This website is in answer to the need of guys wanting to know what they can do when their wife/partner hits 45+ and suddenly starts treating them like crap. It came out of having lunch with a friend and the penny dropped that without exception every guy we knew who had trouble in their marriage appeared to be when their partner hit menopause.
Googling for “husbands dealing with menopause” just came up with what I would of hoped was obvious advise like “be sympathetic”, or long descriptions of the physical & emotional suffering your wife is going through and the stats about women asking for divorce at 40-60.
None of us guys who love our partners will deny that the menopause is worse for them. However, the continual walking on egg shells without ever being able to do anything right wears most of us down. Most of the men I have chatted to have at least started emotionally shutting down with a few majorly depressed or suicidal. I think we can help each other by simply acknowledging that this time can be a bit shit for us too and letting out a bit of steam.
With this in mind, I think this should work best if we can just help each other out in our Forum. Anyone can login and you don’t need to use your real name.
As time goes on may link a few key texts here so easier for people to find but think will keep it simple and see if it helps anyone. If you are having a rough time at the very least have a look at the stats page and know you are not the only one dealing with this!
