Husbands learning & supporting a Menopausal wife
I would love to find support and discussion for husbands that are learning about menopause. Learning how to adapt and understand the menopause journey. Wives are not alone in this and as a loving husband I want to understand what role I can take. I would also like support for the struggles I encounter as the partner of a menopausal wife.
@TheJeff
It is very nice of you to want to understand what your wife is going through and how you can help her. Getting support from a partner can make such a big difference for a woman and can prevent her from feeling lost and alone. It can be very hard having to face menopause not understanding what is going on in the body, feeling that your environment does not understand your reactions and neither the person you love most in your life. So big thumbs up for you!

@amiablePeace77 Thank you!
You might want to look up Jen Gunter's work - she's written a book, blog posts, has a podcast, and talks about menopause regularly. Might be an avenue for more information. Best of luck.
@BuffOrpington thank you. I downloaded this book and will read it this weekend.
Just love him
@TheJeff good luck we are all looking for the same
Thank you for taking this step and encouraging someone else experiencing something similar to do the same. #Staystrong
Thank you for starting this thread. I’ve been researching a lot as my gf has always had bouts of depression however paired with perimenopause it’s been amplified. A lot of withdrawal and I am understanding
why it’s neither of our fault. Any references to readings or advice from those that have supported their partner or advice from women here that has helped keep the connection alive would be very helpful.
