Men, we need to talk about menopause.


Agree with original post.

However.... if you've worked in several workplaces where women have taken days off for "women's problems" only to later laugh about how hungover they were I can forgive people not taking them seriously.

Cry wolf and all that.
Yep we known to use it for many excuses. I remember my PE Teacher suggesting to me to see a Gynaecologist due to the fact I took so many letters to be excused from the showers for being on a period.
 

No matter at what stage of life you are at we will have girls who we love around us going through menopause.

In the past it has been cruelly taunted when really we need to step up our game to be better informed and supportive of the very real challenges this brings to the female body and mind. Imagine men trying to handle monthly periods, childbirth and menopause.

I find it helps best when I educate myself on it so I can understand symptoms and how those I love are choosing to manage it, even empathy alone is a powerful ally.

Each female menopause is very individual so treatments can vary and be changeable, and the whole process can take ten years. Happy to be educated further on any links or info those better informed than me can add.
Looks like your getting your daily dose of midweek day time TV and Loose Women mate
 
I've been living with this and suffering terribly at my wife's perimenopausal demons. That's right, I'm making it about me 👊🏻
Under normal living conditions** I can't do right for wrong, now it seems I do wrong, apart from the moments I don't which, apparently, are just bait to lure me into a false sense of security so the next barrage will cut deeper.
Most women don't understand it, so no joy for men.
Should be classes 👍

**I work with 8 women, 5 of whom are 'going through the change'. It's like living through a performance of the Crucible 😬
