ORIGINAL: LadyPact Some women, if the sexual drive has decreased, may also not show signs of affection, if they are feeling they are being pressured about having sex. If every hug, kiss, or caress leads to the "when are we going to have sex" routine, those other signs of affection will drop off, too. I agree with this. I'll also say that not a lot of men understand how brutal peri-menopause can be. It's a lot more than hot flashes. And some of the issues make you feel decidedly un-sexy. Add a man there going "My dick! My dick! My dick!" and yeah....things are gonna go cold. (And judging by the fact that he thinks that women "get past" menopause - he really has no idea what is going on with his wife) I know men/husbands/ as a rule really dont wanna discuss why waking up in a pool of your own "blood" a couple of days a month isnt fun. They think PMS is bad, wait till menopause!!! My husband is probably as "understanding" as any woman deserves, hes been there for all of my menopause, childbirth, and raging endo and other icky issues. But it does squick him talking about bleeding, and I do a LOT Of it. Last month scared me. He doesn't know how to help me, except buy me chocolate and cuddle me when I ask, he has researched it, but dealing with different hormones and the resulting imbalances have been confusing...for both of us. But that aside, so many WOMEN dont know what is going on with themselves, let alone be able to express it to their spouse. Altho it is so much easier today with the interwebs, and new information to find people having the same issues and how to get the right help. I know I dont want to be around myself let alone make anyone suffer, but the dog she just cuddles up against my poor tummy and lets me pet her.
