My wife is 13 years older than I am (yes she was a "Cougar" LOL) but she and I have a real strong marriage and this was never a problem with us. We never argued and fussed during this time and I understood she was going through a huge change. I just did what ever it took to make her comfortable and happy.
But from a guys point of view it really sucked when my wife went through the change. I didn't know what to wear from one day to the next with her. :lol: My utility bill was through the roof for about 3 years and even though she is finished as such she still has a hot flash every once in a while.
