There were obvious changes to my body, that my dh could see / feel. Plus hot flashes. So we talk about it some and adjusted Pur sex life a little. It's been fine.

We don't treat it like a secret. It affects the temp in the room where we sleep, and he knows it is nonnegotiable.

It is one of the many stages in our life together.

Same age. No hot flashes or night sweats ever. Also, don’t get moody every month like I use to. Sleep well. No weight gain. My skin looks great because I don’t break out. Not doing HRT.

I am more irritable though and not as easy going but that may just be age and not menopause.

I try not to mention menopause in general, makes me feel old and I don't want to dwell on it nor have him to think of me that way. I'm secure in my marriage and myself overall but somehow .. menopause, just seems like another "category" or horrible situation.


You are incredibly insecure.
You are ashamed of your body.
