I think this is really hard for men to deal with; the woman they love seems to take leave of absence for no reason (that they can see) and a crazed witch takes her place. My husband's tactic is to be sympathetic but distant, if you see what I mean. Physical pain he understands, and will offer real sympathy, but the existential kind of pain to which I've been subject coupled with mood swings has had him ducking for cover, mainly! Fortunately the worst of that stuff seems to be over, thank goodness and I'm more like normal me again, after about 10 years of rubbish. In a way I'm probably lucky that he's older (and generally more tolerant) than me, and is happy to offer a cuddle when asked, which is more often than not all that is needed.

My thyroid gets on my husband's nerves and he is honest enough to admit it and how can I blame him. He has never liked the menopause symptoms either but comes up trumps with private specialists and suggestions.

I often wonder how my poor other half copes with me being the way I am just now. For example today I woke up tired and grumpy having had around 2 hours sleep. I then started crying as I couldn't shift my terrible headache and awful stomach cramps. We went out a walk and I felt a little better. Started being myself again laughing and carrying on, then burst into tears when the Xmas tree lights blew??? Told him I needed alone time and bubbled like a baby lol. Decided on a little date night which ended early as my stomach and bones started hurting again causing me to be snappy again :-(. Would I want to live with me- no way. Can I see why people split up when the body thief comes along -definitely. Lainey xx Hope you are having a better day today, Lainey!  Gxx |
