Beware though, of the MENOPAUSE excuse and that goes both ways. On one hand, don't let it excuse crappy behavior on the part of your wife. Hormones don't make anyone abandon their sense of morality.
OTOH, it also reeks of the same old guy excuse for blaming females in their lives and avoiding any self awareness on their own part by saying, "OH, HER complaints about ME??? No, she's on the rag, her time of month, menopause, blah blah blah, it COULDN'T BE ANYTHING I HAVE DONE....NOT ME....NOPE NOT ME...it's ALL in her head, etc....
double edge sword my friend, and woe to the man who tries to blow off his wife's feelings and write them off to some abstract cause not of his own making...
