Statistics show more marriages end do to menopause then from infidelity, Do you agree?

[Finchie40]

I sure as hell agree with this , my ex wife was 4 years older than me , and the second she hit perimenopause/ menopause , I didn’t know who she was anymore , she turned into this raging lunatic that constantly started arguments with me , criticizing me, belittling me , telling me she doesn’t love me anymore etc, just pure disrespect from her to the point I didn’t know who she was anymore. All I was to her was a walking punching bag , , I just read an article about how menopause destroys more marriages than infidelity does , , so this is why I am only dating younger girls’ for now on lol Guys’ that are married be prepared if your wife or girlfriend is about to experience menopause , just be prepared for misery and unhappiness

I think it depends on whether the woman is a candidate for hormone replacement therapy. A woman who has the BRAC-1 gene has a high likelihood of developing breast cancer, and replacement hormones will potentiate that possibility. . . so no HRT for those women.

Those women who are on HRT seem to be much better than those who are not. My wife takes HRT and she's not very crazy at all

[mysteriousNicholas]

👀 does this give my credibility to me actually thinking I'm right to say I'm aging as 30s+ aka "eventually, sex after even, say, 35 or by 40, just becomes cringey*

Such is the aging of the skin sagging, the skin losing moisture, and I haven't even gotten to the women details yet 💤😂💤

[mysteriousNicholas]

@Finchie40 I hope I was both funny and true

[sage2021]

So, how was this survey taken to come to this conclusion? 🤔

You have to remember that every woman 👠 👠 is different. Every woman's brain 🧠 and hormones are different.

I only had hot flashes going through menopause. My mood was stable and basically no changes.

I refused the hormone replacement therapy because I knew of the cancer risk - it says it right on the box.

[Finchie40]

Apparently divorce lawyers reported this , that menopause was the leading factor of divorce compared to cheating

[sage2021]

We all know that lawyers lie and can't be trusted.

[Finchie40]

True lol

[Zionne]

Menopause can definitely strain a relationship, but it’s usually not the menopause itself, it’s how both partners handle the emotional and physical changes that come with it. Hormones can affect mood and communication, but mutual understanding and patience make a huge difference. Many couples make it through that stage even stronger when they approach it as a team.

[Finchie40]

Apparently it’s a 50/50 chance on whether the relationship between them will last or not during menopause , not every women goes through menopause the same , some handle it better than others’ I guess it comes down to their brains and the chemical reactions, my ex suffered from anxiety and depression and PTSD and ADHD , so when she hit menopause it was unfortunately extreme to the point I didn’t know who she was anymore , she turned into this raging evil woman towards me and making my life a living hell , on top of that she was gambling our money away so we couldn’t pay our bills , I told her she needs to get serious help but she wouldn’t admit she was wrong whatsoever, she never took any accountability for her actions , on top of that she became very selfish and all of a sudden I meant shit to her , her mental illness and menopause combined was the worst thing I experienced with a woman , so I had no other choice but to exit the marriage , if I didn’t , I would of lost my home and everything else , she was stealing money from me and paying for trips with her so called girlfriend without my consent , so I immediately opened a new bank account and had my paychecks deposited there so she couldn’t get her hands on it , I told her to pack her things and get the fuck out of my life and to go stay with her girlfriend that’s a complete wack job as well. My wife could barely keep a job and whatsoever, but when it came to spending money , she was a pro at it , when I was laid off from my job , my wife didn’t have my back which blew my mind considering all the times I had hers when she would quit her jobs left and right , but some how I became the bad guy , because she played a victim the whole time , So ending the marriage with her was the best decision I ever made even though I was devastated on how she changed on me like she did , now that she is out of my life , I actually have money again and my bills are being paid , but it was a scary ride because I was so behind on

[Finchie40]

everything because of her , someone I use to trust I couldn’t trust anymore , who does that to their family? Wack job women do

[beenherebefore]

Never met a couple who divorced due to menopause or after long years of marriage so I guess is not that common.

[Finchie40]

It’s just something I read, and why I asked this question

[RxR0954]

You sound like a walking red flag. Younger girls will eventually get to the point where they hit menopause someday, what will you do when it comes to that point? Dating girls who are even younger while you’re a wrinkly old man to avoid the impacts aging has on women (we haven’t even talked about increased wisdom here)?

[Finchie40]

Hopefully I will be dead by that time

[beefcakebradybatson]

Wrinkly? At 72, ol' boy barely looks FORTY-FIVE !!! Who wants some saggy, wrinkly old broad? Not I !!!

[beefcakebradybatson]

Probably because at his wife's menopause, a husband will often seek a younger girlfriend, as many women's looks begin to fade at menopause, while we lads tend to keep our good looks a lot longer,

[WhitneySnow]

I strongly doubt a legit survey was ever done asking divorced women if they were going through menopause at the time of their divorce and how that factored into their reasons for divorcing their husbands.

