Menopause: The Male Perspective
Some people think that men go through menopause, they don’t, they just suffer from the fallout when their wife goes through it. She can get headaches, pains in nearly every part of her body, facial hair, irregular periods, abnormally heavy periods, enormous mood swings, loss of hair, forgetfulness and confusion.
By the time your wife gets to the age where she is going through menopause you are probably alone together, the kids have grown and hopefully moved out of home, so you wear the brunt of her moodiness and stress. The two of you have been together for about 20yrs and you can still remember when she was the most wonderful woman on earth.
Too many men stray, too many men go out and have affairs because they can’t get it at home any more. Sure they feel guilty about it, but what is he going to do. He still wants to be sexually active, he doesn’t think that he is too old for it. He could leave his wife for another woman, but they have a history together, and he will always be hoping that one! day she will go back to being the woman that he fell in love with.
A marriage can break up because of menopause. You may be thinking that men are selfish, that they are not understanding of the pain that their wives are going through. But what about the man, why can’t the woman think that her husband has needs, that sex is his way of having that feeling of closeness to his partner.
Menopause is a mental think as well as a physical thing. Some women start to think that they are old just because they are going through menopause. The only thing that a woman can’t do after menopause that they could do before it, is have children. Everything else is still the same. You! still look sexy to your husband and maybe even other men, you can still be young at heart.
You are never too old to make love to the one that you love. Women need to understand that a sex life has to be nurtured, and most men are still sexually active well into their latter years. If you don’t accommodate your man he will probably get it some other way, some men are happy to masturbate others will look for more accommodating women.
This is why you see a lot of older men with younger women, it’s not that they don’t like older women. They just don’t want to have to go through those menopausal years again. They still want to lead a normal life, they want to get what enjoyment they can out of the time that they have left.
Menopause may take a few years to get through and if both parties in a relationship aren’t careful it can ruin the relationship. If you love someone you will take their feelings into consideration, if you don’t consider the feelings of your partner you aren’t in love with your partner you are in love with yourself.
Counselors will tell you that you have to love yourself before you can love someone else, that is true. But in a truly loving relationship if you don’t love your partner more that you love yourself you might as well be alone.
