I wanted to start my own post focusing on the "other side" of M.
I have finally arrived. No more feeling like an emotional roller coaster. Hot flashes continue to occur but not as frequently or as intense. I haven't had a '.' in 2 years now. Mostly this is all good... except.....
PERSONAL STUFF to follow (warning to our male members)
husband has got to stop taking my biological changes so personally. It's not that he doesn't "excite" me anymore, it's simply that my hormones have dried up. He told me last night that I have shut him out completely. It's true I think. When he was drinking for those years I detached for survival. I didn't trust him and became autonomous. Now, he appears to want back "in" and wants increased intimacy. Perhaps counseling would help and I may look into our company's EAP. But also, I need some ideas on things that might help me to enjoy physical intimacy again.
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome. If they're too personal please pm me xo ML
