Menopause or Mental condition ? Posted: 07-25-07 19:55pm
I need some help. I don't know what to
do. I love my wife, but I am ready to
throw her off a cliff.
She is 45 and most of the time a nice wife
and good friend. I love her a lot and she
tells me she loves me with all her heart.
Saturday she lost her cell phone (by
giving it to her 12 y/o daughter) and,
because I have asked her not to do that, I
was health forum at her. These things are
not cheap. Anyhow, in the course of doing
so I mentioned that it was obvious from
the bill (I handle all of our bills) that
she did it all the time, that I did not
get her the phone so the kids could make
it their branch office, and that is what
got it lost in the first place.
She exploded and we off on a tangent that
I was spying on her private documents and
that this was a huge invasion of privacy.
In the ensuing three days she has called
me every name in the book, suggested that
I have betrayed her and, last night, when
I mentioned wills we were planning about
drafting (and insurance) she suggested I
was planning to have her killed.
Needless to say it is irrational and very
hurtful. I have always reconciled all of
our bills. She knows this and is happy to
have me do it.
To make matters short, this is so
uncharecteristic of her. I'm wondering if
its PMS, Perimenopause, a reaction to
medication (she gets migraines), the fact
that the smokes pot constantly, or some
combination of the above.
I don't know what to do. I love her, but
I won't put up with this. I find it hard
to believe she could love me and do this,
so I am convinced it must be hormonal.
Do any laidies here have any experience
with this? Do you get flashes of
irrational rage?
What should I do? I love her, but this
can't go on.
