My 1st wife had to have a hysterectomy for an ovarian cyst. That took care of that. After she died, I remarried to a woman who'd also had one. I'm inexperienced with menopausal women.

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
I was fortunate in that, unfortunately, a pap smear indicated issues for my wife. She required surgery and the Dr. asked if there was anything else she wanted done. "Rip it all out", she replied. Menopause over and done.
I have thr utmost respect for those of you who have lived through this.

And remember Jorge's axioms: 1. The BEST one you'll ever meet (and probably marry) is a pain in the ASS 2. If they didn't have a hole, there'd be a bounty out on them.... (excluding one's mom of course0
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
Mine went through it fairly early[mid 40's], hot flashes were fairly common but craziness and mood swings were pretty much the same/same.....she is a 'she' after-all. Still the best thing to ever happen to me!

That plus Covid lock downs have caused a lot of people grief. My wife got a low dose of anti anxiety meds - dont know what it is, but she is happier, very pleasant. Her Gyno prescribed it. She had thyroid removed and partial hysterectomy which complicates it all. Big thumbs up for the meds and I am not a fan of that stuff.
I took an anthropology class in college and it was interesting because tribes that had not been exposed to the modern world and modern influence would not experience some of the same things we “know” should happen. Two of those things were PMS and menopausal crazyness. The author of the book suspects it was because the women were never told it was ok to behave poorly during those events, therefore they didn’t.
Don't worry. Post-menopausal women are much more reasonable and down to earth.
. What is the horneyness level like at that point. They say older women hit a sexual peak. I think that is a myth. The horneyness goes downhill after 18.
You been dating the wrong women. After the change they can be good to 24/7/365 with just a little romance. Except the crazy ones & chances are if they're single at that age, they're crazy.

How are men getting women, many people wonder. Let me tell you a little bit about our organization. Wherever women are, we have a man working on the situation right now. Now, he may not be our best man, okay, we have a lot of areas to cover, but someone from our staff is on the scene. - Jerry Seinfeld

Being a woman would drive anyone nuts. Some men allow themselves to be walked all over. The problem with tolerating crazy early in a relationship is you might reach your limit before you've seen it all. You can't be twenty years in and all of a sudden decide you're not gonna tolerate. Once she births your children you're in it for the long haul, crazy and all. Some have to sift through quite a few to find one with a tolerable kind of crazy.
Not that this applies to OP. Just gonna get different answers depending on how it went with different couples.

So each month my 45 year old wife has gone increasingly crazy. On Wednesday I'm the greatest person alive, Friday i notice tension rising.....Saturday I nearly get divorced over a free chainsaw.
Here it is Tuesday morning and I'm back to mr wonderful status.
This has been going on for about 10 cycles but getting more intense each time.
How in the heck do you guys live through this without getting arrested or killed?
Progesterone cream rubbed on her chest. Worked for my wife and both daughters. Check it out on the 'net. We got the info from a doctor.

I was lucky. I’ve said before that I was blessed with a woman that had zero snakes in her head and I still stand by that. We had roughly ten years of peri-menopause. Erratic cycles, hot flashes you wouldn’t believe, finally no more cycles. Through it all she’d laugh a little about it and that was about it. No moodiness, no crying jags. We’d laugh when I told her I could scramble eggs on her thighs during a hot flash.
You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
Buy her some menopausal and PMS meds, wrap them up nice, hand it to her saying this will help.By the time you wake up in 4-5 days,she should be evened out again
