[quote=Anonymous]I would press pretty hard on talking to a doctor about medication. I happened to go on cymbalta during perimenopause for pain reasons, but I very quickly noticed that I hated everyone less — LOL.

Heading into menopause is a beast and women/doctor’s don’t know enough about it. But you don’t get divorced while you are depressed. You fix the depression or you try everything to fix it and confirm that it is situational depression due to a lousy marriage.

She also needs some tonight talk that chatting up the hot dad isn’t the same as “knowing that love should be different than what she has.” Friendship plus sex is what many good marriages land on by your 50s. You aren’t racing to the door to jump into your husband’s arms.

I also think her husband can likely do better. I worked with the C suite of a Fortune 100 company for years, and I’m now in the C suite of a small company (in the 500k range like a previous poster’s husband). All the C suite women (even the ones that travel a lot) are plenty involved in the home front. We can all press the men to do better. She should figure out very specifically what she needs from her husband and match that to the reality of his schedule — I bet there are some places where they could connect better.
