Download MoodSwingsGood period support is usually simple: listen, offer practical help, avoid jokes that dismiss her, and ask what kind of support feels good.
Ask instead of assuming
Try asking whether they want comfort, space, food, chores handled, or just a quieter evening.
Avoid turning it into a diagnosis
Do not use cycle timing as a weapon in an argument. Support works when it is respectful and consent-based.
Use reminders for care, not control
MoodSwings partner mode exists to make supportive timing easier, not to monitor or judge.
