That being said, there's no argument that it does fit. But, it's more of a catch-all than one specific thing. For some women, peri may be the root and I've talked to several women who went through peri that have described their feelings and ations that are almost eerily similar to my W's. Their explanations of their emotions being "like a strobe light" and feelings towards their husbands are akin to what I see from my W. Peri can affect different women different ways as well and can start as early as 35 (my W is 41).



Mmmm ... maybe ... but I had a profound life crisis at 33 and I wasn't peri-menapausal. I just hated myself and my life and I thought that if everyone else would change, I'd be OK. Turns out I had it ar$e up.

Friend, you're wife is having some sort of life crisis. Respect her enough to let her have it. She'll never be OK if she doesn't go through this now, and hopefully work her way out to the other side.

While she's out there, live your life. You'll still be there if and when she comes out of it ... or not ... live your life and love her enough to let her do what she needs to do.
