With all of the physical and emotional symptoms that this life change can bring, it can significantly impact your relationship with your partner. Husbands And Menopause: How It Can Affect Your Relationship

Let’s do our partners a favor let’s construct a “navigating menopause” cheat sheet for our husbands so that they can weather the storm with us and hopefully help us to strengthen our relationship through this time of change. While we may know what to expect when it comes to symptoms and life experience, they will not know what hit them when we suddenly turn on them for not taking out the trash. Let’s face it, menopause affects all of us in some way, and if we are in a relationship, it can affect our partners as well. We were foolish enough to think that it might not happen to us, that we would be able to escape these uncomfortable symptoms and weepy moments that we saw our mothers, grandmothers, and aunts experience as we wallowed in the foolishness of youth. “While we may know what to expect when it comes to symptoms and life experience, they will not know what hit them when we suddenly turn on them for not taking out the trash.”

Oh ladies, those of us who are going through “the change of life”….it’s tough at times isn’t it? None of us knew what we were in for when we heard our mothers talking about hot flashes, mood swings, chocolate cravings, and weight gain.
