IMO, it's more of a midlife crisis than just a physical change in the woman. Not that uncommon in people in their 40s and 50s.

Also I don't think any of the posters were "rude." They were expressing an opinion that the OP should not be upset or surprised because she doesn't know all the facts.

Neither do the posters who slammed her opinion.

I'm confused.

What does menopause have to with any of this?

OP has stated that "young" people (52 year olds) do understand and are confused by menopause. With a unstated idea that husbands are brutes who squish snowflakes.

I would love to turn back time so I could blame Every. Single. Thing. on menopause.

Just making a simple comment based on one paragraph in OP’s original post.

My husband has 3 adult nephews, 42-52 age range, all with lengthy military service. Trust me, service to this country is ALL these men have ever done to gain any level of respect. 2 of the 3 have public FB pages, and all pictures show them on their Harley’s, or shirtless showing off all their tats with their pit bulls at their side, or “hanging” with other unit buddies, and everyone is drinking. There are 11 failed marriages between the 3 of them, and only 1 has shown irresponsibility as a parent. All 3 share the opinion that it is not cool to be married.

@LoveMyBaby .... I hearted a certain post because I really do feel she needs to stay out of this couple's business. It is her cousin's daughter not hers. The information she is receiving is one sided and probably not the full details. The couple she is "concerned" about are definitely old enough to know how to handle their own personal problens. Divorce and menopause is a personal issue and I doubt the cousin's daughter would want it "aired" out in a public forum. A person's privacy should be respected.

Looks like the nasty posters are out in full force once again. Wish they would keep their rude thoughts to themselves, but that will never happen.

@RetRN. You and several other people referred to a poster who expressed an opposing viewpoint as being rude. She pointed out that the OP was engaging in speculation that was none of her business, which was true. She also pointed out that menopause was misspelled, which is also true.

Rude is defined as offensively impolite or ill-mannered. How was the poster offensively impolite or ill-mannered? Just because YOU don't agree, doesn't make her rude.

If you find out, would you please let the rest of us know?

It's called Men O Pause for a reason.

Wait until he has to deal with his own changes.

Happened to my DH later than mine.

It all sounds very '1950s'...like all the 'young' women need to be

shipped off to an island to go through 'the change.'

@newname0 One of the main reasons people break up and leave their marriages is cheating. Maybe your Godchild is cheating on her husband or fell on love with another man and left him.

Hey, if you are speculating and so can I. My guess is as good as yours.

i would be upset if anyone was speculating on my my marriage and relationship with my husband and posted about it or even discussed it with anyone.

This is a big MYOB moment.
