Man-Opause
Living with my husband has been very unsettling lately. His behavior is unpredictable and sometimes difficult to deal with. I decided to do a little research and I believe my husband is going through "male menopause". I have learned through my research that men go through similar hormone changes that women go through when they experience menopause. A lot of stuff has happened to us and our family in the last year, and most of it has not all that positive. My husband's father died in the Spring, and that really sent things into a tailspin. All of a sudden, my husband wanted to move and change jobs, so we did even though I did not want to . We are now living in an area that is totally foreign and isolated and I am unhappy. I am not sure that the move has made my husband happy either. Nothing seems to satisfy him. He is angry all the time and takes it out on all of us. I am learning that most of his problem is him, me or the girls. He gets upset at the slightest little things, so we just need to step back and let him feel his feelings. I really don't know what else to do. I cannot control his behavior or his reactions to what is going on around him. I understand now why so many marriages start to deteriorate during this time. "Man-opause" is real and very unpleasant!
