[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About grey divorces, have you seen how older people talk to each other at the mall? I know malls aren't as much a thing any more, but I'll still use it as an example. The woman, usually, belittling the husband and being nasty. Treating him like a child. Problem with getting older is the filter. The filter is gone or going away. Some older couples say all kinds of nasty things to each other. Best to think first: whatever you're mad about, has it already happened? If your spouse has already done whatever it is, it's in the past. No use being nasty about it now.[/quote]

It’s interesting that you mention this, as I’ve been thinking about this recently.

I used to see those couples and feel so bad for the husband.  Hen-pecked and seeming like he’d just given up, I’d think how can she be like that?  And now 28 years with my DH and 7 years into menopause, I relate to those wives!

While I don’t speak nastily to my DH, and I don’t berate him in public (or in private) I do get so much more easily exasperated with him and it’s harder to hold my tongue.  You do get to where you have no more F’s to give.  And with some husbands who grow more anxious (and with mine, repetitive) as they age, and the combination is tough.[/quote]
