Why is it that women in relationships have so many mood swings? And what is the best way for a man deal with these swings to keep the peace?
I'm not saying that we men don't have our own issues. I know we do.
But I would really like some advice on this issue. Thanks.

because we tend to keep most things that upsets us, inside because as much as we can -- we don't want to spark any petty fights with you guys over small things. so bear with her if something's bothering her. if you sense that you may have done something she didn't like and she's not really talking -- try to explain things with her and give her a back rub -- what do you know? you might get lucky. also when she's in a bad mood, try not to argue with her. because when she's moody -- she'll be ok afterwards. but if you argue with her -- then she's not ok after that ordeal.
and also men are moody and unpredictable as well! this guy i like, he would be so happy one minute, and then dead serious the next! what's up with that?!!!

I am an extremely moody woman, in my marriage as well as in past relationships. I can not speak for every other woman, so this is my own, personal 'why.' I am insecure with men-and my mood swings are a reflection of that. One moment I feel sad because I think I'm not good enough, and then five minutes later I'm angry, because now I think I'm not pretty enough. My moods are constantly changing because of my insecurities and the current situation I happen to be in at that moment.
For me, the best way for a man to keep the peace is reasurrance. Sadly, I seem to never get this. And it's not my husband's fault; the poor guy doesn't have a crystal ball nor can he read my mind. I just wish that when I get moody, he would tell me, "Everything is going to be alright, Baby. Don't worry, I'm here." That would be so comforting to hear. I wouldn't need anything else. I hope this helps, but this is just my own personal dilema.

the best thing you can do with a woman in most cases is just to ignore her
the only exception to the rule is if she's on some tirade about how you never give her any affection, are never romantic, don't do little things for her, etc.
the best course of action in those circumstances would be to apologize upfront and then 2 days later buy her a little something, cook her dinner, or do something that she's complaining about
all other mood swings are best dealt with by leaving her alone and giving space

OH you hit a good one. Women are emotional creatures. Contrary to many women who say you just give in and let them demolish you and your caracter, I strongly disagree. Yes women are wired that way, yes PMS is real and creates havoc on a women's hormones but never is that a valid excuse to take it out on the man in your life.
When she starts acting up, be sympathetic to her, hug, listen and supportive to her and most of all just nod and keep your trap shut but be clear. when she has her next one that she acts out her moods on you for no reason and bites your head off, give her space and find something of other interest to do until she appologizes. She won't like it one bit the first few times but will eventually take ownership of her moods!

Hmmm...ok, repeat after me: Yes - Ma'am. That's all you have to say. At different times womens hormones go ballistic. Sorry about that but it's the way we are wired. There was an elderly couple that had been married for 50 years and someone asked the husband how they did it. He said, "in every argument, I always get the last word. Yes - Ma'am."

The only time I have mood swings is around "that time of month" and at that point, my husband knows horns are going to come out of my head at random moments.....just don't hold it against her, don't fight with her, just let her be by herself when she's like that and explain why afterwards.

Ignore her. Mood swings are never personal.

Just be yourself and it depends on the person you have to understand what typ of person they are and if they want the extra attention or want to be left alone.
