I’m struggling to support her and myself

My partner and I have been together just over a year now. We have had many break ups.

Some months no breakups. The breakups are entirely her breaking up with me and me trying to resolve the matter and understand.

I have not once broken up with her, nor want to. I want to support her. Through this journey I have made many mistakes before coming and joining groups. This is my first time reaching out.

I have spent time researching pmdd over the months.

A little information that I have tracked. It appears that the struggles or storms she experiences are during, towards the end or after the cycle. It usually lasts until about a week or a few more days of her isolating/ghosting after the argument. Then out of nowhere, out of the blue, she will reach out, to hang out. She behaves as if the scenario didn’t happen. We are happy and laughing and joking.

I haven’t brought it up during the better times, out of fear of causing stress for her or myself. Lately these experiences have been more frequent and things seem worse. Also note # she is in her 40s and may be perimenopause, along with other mental health issues.
