[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s hard for everyone when Mom starts matching energy, which is what happens when all the reproductive hormones that were encouraging mom to build a home and ignore all the crap disappear. Men can get really resentful when they have to do stuff, and it’s coming at a time when most women just refuse to care anymore. [/quote]

This describes my marriage (still married).  I have good overall energy due to HRT, but I just don't care anymore.  I'm done being everyone's caretaker and rock.  I'm taking care of myself now, and if it results in the end of my marriage, fine, maybe even great.  DH and I don't actually have much in common anymore, other than kids.  I have some remaining bucket-list travel that would be more fun to do with friends or solo than with DH. My kids need to learn to take care of themselves before they leave for college.  I suppose if my spouse were a great partner to me, I'd feel differently, but they're not, so whatever.  He'd probably leave me or cheat on me if I got sick. That summarizes marriage in midlife - whatever. Take it or leave it.  [/quote]
