Menopause rage makes me hate my nice husband

I’ve been a good partner for 24 years - equal (or damn close) split of household/parenting, we’ve both worked hard and have tons of money, own 9 houses outright (Historic home downtown, lake house for family and 7 rentals) when we both grew up poor, a wonderful son who’s now in college and I’m still tall, good looking and in good shape. The regular beatings really get old.

You married poorly too. 😩

Get yourself under control then.

There's no excuse to allow hormonal fluctuations to affect your relationships. That's just selfish behavior to blame it on that.

I’d be happy to trade my endo with your balls for a few weeks each month.

I’ve never cheated on him during 20+ years of our marriage, and I told him that I’m going to date other men when I move out!
Just got a message from a 38 y.o. man asking if I “might like to explore younger man”. I’m petite, and the guy that I’m planning a date with said that I look over a decade younger than my listed age 🤣 I’m going to explore them one at a time, no plan to date multiple men simultaneously.

Wow, the 'you look much younger than your age' line. That's a new one! I'm sure he's being quite sincere and isn't just trying to sleep with you (but you seem pretty gullible, so it looks like he won't have to try too hard).

DP, but pretty sure that is all that PP is looking for. She's posting on a thread about how she's done taking care of men. Isn't a younger man for something casual exactly what you want, PP?

PP here. Exactly! I’m not looking for a new husband among the mid-30s men. It would just be great to spend some active time with him outdoors and if we like each other, indoors as well. Of course I don’t look a decade younger, just good enough for my age - otherwise it’s unlikely that the much younger men would want to spend time with me even casually.

But if a man posted about getting a younger husband to have fun with...

I’d invite myself over. That’s hot

Actually… my DH became a rager who lost the ability to connect emotionally right around 50. Is there a cousin to menopause that happens to men too?

Andropause is totally a thing.

They probably love their kids more than they hate, dislike, or even fear their husbands. Women make huge sacrifices for their children, starting with pregnancy, then childbirth, then breastfeeding, and on and on.

Exactly.

Sounds like she'll still be "taking care" of a man. This time though the man can just leave when it's over (on to the next).

She’ll be on to the next too! If men can enjoy their sexuality…then so can women!

Yes. Manopause

Thank you. Presumably the same man posts the same nonsense on these boards regularly. He can't fathom that women are sexual beings who have sex for enjoyment.

PP here. Yes, sex for enjoyment, and he also owns several kayaks and is happy to share. I’m new to this state and can explore all the interesting places with him (or someone like him) - much more enjoyable to do that with a young energetic guy.

I would suggest possibly trying to go on a good antidepressant.

This may help you control your rage since containing rage on a daily basis is definitely no way to live.

Your anger is likely depression manifested.

Hopefully you will feel better after going through this difficult phase in every women’s life.
