Everything is annoying me

I think I may be going through menopause hence feeling horrible so I'm waiting for tests but I keep getting pissed off with my partner. What annoys me is he asks me everyday what I'm upto, how my day was what I did all day and what I'm upto during the night when he's not with me. When I come home work and he's there I get annoyed when I hear him coming to ask me those same questions. I know it's nice to ask how my day was but I'm sick of it. I'm turning into such a b..tch. I just want to be left alone alot of the time. Especially when my kids are home too I just want quiet.

I get it, I think sometimes you just need a bit of decompression space. I also hate my DH asking those kind of questions because it seems so formulaic and not like he genuinely and spontaneously cares about my day.

I feel the same OP. although it’s only my partner I get annoyed with, colleagues, friends etc I’m ok with?! How old are you if you don’t mind me asking?

I had to stop my DH asking the same questions. It's not a conversation it's just an information gathering exercise. He would get home and say "So, what's been happening?" and then expect me to monologue about my day. I started turning the question back on him - "Not a lot, what's been happening with you?"
It took years, but he finally gets it. I doubt it's anything to do with the menopause (although women tend to have less tolerance for everyone elses crap post menopause), it's a natural reaction to an annoying habit.
