[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When she’s in a good mood, gently ask her if she wants you to use a code word for when you think she is maybe reacting a particular way as a result of perimenopausal mood swings. Make a joke of it and remind her you’ve been there, and frame it like the two of you are coming up with a strategy together. See if she gets on board with the idea. Otherwise just make noncommittal sounds when she complains, but be honest-if-diplomatic if she asks you flat out for your opinion. [/quote] I like your ideas, thank you. I also agree I have to be careful because advice doesn't work if it isn't welcome. She has never asked me whether I think she is reacting a certain way as a result of peri mood swings, but there have been times she has come to this realization on her own after feeling better, and maybe next time she brings this up I can jokingly suggest the code word.
