Men Coping With Female Menopause
While the onset of female menopause can be a disturbing and terrifying experience for a woman, it also affects those around her such as a husband, boyfriend and children.
For a man, the situation of female menopause must seem a hopeless one to him as he tries to come to terms with mood swings, depression and hot flashes. What does he do? How can he help? After all, when she can get angry without any provocaion it’s understandable a man will hesitate and back off.
Female menopause is a tough time for both a man and woman in a relationship. But take heart. It’s been suggested that understanding female menopause well before it’s onset is one way for a couple to deal with the pressures associated with it when it arrives. Being educated about female menopause will give a couple the chance develop more of a adaptable mindset and who knows, could even prevent a marriage collapse.
Genuinely lend her your ears:
She needs to talk with someone about the things that happen to her everyday. She needs to be re-assured that she is not loosing her mind, her attractiveness, her identity to this monster which looks like it is taking over her body. The least you can do is listen to her patiently and sympathetically. Listening attentively is perhaps the best gift a husband can give his wife anytime; it is priceless during the onset of female menopause.
Understand and accept her mood swings:
She is indeed as baffled as you are with the mood swings she is having. She is not making it up and she is not being difficult. The mood swings are real. Try to be part of the solution, and be with her when she is sad or happy and try to help her make sense out of the chaos that she is going though.
Be there truly in body and in spirit:
There might not be a time when she would need you to validate her feelings as much as she needs it during the female menopause stage. If you manage to hang on there for her, you would really be able to offer her invaluable help. Never say, that her feelings are imaginary and “get a grip on yourself” because she is actually helpless.
A few steps in understanding her at this difficult time will go a long way in cementing the marriage, and you will have the satisfaction of helping your spouse in one of he most difficult phases of her life.
Female menopause shouldn’t be a lone battle for a women. Education will go a long way in helping men understand one of nature’s great mysteries.
