Not feeling support by husband

No support at all with peri anxiety and mood swings. Being told I've always been a nightmare and that the mood swings are a choice and all in my control (they're definitely not!) We're both stressed out with work and me with childcare and housework in addition (he does sod all!) I've started biting back at him lately when he snaps at me instead of letting things go - which probably is peri as I don't feel like I can help it, but it's also well overdue as he's out of order a lot of the time. Yesterday he started screaming and shouting in front of our 4 year old. Slamming doors and pointing his finger at me. I'm disgusted. I might be snappy sometimes but I don't behave like that! Anyone else been told peri mood swings are a choice? How do you deal with the lack of support? Feeling very emotional and alone right now xx

Your husband sounds a bit shit. I don’t have any advice, but I do have sympathy.

It sounds as if you have now decided to stand up to a bully and he doesn't like it.

It's not really about menopause, it's about him not liking the new 'ballsy' you that's let him get away with things for too long.

Counselling?
Divorce? (half-joking)

Maybe you need to sit down and redraw the road map of where you're going as a couple and say how you feel.
