Secret menopause

I was also thinking not to tell to my husband but was impossible! It’s wrong to relate menopause with aging! My gyn said age ages us, not menopause! My lover know it too! 😂

Ladies, so inspired by your posts, on this another rough Peri day. 

I’m hot, cold, sweaty, nauseous, muscle joint pain, laying in bed crying. I took today to tell my 15& 14 yr old daughters about this.  My hubby knows a little, but I’m talking to him next!! I fear they’re thinking I’m terribly ill. I’ve been irrational, mean, impatient, sick, bed ridden, battling multiple UTIs & shoving meds down to get over the UTIs and digestive issues. 

You’re all absolutely right....tell your family, spouse/partner, girlfriends of any age. I’m not useless, used up, finished in any way....my body may be fighting me right now, but I try to be patient  with my self and am really trying to allow my down time  to not make me feel guilty. If I can’t be the super active & involved Mom/Wife as normal...,they will have to deal with it....but they need to know why. Kids & men may experience fear or confuse our experiences for the wrong things. One of my girls thought I was hiding a serious illness like cancer.  She was so scared but never told me. 

It’s our reality and we shouldn’t EVER HIDE! Own it, except it, share it...no they won’t TOTALLY get it,,,but it helps us share that we are not losing our minds...just dealing with our metamorphosis!

Thank you to all the Meno-Goddesses for your sharing & caring??💋🙏 

Tell him, why you should suffer alone!! For better or worst? i can give it to you! how you can hide this hell from him? In the beginning i thought the same thing he will think I'm getting old! But i didn't care at that point, and i was wrong! Is not a day without him telling me how beautiful i look even the days that I look like crap!!! Even when I'm so mean to him because I'm so frustrated with myself!! He is always there!!! Tell him, you need all the support you can get!!

I never told mine but I didn't have any problems. It came up when he took me for stitches due to a dog bite. The nurse asked me if I was pre or post menopausal. I didn't know what she meant exactly and said well I haven't had a period in over two years. My husband looked at me with shock. I guess I wasn't ashamed; I just don't bother him with female things.
