A question for you men who have lived through the “change of life” of your partner. My wife recently told me of her unhappiness with our marriage and have she didn’t feel any real “connection” with me any more. It was a wake-up call I heeded and I bought the good doctor’s book and have changed what I could to be a better partner for her. It has seemed to work for the most part but she still seems distant and seems to likes me being around more, but at the same time still sometimes says she feels trapped and unhappy. Now this is a woman whom I have spent pretty much the last 9,000 days with, and suddenly I don’t know how to act around her. Then I realized that for the first time that there were all sorts of other thing pissing her off that didn’t use to as well, like her work, some off the stuff with our sons, and she is even taking this winter personally. She has confronted people in strange ways and I believe she may be starting the menopause process. She is 52 and we have been married for 22 years, 3 boys, 21 and 16 year old twins. I really hate having this cloud over my head all the time that she is unhappy with me, but I am wondering if it may pass with the change.
If anyone has experienced this as well please respond. Thanks Devoted.
