I'm not your age yet but am feeling the hormone hell that menopause is. Guys, be kind to your wives/partners when the hormones screw with her six ways from Sunday. It's no joke.

What if she spazzes out and it’s just a female thing not related to menopause?   I mean, chicks are crazy!  We really ought to be awarded some kind of medal for dealing with their [BLEEP] at times.  Like, has your hubby ever left for work happy, then come home after being at work and gone for 10+ hours and been pissed at you?  Right off the bat? I’m guessing not.  We, as men, sometimes need a Rosetta Stone or alcohol to deal with that crap.  

Ps.  Sorry you’re old.   

I'm not saying we're easy to deal with but some of that is reacting to you guys.   Or the kids, but I've never raised them so I don't know how that works but I imagine it's similar. And for real, the pressure from society for women to be able to "do it all" to an unachievable standard is unbelievable. Or the pressure to "have it all" has pushed women who would like to stay home and actually raise their kids and such to work as well as do the shopping, cooking, cleaning, child rearing, etc. I know you men have your own pressures, but guys are mostly chill about stuff and a lot of their stress comes from a different source. Women are definitely more reactive then men. So glad I'm not a dude or a lesbian. I'd have to be celibate. 

My husband works night shift, 12 hours with a 2 hour round trip commute so he comes home and showers and goes to bed. Fourteen hours is a long night and there's not much turnaround time before he's back at it so we don't really spend a lot of time together to be honest. When he retires it's going to be weird. Lol. 

And I'm not old. I'm seasoned.
