I'm 45 yrs old and I too find this weird. I certainly don't discuss my cycles with anyone other than a close female friend or physician. First of the cycle is uncomfortable and not something that people (that I know) want to brag about. Perhaps your wife has self esteem issues and for some reason this topic validates her. I mean maybe she thinks that this is the only thing that she can tell you to get attention. You didn't say...has she had children? I recommend seeing a professional.

What the heck is there to brag about? If you have cramps or something that's making you feel bad, then yes, you might mention it. Yes, it's a pain. Yes, women must endure it. But, I can't imagine why anyone would want to discuss something that half of the human population does with no effort on their part at all.

Well, I guess it just depends. But, most women talk about it because basically it really sucks. And we talk about it because it helps us to know other people are going through the same thing and that we are normal.
Most women do not feel like it is a badge of honor, but, more a curse or cross that they have to bear. And that talking about it helps us to understand more what is happening to our bodies each month. Most women have little differences each month and sometimes it can seem weird, scary or even depressing. Talking about it helps us cope with all of these emotions and physical changes that happen.
Not to mention, that we have one every month, and it gets old.
Just imagine, your penis swelling up, it causes your hips, your back, your nipples to ache and feel sore and sensitive. You have cramps, similar to when you have really bad diarrhea cramps, like when you can't hold it any longer or you will, you know, poop your pants. Except when you go to the bathroom, the cramps don't go away, they get worse. And they stick around for days, maybe even a week. And then as if that's not enough, blood is coming out of your penis, and you have to stick little toothpick sized pads up your penis or you have to wear the equivalent of diapers in your underwear until the bleeding stops. Which could be anywhere from 3-7 days and nights. While this is happening to you, you still have to go to work, mow the lawn, do whatever regular activities and responsibilities that you always have to do.
So before you start judging your wife for wanting to talk about it. Maybe you could try empathizing with her. Try to understand what it's like for her. And let me tell you a secret.... When you are understanding, and even supportive about this. When she's off, she will be alot more attentive to your NEEDS. If you know what I mean.
Nothing is sexier, than a man who respects and appreciates his wife and all her ups and downs.
My husband gets me Advil, which helps with the cramping, a heat pad, doesn't let me clean or cook while I'm "on" and pretty much just takes good care of me. Listens to me, doesn't get mad or frustrated with me. He just basically appreciates what I am going through.
And in return, when it's over, let's just say he doesn't have to ask for "attention."
Sometimes, he gets even more than he can handle.
So just keep that in mind next time you decide to be rude or judge her for talking about it.
Your actions determine how she will handle you later.

That's totally unusual. I dread my period. The only time I acutally talk about it, is with my close friends and we talk about how much we hate it and different things we try to make it not so horrible!

Not really.....other than to say...."Could you go get me some Tylenol?"
I hate my period and have since day one. No wonder they call it "The Curse". I can hardly wait for the "change" to come....I will save a fortune on feminine products and meds!

No, I complain profusely. Today it was so bad that I had to go home at lunch. Luckily, my friends sympathized and gave me some aspirin.
