Had a really tough 1-2 years with my wife before she finally started HRT. Things are MUCH better now but I still get little “here we go again” mental pangs when she complains about me/work/a friend now. Logically I know it’s 99% just regular honest complaints now that we all have but can’t help but frame it as the same as that deep perimenopause time. I get worried and probably retreat to my “shut up and don’t make it worse” thing that sucks.
I guess my question is I’d like to hear how people managed to get back to normal after things got back to normal.
