Ok, I understand your frustration. Understand that just as much I you love him , he loves you the same. First of all, get to know the person you are with. From there, I believe one of the way to help him understand what you are going through is to communicate everything with him. As a man, myself, I used to find it hard when my girlfriend just lashed out at me not even knowing why, it used to drive me crab until I started doing research on PCOS. I learned that one of the symptoms of PCOS was mood swings. Even my girlfriend didn't know about it until the discovery. We talked about it. Then we realized the best way to overcome her mood swings was to communicate everything that she is thinking about. My job is to be more receptive to her complaints. That doesn't mean the problem had been resolved. But, it's a start. With practice, patience and lots of love long term both of you can overcome the situation. Good luck
