What if the biggest fights in your PMDD relationship aren’t about love at all, but about invisible rules no one agreed to? We dig into the quiet power of expectations—how they form, why they go unmet, and how to rebuild them so both partners feel seen and safe. From childhood habits of pretending to adult patterns of painting red flags green, we trace how fantasy keeps resentment alive and then replace it with a practical plan for clarity and connection.

I share the season of stepping back from dating, traveling for reflection, and designing a life that actually lights me up. That shift didn’t erase PMDD, but it softened symptoms and cut stress, which changed everything at home. We talk about aligning expectations with who you both truly are—free spirit or homebody, planner or improviser—so you stop negotiating with reality. You’ll learn daily capacity check-ins, how to turn unspoken “ifs” into clear requests, and why mind reading is the fastest route to bitterness.

We also challenge common myths: your partner can’t fix PMDD, emotional consistency won’t be identical every week, and recovery after bleeding isn’t instant. Instead, we build small, sustainable rituals of care and repair: asking what’s needed today, naming limits without shame, and letting intimacy ebb and flow without making it mean rejection. If you’re ready to replace emotional landmines with agreements that hold steady across the cycle, this conversation is your roadmap.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it today, and leave a quick review so more PMDD couples can find these tools. Your words help others feel less alone.
