Always been a bit firey my mrs and certainly has her moments.
Late 40s now pretty sure its menopauae. Never thought it possible to have mood swings like it. Some days I come home from work and its like a black cloud in the room.
and nag. never seen anything like it - only respite is sleep! everything is the end of the world with her - eg one wrong item in bin.
Must admit I dont deal well. I think whoa hang on theres no need for that or for speaking to me so disrespectfully. doesnt help obviously.
Dunno how much longer I can cope being treated like [censored] no matter what the reason.
Any tips? Id like to help and I know its more me getting my head around and dealng with.
Have you tried talking to her about it?
There are some great supplements out there that can really help with the symptoms of the menopause... show concern and understanding, show her that you support her, maybe suggest some couples counselling... talking is the key... small spontaneous gestures might also be appreciated... flowers, a night out, you know what she likes, spoil her a little.
The menopause makes some women feel less of a woman, aside from the physical symptoms, it also effects a woman psychologically and emotionally, due to the hormonal changes.
Be patient and kind and when it gets too much, take yourself out of the situation... best of luck
