Anyone care to lend a hand?
I’m wondering just how significant a role that menopause symptoms, and a high degree of stress, would play in a relationship ending?
Mine ended a month ago, and her behaviour could charitably be described as becoming increasingly uncharacteristic over the last year. She was becoming increasingly irritable, and would fly into a rage over almost anything…and then she’d be her normal self again in a few hours.
It wasn’t until I described my experiences to my father (a doctor), and my mother (her menopause experience was exceptionally challenging), did they suggest that my partner could have been battling with some awful menopausal symptoms.
I don’t know whether to contact her or not, or give her a month or two of breathing space.
