Serious question. How did you survive menopause with your marriage intact?

I just got screamed at for trying to fix it.

I’m about done with this bull5hit.

In a way, I’m on the other side of this. I’m dealing with constant arthritis pain. Im frustrated that I can’t do the things I used to do and it makes me short tempered in a way that is hard for me to control. I am so frustrated and pissed off about being old that, God help me, sometimes I take it out on Vicki. Blowing off let’s the pressure off for about .025 seconds and then I feel even worse because not only am I a worn out POS but I was just mean to the one person who loves me anyway. It just makes trying to get through life seem impossible.

I'm simply pointing out that, aside from trying to stay calm, there's little y'all are going to do.

PS, men also change as their hormones decline. Y'all may not realize it since it's more gradual, but old man syndrome is a real thing.

No.

The problem with menopause, for men, is the woman.

Based on this thread, I suggested soy milk. She drinks it and it seems to help.

Sometimes soy isn’t enough.

My wife's sister has been taking hormone replacement therapy for many years. The net result was he died.

Yes an explanation is required. My wife warned her sister HRT can increase the risk of cancer. Well she is still alive age 74 but her man died of stomach cancer last month age 76.

I am a firm believer in why husbands die before their wives.

I am going through this right now with my wife. In the winter she has stood outside in the cold to ease the hot flashes. She says it is perimenopause which is "pre-menopause". Great, thing to look forward to, yay!!!
