OMG thats how i am :)... i actually tell him just deal with it cuz its that time of the month :Dhe is great abt it too :D
anyways i think u shld bring it up randomly (stuff abt kids and things) there is nothing wrong with that. and tell him that ur not fasting...if he ask "why not' just say u cant...he will understand and that will be a start for being a little more open.
lol....maybe its a pakistani culture thing....but mine didnt even know wht the monthly cycle was...i was soo shocked and speechless.....i guess its alot more open overseas...not that we talk about it...but i guess becoz we have health class and tv shows that openly talk about it....but i've visited pakistan and their more modern on certain things but i guess some issues will always remain sensitive.....
Mine yelled at me the first time...lol....i wasnt fasting and he asked me if i had already finished my prayers and i quietly said no and he gave me an 1 hour long lecture about why i didnt pray and my only response was i cant...and he was like yyyyyy? and my cousin in pakistan was just watch us laughing cause she knew i couldnt clearly say out loud for all to hear y i wasnt...lol...it makes me laugh now when i think about it now but than not so much..lol...
now he kinda figures it out when i start crying out of no where and fight for no reason...lol....
