Today i woke up and called her but she wasn't picking up so I kept calling then she finally answered and she was mad because she thought I was talking to another girl because I called her late. Now she thinks I'm cheating on her when I know I'm not she only gets like this during her period and it's hard to deal with cause she gets mad at me and assumes easily. How do I tell her the truth?

I know they mean well, but their opinion is not one I share.Given the cramps, back aches and the strain of constant vigilance in avoiding blood stains, a certain amount of irritability is understandable. However menstruation is not a free pass to lash out at others. The same rules of etiquette still apply. Your girlfriend isn't going through anything the rest of us don't experience once a month.Women can't have it both ways. They can't claim to be as logical and rational as men AND prone to emotional meltdowns every month.And it is not a boyfriend's job to be a whipping post.The next time your girlfriend accuses you of seeing other girls, do not take the bait. Calmy and quietly tell her to call you when she's in a better mood. And whatever you do stop protesting your innocence. It just makes you look weak and guilty.Problem Solved

Maybe her Mum can take her to a naturopath and look at making some diet changes, this has an impact on pmt.

 If she only behaves like this around her period well then yes I guess it is PMT. I guess the only thing that you can do is reassure her that you are not talking to other girls and just keep reassuring her. However when she is not PMTing you should talk to her and explain to her that it is not fair on you to keep getting accused of things like this and tell her she needs to start showing her trust in you.
