is it wrong for a caring guy like myself to want to know what a woman goes through during her period and ways to help her and love her? I am really interested in knowing more what you ladies go through so I can be a better man

You seem really sweet. You should look online for stuff about periods (probably the most informative stuff is geared for teen girls, like the Tampax website). The most important thing to remember is that she may be crabby and you need to be patient. It's because of hormone wackiness, and cramps. She shouldn't get a free pass to be an outright b*tch though.
If she's on her period, just tell her that you love her, and ask her if there's anything you can do. If she wants to cuddle, be there for her, but also understand she might not want to be touched if she's in pain. If you guys are sexually active and she doesn't want to have sex for a week out of the month, let it go no questions asked. She might have cravings for things like chocolate or salty snacks, so if you want to oblige that would probably help her out :-) Perhaps you can make excuses to go to the store and ask her if she wants "anything." If she asks you to pick up some "aspirin," you could get her a few different kinds of pain pills including Midol, and tell her "I just got a bunch of different ones, just in case." Don't let on that you think she's on her period, unless she tells you. Don't be a dolt and bring it up all the time, like "oh, you have cramps because you're on your PERIOD? are you eating that chocolate because of your period?" She probably doesn't like to be reminded :-p However, you can let her know that she is free to talk about it with you, because you love her and want to know as much as possible about what she's going through.
Best of luck! I hope she appreciates you :)

Sometimes we are moody. We crave certain foods. Sometimes we want to be held, but no sex. Sometimes we cannot stand for you to touch us. Sometimes we just need to sleep. Sometimes there is pain. We pretty much all hate that time. But the alternative (being pregnant or going through menopause) seems worse.
Gratefully, you don't have to be a mind reader. You can just ask her directly what you can do for her. And often times the gynecologist may know some alternatives to just living with it. She should ask.
You are wonderful; she is lucky!

There is nothing wrong with that. If you want to understand the physical process of menstruation period, read this article:

But when it comes to mental and emotional changes, you are on your own. The best thing to do is to ask her when she is in a good mood, because everyone of us is different!

No, I don't think it's wrong but it's a very hard thing to explain. But definitely don't ask while she is on it. Good luck!
