Menodivorce. It's a thing, apparently.

I compromised in ways that destroyed my self and allowed abuse in the hopes of keeping an intact family. He just wanted the appearance of father and husband without putting in the work. I didn’t see that at the beginning. Nor did I see his mental health issues. Menopause liberated me.

Same here, realized too late but well before menopause.

So now gray divorced or ManChild divorced are coined “Meno-divorces”?
I don’t think so.

exactly. my ex-wife put me on pause and didn't care about supporting anything since she was SAHM and our kids are in college. I started the divorce and in another relationship now. She is going through trouble and struggling and reach out now and then if I'll take her back. She is also ok if I want to keep the other relationship. WTH! Not sure if it is Meno-pause or her personality but it is not good and I lost all respect for her.

They have a sex drive, they want to feel sexy and desired for the last time and their DHs have been phoning it in for a decade at least. Men don’t make their wives feel wanted, sexually or intellectually, so we look around and wonder why we are still doing this.

it goes both ways. You can get into a new relationship and after a few months or a year, it would feel the same.

So, when women hit that time, they are done with their menfolks.

Depends on their marriage and mindset. This time should emphasize the value of having a long term solid relationship.

Most women also don't understand their own or male biology and role of hormones. Americans aren't taught managing health, relationships, finance or any useful thing in schools.

Exactly. Use her to raise the kids, free high quality childcare, manage the house & schedule, meal plan & cook, support everything so you can focus on career mainly, launch the kids to college & career paths…. And then kick her to the curb. Done and done. No respect indeed.

Pretty much. This combined with being at home all together during Covid is when I reached my limit.
