[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if menopausal rage is an evolution’s way of   breaking up partnerships that can no longer produce offspring?  It seems so common.[/quote]

For what end? What problem does that solve for evolution?[/quote]

In evolutionary terms, the primary problem is the shift from communal to highly individualized expectations. Romantic "soul mate" love is a myth that didn't exist back in the day, but does support the formation of nuclear family structures that are beneficial for raising children. Once the children are raised, individuals regain their freedom and can decide whether they like their partner enough to remain tied to them, or move on to different, potentially more compatible sexual relationships. Pretty much anything goes, only sad when a couple is not on the same page about next steps. Imo menopausal rage gets out of control in situations where the incompatibility has become entrenched and the desire for freedom is at odd with circumstances (like children not out of the nest yet).[/quote]
