What are the best videos/articles to figure out to survive GF's period?

[DocumentationTreasury]

Don't know what to do. I don't understand how the convo goes south and emotional so quickly. I say a sentence and then realize too late she felt it was hurtful or implied something I hadn't thought of. Or she will tell me go to away and then be upset that I did not give her a hug before I left the room. Constantly confused, trying to figure out how to read the situations better and figure out what to do

Help!

Current plan for the future:
1) ask her more frequently when her period was
2) hide in another room more often around this time
3) I will talk less around this time and hug more
4) Overall right now I feel like I have to run away during these periods, I don't know how to mentally navigate the conversations around her period, I am trying to figure out how to double check my sentences/figure out the emotional interpretations of them before I say them

And overall I cannot tell when she wants a hug and will be upset if I don't read this correctly. Maybe I should just spam hugging if there is any moment of silence? Or maybe spam "want a hug?"

A suggestion she gave from a video (which she told me about) is that one family tried marking the days on the calendar near the woman's period so everyone knew when to be careful but how often should I ask if she is on a period and how many days on the calendar do I mark to be careful?

How long is the time frame usually, how do I figure out the start and end days of it each time?

Some girls get extra horny on their periods, that's me lol. Sometimes we want hugs/gentle cuddles/more tender shows of affection. Getting periods is a love/hate thing, the hate is for obvious reasons and the love is more nuanced-you feel more vulnerable and feminine during those times, it's weird to explain. Plus extra emotional. I'm on mine rn and sometimes tears and laughter flow more quickly if you get my gist. I also would never get on birth control to prevent my periods because they are something uniquely woman and its like a vulnerable secret during that time of the month, also its a sign of health. When the body is properly nourished a period is just natural to get.

Hope OP solved his problem as it was posted a yr ago

I've got a very emotional GF. Imagine "that time of the month" but everyday.

You know how I handle it? Solid frame, holding space and leading.

Solid frame is about knowing clearly what you want, stand for, tolerate, your direction in life, your values, the direction you want for the relationship, etc. The more clearly you know these things, the less flip flopping you do, and the more "solid" you become. It prevents you from getting caught up in her emotional state or her frame.

Holding space is about being able to be present in the moment with someone else's emotions. If she starts crying or some other emotional outburst, do you get caught up in it? Or are you a ROCK, and hold that space for that storm to rage and then calm.

Good leadership is not just about directing and having people follow. It's about paying attention to your follower, understanding your follower, having your follower trust that you will keep them and their interests in mind, and guiding the both of you to a mutually desired place.

I'm not phased at all by her emotions because of this.

Had a two year old relationship, she was great. Always glad to see me, paid for stuff sometimes, bedroom gymnastics was glorious. I had to tell her that once a month you treat me like dog sht, and to call me next week when you resurface because I don't know you.

After a while of me not coddling her and often being "gone" during these times she actually made an effort to understand how bogus it was of her. After that I simply refrained from teasing her and doing anything annoying. It worked 80%.

Can agree with Wick. Just always held the same expectations and stances. I was dealing with a girl that was more of a "get sad" from her period, but still need to be a rock to an extant to support the extra emotions.
