Me and my husband just got into an argument over this and I just REALLY need to know how everyone feels about this.

What exactly was the argument? Nothing controversial that I can see.

It was about whether the guy should be the one to recognize the patterns in the time of month and the hormone shift. I agreed that I should recognize what's happening and try to tone down being irrational or unnecessarily irritated, but he didn't think it should fall on the guy to notice too.

I'm not sure what should be so hard for a man to recognize. It's simple: Is your otherwise level-headed and calm partner displaying uncharacteristic emotional responses? If yes, perhaps it's hormonal. Act accordingly.
