I have pretty bad PMS. There is plenty of research out there to indicate that it certainly is real. I never experienced it at all until I went on birth control, now it's a monthly horror :/ I wish I didn't have it! (I'm trying different birth control pills in order to lessen it) So, certainly I wouldn't make it up in order to feel sad for a week.
I think you just need to show your bf the research out there and explain to him that you aren't making that up. Also, he really should trust you and not just think you'd lie about something like that in order to be mean for a week :/ I realize a lot of people have misconceptions, but it's time for him to grow up and understand hormonal changes. That's not a woman being mean, that's science.
My SO is very understanding about it, and does whatever he can to make me feel better. However, he's well educated about women's health issues as well.
