". It could be anything from insecurity based on not being with you, to your relationship has run its course and she wants to break up with you. (we don't have much to go on as readers)

Second. She said you are undesirable when stressed? But you go 4+ weeks with out it? Ok her period = 1 week. What is her excuse the other 21 days? I don't like this for you. As someone who really doesn't know your situation better than a two paragraph description, I would say she seems to find more reasons not to be intimate than TO be intimate. Not good.

She is not nice and pissy towards you, she has quit being intimate? That sounds like red flags that things are dwindling down.

Again those are my two cents and only you know if what I said fits your situation. Good luck
