It Isn't Just Happening To You
When you are struggling, the people closest to you feel it too. It is a heartbreaking reality that menopause has been called a "divorce danger zone." In fact, over 60% of divorces* in the UK are initiated by women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, the prime menopause years.
7 in 10 women say that the menopause put a significant strain on their marriage or relationship. It is incredibly hard to stay connected when you are exhausted, your libido has vanished and you feel like you are constantly on the edge.
But it isn't just us. While we are navigating our own hormonal storm, our partners are often going through their own version of "the change." The Male Menopause (or Andropause) is very real and I work with men just as closely as I do women to navigate this.
