Hooray! Trish has woken up in a foul mood for some reason that I am going to silently attribute to menopause and not just that I am a titanically annoying POS (although I am prepared to admit that this *may* be a contributing factor). I am therefore having a solo Valentines morning kitchen disco (not a euphemism), which I am *sure* will cheer everyone in the house up. Huzzah! 🕺🪩

@TheBreadmonkey Tacos are my menopausal kryptonite. You just have to find hers.

@TheBreadmonkey I know it’s not great for anyone when some doctors barely prepare for it, but I hope we’re in a better place. My workplace did a seminar but it was posited as being for women, when a couple of men afterward said “actually, all of us should have done this too”. So I’m asking if they’re doing another one. Our upper management isn’t super empathetic 😕

@TheBreadmonkey Serious question here as I’m acutely aware this will affect me within the next few years (and I’m terrified tbh) - have you found any resources to help you help her through this? Or anything useful that’s helped you understand it? Have you found any help together? I want to put this in front of my other half so he’s prepared too. I know from friends that it’s pretty isolating to go through menopause/peri menopause while being seen as ‘just angry’ or whatever.

@LDJ

I'm genuinely interested in this, as am surrounded by family and friends who are currently going through it. I'm always happy to chat and suppose I've got a bit of experience of the view from a male partner perspective.

I'm on the fly a bit today but will point you towards some of my previous chats that people have kindly responded to and we can pick it up again later if OK. ❤️

Short version is don't worry - you're among many other women going through the same thing and there is a tremendous amount of support and sense of community about it. Like I say - will respond properly later. 😊

@TheBreadmonkey @DrSaucy Make sure you never discuss this thread with her once she perks up or you’ll be back to square one.

For some reason discussing partner’s actions with your weirdo internet debating club is frowned upon.

@TheBreadmonkey Sorry about the other stuff, but a solid choice of tune.

@TheBreadmonkey I recommend total silence and staying completely still.
