Both of you need to take one attack at a time (I know it's not easy, believe me I know!) Your mind will want to get ahead of itself and you think I can't take another, I do the samething, but if you can just take care of the one going on and don't get down the road.
My cycle before this cycle lasted a year, rather than the usual 2-3 months, but it did stop and I went yrs before this one.
It's normal for people under stress to snap at one another, but remember neither one of you caused this. Ask her "ahead of time" what she would like you to do or not do, not during an attack. My hubby used to, sometimes still does, want to fix me during an attack...it only made me worst. He had me try all kinds of crazy things of which nothing worked but upset me more which made the whole thing even worst.
I hope I don't sound like I'm preaching here or a know it all, or that I have myself together, cuz I don't! That's for D^)&& sure!
