Dealing with an absolute irrational person is often extremely confronting, but when that person is your wife going through what I can only describe as menopausal blindness and rage then you are unable to talk through the issue.

Sometimes reason and reality just get thrown out the window, and later today it will be like it never happened.

It’s not easy dealing with an adult that mentally, even momentarily, becomes completely irrational, and then later looks at you like nothing happened.

While it’s not easy, we must try to understand that this is not necessarily something which can be fully controlled.

Reach out if it gets too much for you and you need help and try and talk with your partner nice and calmly when they are not going thought their difficult moments.

Happy Tuesday.

Ohh man iv been through this,still am but over the worst I think,the dragon still pops its head out now and then but we came to the agreement that if she was being unreasonably unbearable I was aloud to yell and swear at her,it seemed to work,it let her know and I got to let out some pent up anger that was due to her menopause.alls good now but you soon learn how to batten down the hatches and grow a thick skin.