[Finchie40]

It was reported by divorce lawyers

[WhitneySnow]

That’s extremely anecdotal at best. Plus I would bet that the only divorce lawyers with the sheer unmitigated balls to ask their female clients if menopause played a role in why their female clients divorced their husbands were bitter male lawyers whose own wives probably divorced them somewhere around that time.

[SixFootSexy]

In the UK, >60% of opposite-sex divorces in 2021 were filed by women, with the average female divorce age at 44.5—directly aligning with perimenopause. Similar patterns hold in the US.

[WhitneySnow]

@SixFootSexy you can’t prove that they were going through menopause. It happens anywhere from age forty to age sixty. And you definitely can’t prove that menopause had anything to do with their reasons for divorcing their husbands. And if you’re really six foot tall and sexy you shouldn’t be so bitter that you fall for all this stuff.

[SixFootSexy]

@WhitneySnow
Wtf does bitterness have to do with anything? I literally posted a legitimate stat with a source. What do you want... more articles, or are you trolling? A quick google search pulls up TONS of results.

[WhitneySnow]

@SixFootSexy not peer reviewed studies

[SixFootSexy]

@WhitneySnow
You are making a counter argument from "vibes." Where's your peer reviewed rebuttal?

[WhitneySnow]

@SixFootSexy it’s not my obligation to produce one. It’s your obligation to prove your case.

You seem very anti female. Are you sure that’s not infringing on your sexiness? Girls can pick that up you know.

[SixFootSexy]

@WhitneySnow
I love women; when they aren't insufferable. But that's irrelevant.

So there's a very compelling argument from stats that it's not simply anecdotal, that's why the burden of proof is back on you, because you have yet to offer another (valid and compelling) explanation for the fairly obvious link of the age range of menopausal women and divorce.

[WhitneySnow]

@SixFootSexy it’s also possible that men are dumping their wives because they hit menopause and are no longer able to have sex as easily and are just too old. Plus the fact that these divorces are occurring during the menopausal age does not prove that it’s menopause that’s causing them.

[Finchie40]

No matter what , menopause can be a reason a lot of marriages end ,, especially from what i experienced with my ex , it definitely was enough for me to agree with this study , the shit I witnessed and experienced with her is something I never want to experience again in my life , so I am choosing to date younger girls’ for this reason

[mysteriousNicholas]

@Finchie40 and @WhitneySnow personally even when I was 20, whenever I'd hear of couples real world or fictional or even celebrities, still talking about sex or showing sex scenes in movies and the actors are well above 35, im just like "cringey cringey, cringe + no one wants to see that versus " a happy couple in their prime, 20s" : and it's not about looking 20s via surgery when ones 40 or 50. It's about the authentic - if people are in their 20s, they're in their prime - 🙏🏻🤭 which isn't timeless

[mysteriousNicholas]

which is just my view 👀

[WhitneySnow]

@mysteriousNicholas sure. I agree. But an old guy in his forties or fifties who divorces his wife of the same age to marry a girl in her twenties is not sexy or romantic.

[mysteriousNicholas]

@WhitneySnow it's very unsexy and very unromantic - just think of the wrinkling skin beginning 🤣

[Nikki1989]

Men sure love to play victim and will blame everything and everyone but themselves, but menopause? That is a real doozy!

[Crimsyjo]

So your only dating "younger" girls with the preemptive plan to ditch them everytime "shit gets hard"?

Nice

[Valnaix]

I mean marriage is a two way street and she could be acting differently but she’s only a reflection as to how she’s treated, if guys are leaders and alphas and what not then try to be one for her and try talking to her~ i got this far and saw the word divorced.. either way just try to treat someone the same way you’d want them to treat you :)

[Anonymous]

Wow your ex is lucky she got away. Every day you post more and more trash showing what a terrible man you are. No wonder you're so bitter.

[Finchie40]

It’s actually the other way around , I am lucky I got away lol

[Opinion Owner]

It's funny you think that. Keep whining.

[Finchie40]

I’m not whining , I’m just speaking truth

[Opinion Owner]

Every post you make is whining about women. No wonder your ex left.

[Finchie40]

I left her because I was over her toxic shit

[Opinion Owner]

You're clearly not over anything!

[Finchie40]

I will always love and care about her , she is the mother our children and I have a long history with her , but unfortunately it didn’t last like I thought it would , so I never expected this to happen, just goes to show how people can change

[Opinion Owner]

And you're clearly not over her because you can't stop posting about her and talking negatively about her. You seem somewhat obsessed and toxic. She is probably better off without you.

[Ariesman81]

Mmhmmm... you thought the emotional rollercoaster of their period was bad? Menopause said... hold my beer.

[Ironco]

Should have talked with her doctor, it's a hormone imbalance. Neither one of you needs to go through that.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Yes, also because older lads often seek younger ladies.

[SaoirseS]

No, I don’t agree.
