That Time Of The Month

What (not) to say when your spouse is having "that time of the month":

Bad: Where's my dinner?
Good: What shall I fix for dinner?
Better: Where would you like to go for dinner?
Best: Here, have some chocolate.

Bad: Should you be eating that?
Good: Can I fix you a nice, healthy snack?
Better: Can I fix us a nice, healthy snack?
Best: Here, have some chocolate.

Bad: What did you DO all day?
Good: I hope you didn’t overwork today.
Better: Let me clean up around here.
Best: Here, have some chocolate.

Bad: What are you so upset about?
Bad: What did I do this time?
Bad: Is anything wrong?
Best: Here, have some chocolate.

Always best: When in doubt, don't blurt it out.
