Menopause and marriage

[SunshineCake]

I read an article the other day about three women who regretted their divorces and one was due to hormone changes in her as after she was through it all she realised she still loved her DH.

I'm not sure what I'm asking really. I can't work out if things have changed for me due to stuff happening with dh and I or the fact I haven't had a period since Autumn.

I would have divorced the whole world during my menopause. Its a wobder we're still together (ish). I do think effective support for menopausal women would contribute to more enduring relationships for all sorts of different reasons.

I got married during menopause. That was definitely a mistake, since rectified.

Mood swings are definitely a thing with me (still, in my 60s)

Do you think it's a case of just hang in there / accept decisions until it is all over ?

Sunshine In a similar place. I know that peri-menopause is exacerbating everything for me so I've told myself I'm not making any major decisions. I'm off to therapy soon (about something else) but I desperately need to speak to someone to try to gain greater perspective. It feels as if I've got so much other stuff to 'unpack' so I'm working on that first. I also have relatively young dc. It's not straight forward as husband overstepped a boundary of mine, so it's all muddied. Sorry I can't advise anymore.

Hopefully someone will come along soon with some more advice.

You have helped @Daphnesmate07 and I'm sorry you have been having a hard time too. I did have some really good therapy but don't feel I can go back to them.

Normally thinking about my children are enough but now it's just too bad.
