Boy, either he's very brave or very stupid.
When hubs and I were first dating I had PMS something horrible and he wasn't being particularly sympathetic or understanding so I asked him, very calmly, if he would ever walk into a cave and start poking a sleeping grizzly bear. Of course he said "No, that would be suicide".

Exactly. So don't poke the bear!
We've been together for nearly 10 years now and I'm very lucky that, while my hubs may not really understand PMS, he understands that it's a very real phenomena and that it's always best not to "poke the bear" when I'm suffering like that.
