How do you survive when your girl is on her period?

Every few weeks I get the massive period message about how the relationship feels one sided, and she doesn’t feel like she gets enough love (no matter how hard work) How do you survive during this time?

Edit: Thank you all for the comments, I’ve read every single one. To clarify a few things

  1. She is diagnosed with depression, goes to therapy, and is on antidepressants. To everyone who said as much, congratulations, you were right.

  2. I do my best to be as good of a boyfriend as I can. I buy her gifts, take her out to get breakfast, tell her I love her every night. I even brought donuts over for her and her family the same day. She acknowledges I’m amazing in person, and wants that same level of attention and affection online.

  3. I don’t dismiss her when this happens. We call, and I listen. I do my best to change my behavior, snapping with her whenever I can, randomly sending an I love you message, giving compliments on her outfits.

My initial response reading your title was snacks she likes, lots of cuddles, giving space when needed, and doing what you can to make sure she has essential related supplies stocked in every bathroom/to go. That's been working 10 years ongoing for me and previous relationships.

After reading the description, I'm sure I can't add much that hasn't already been said, but I will anyway. Please take care of your mental health from dealing with her so you also don't take it out on others. It looks like you're trying to be helpful, and therapy for both of you may help if you feel it's worth trying to understand/fix your relationship.

Personally, I'm too old to deal with shit like that. I tried when I was younger and had people try to hurt me. If it is meant to be, you will be able to communicate, share, and spend hours with your partner that will seem like minutes even years later.

Sorry you are experiencing problems, Op.
