How do men deal with their wives going through menopause?

I am just starting to go through menopause andm y husband doesn't understand why I have nos ex drive and what is is suppose to do besides deal with itHow do men deal with their wives going through menopause?
That poor man has no idea what he is about to go through. My ex' night sweats. The cold shivers. The person you thought you married has gone out for lunch. Say adios to any kind of sex life. Sure, there are good days and bad, but the bad out number the good. Then hopefully, she will have the hysterectomy, and that helps. Your wife is some what back. Unfortunatly, I ended up losing my wife to divorce. And I stuck through it all with her.Some thanks I got.How do men deal with their wives going through menopause?
The more patient and caring and loving he is towards you- AND understanding the better off you will both be!! Have him talk to your Dr. so that they can explain all the boring but important details of what takes place when menopause happens!! It isn't like what most men think that BAM! Periods stop and we become INSTANT B*****S (not most of us anyways LOL) the more information they have the better understanding they will have too! Good Luck!
My parents scheduled an appointment with my mom's doctor so he could explain both of them what was happening and what to expect, in both physical and emotional areas.





Knowing facts and talking about how you both feel will help you lessen the stress menopause entails.





He needs to try to understand your mood swings and hot flashes; he needs to know it's not all ';in your head';. And you need to be able to talk to him and to try to understand his needs, too.


Good luck!
suggest he visit the female doctor with u. my wife is going thru surgical menopause. she had me go with her for a followup visit. i am well informed now of the mood swings, lack of desire and sleep. the worst is her hot flashes. a man should never bother a woman then lest he get his head bit off.
It's important to realize, too, that not ALL women going through menopause lose their sex drive. I sure haven't!! Some of the most recent research shows that, in most cases, if a woman really enjoyed sex in her younger years, she continues to enjoy sex in later life, including after menopause. As a divorced woman, I have been disillusioned to hear that many single men reject women my age out of hand without even getting to know us because they ';know'; we no longer have a sex drive. And the reality for me and many others is that we are very, very interested and would give anything to have a great guy in our beds!





True, when going through menopause, there can be some temporary adjustments and ups and downs hormonally that cause sex to take a back seat sometimes. But it all smooths out again eventually, and on the other side of menopause there are many women who are quite receptive to men and continue to love sex.
I'd reccomend hormone replacement therapy. It boosts your drive and kills the hot flashes. The increased risk for breast cancer is infantesimal (zero point something percent), and you save money on birth control. It's a win-win.
We find a girlfriend who is in her twenties......just kidding
