Here's What No One Tells You About Menopause and Marriage
The silence around this topic is deafening. We talk about hot flashes and night sweats, but nobody prepared you for this:
73% of women going through menopause blame it for the breakdown of their marriage.
Over 60% of divorces are initiated by women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s—the menopause years.
70% of women in perimenopause report rage and irritability as their #1 mood complaint—and guess who usually gets the brunt of it?
Yet most women suffer in silence, thinking they're the only ones whose marriage feels like it's hanging by a thread during this phase of life.
You can't Google "I hate my husband during menopause" without feeling like a terrible person. Your girlfriends are posting happy anniversary photos while you're wondering if everyone else got a manual for this stage of life that you somehow missed.
