Advice for my DP as I go through the menopause

Hi all. I really want to pass on a source of good advice to my DP on how to cope / help with all the stuff my menopause is throwing up. This is not something we've been able to have an honest conversation about yet as communication between us is not very good at the moment. If anyone can share a really good link to a website that offers non-patronising, practical guidance to men (I've looked but had no success) I would be eternally grateful! I'm hoping it will be a starting point for us to start talking about all the emotional crap we've been avoiding for so long... Sad

Sorry he's being uncommunicative.
TBH and sorry if this is not what you'd like to hear, but his behaviour makes me cringe. At the very least he sounds self centred, unwilling to communicate with you, understand you or behave lovingly.
I'm sure you are worth masses more than this but it's your life and if you are happy, that's fine.

If he is generally unhelpful, unsympathetic and uncommunicative, then that is the person he is. And that is essentially a totally separate problem from your menopause symptoms. I don't see how giving him advice, articles or a book to read are going to change his behaviour in any way. Flowers
