AIBU the three ages of women and their relationships with men?

[IrritatedUser1960]

Puberty: Being fascinated with the opposite sex and being interested in nothing else.

Mid life: Trying to raise a family together and realising eventually that men are bloody useless.

Menopause: Being sick of their shit and wanting to live on your own.

I am convinced of it.

Not all men are bloody useless, maybe you just have shit taste in men.

I don't recognise myself in any of the above stages.

Talk about generalisations OP.

Non of them are true for me. Or rather the first 2 as I still have a young family.

I was never boy obsessed in my teens. All the men i know well arent useless. My dad wasnt, he did loads at home and with us, even though mum only ever worked part time. Dh has a business and works from home so does more than me. Dbro is a sahd and my male friends all do as much as their wives.

Some men are useless. But then plenty of women are too.

Hahahaha! Too true!

I'm not at menopause stage yet but I can kind of agree with the first stage I still had many other interests. Im definitely in the second stage however I do agree with other posters that it's more likely my shite taste in men that's the issue.

No sorry op.

Puberty. Focussing on schoolwork and other interests.
Young womanhood: uni, working, meeting new people, having a ball and then perhaps falling in love.
Planning a future, babies, hard work, working together.
Menopause well I had teenagers but but after that my career took off again. One through uni, everything paid for, everything to look forward to.
But then I have loved my DH a bit more every year for the last 28 years.

Nah, I'm not any of them either.

Although if something happened to DP I'm not sure I'd bother with another relationship. Or at least not live with anyone. I'd just be a cat lady.

Nah. It was all about ponies when I was a teen.

And you are mixing with the wrong men.

Not true for me. But I'm still in mid life.

You haven't convinced me.

No, not my life.

When it comes to sex and libido generalisations are not acceptable IMO

No. It sounds like a very unhealthy men are "other" attitude. What happened in puberty to be interested in nothing else?
Personal ambition etc need to be nurtured.
Perhaps you were raised to expect a (hetero?) Married with kids lifestyle?

Mid life: Trying to raise a family together and realising eventually that men are bloody useless.

Raising a family while appreciating everything my DH does. Came back after my run today to a clean and fed child, clean house, and folded laundry.

Sorry you feel this way, OP.

My husband is useless in his own special way, but I'd be lost without him.

Haha 😁

Where's the bit between puberty and mid life? And the bits between there and menopause?! I'm fairly certain I'm no longer going through puberty, but I would doubt anyone would class me as "mid life" at 26?!

Maybe getting married and having a baby is the new mid life crisis!! Or something

Nope

Well although I have known at least one woman who could have possibly fitted (at a push) into that. I couldn't be further from any of those and most women I know definitely don't either

At least shouldn't have been there

I don't recognise any of that either.

Nope - can't relate to that.

And my husband is anything but useless.

Nope, my husband is definitely not useless, I wouldn't have stayed with him if he was, let alone started a family together!

This is pretty much how it's been for me unfortunately,
however I am hoping for another stage a bit further on of pleasant companionship, a few pounds to have fun with and no pressures to contend with (babies, job struggles,, big mortgages)

A later life relationship might suit me very well.
