[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it makes a ton of sense. The women hitting menopause right now are squarely Gen X, raised in the Free to Be You and Me era and firmly expecting something "better" than what their parents had in terms of division of household labor.

But societal gender norms are strong, and this generation really isn't that much better (if at all) than their fathers when it comes to all of the tasks that keep a household running.

So, women are working FT and still carrying the bulk of the domestic load. No wonder they are burning out and deciding it would be better to be alone than remain in a marriage with a man who never really grew up. [/quote]

This 💯. I’m 50 and in perimenopause and my IDGAF approach to life is sky high right now especially when it comes to my spouse. I am tired of having to work full-time and make a more salary as DH but also have to be the family calendar keeper, activity organizer, cruise director, vacation planner, and appointment gatekeeper. Not to mention micromanager of school and sports and homework.

I don’t have any interest in ever marrying again (if my husband and I split which is looking more and more likely). I already have two teenagers and really don’t need another helpless husband masquerading as one hoping for sex.

One and done. [/quote]
