Perimenopause Help

Question by JakePatter: What should a husband do if wife has low sex drive?
It’s going on years and wife says she has no drive. I pick up slack at home, helping bath kids, fill her car with gas, dishes and yet she won’t even try to have an intimate relationship. She won’t read up on what might cause the problem, could really careless. I’m dying to connect emotionally and physically. She still dresses provocatively when going to work, would she still care if her boob’s can be seen if she didn’t have a sex drive? Help!

remind her that the difference between a marriage and roommates is sex. The difference between friends and a sexual relationship is sex. Drag her to counseling as well.

If there was a way to minimize menopause effects through diet I guess most women would have preferred that on any HRT or other ways.

I would say you need to adjust your diet no matter how old you are. The sugars, starches and fast food in general are the enemies of a healthy life style. What is called the Mediterranean diet i.e. lots of fish, vegetables, fruits, olive oil those should be the main ingredients on your table. You can look it up in Google or Yahoo. Then there is another very important thing and its exercise, even just walking 5 times a week for half or one hour is so very important. If you can go to exercise classes that would be great. Sleep 7 hours a night I think these are the main guidelines. But, if you think these steps will diminish or minimize menopause effects, that would be an illusion. Some women experience very harsh symptoms and take HRT and some can live with the symptoms, its very personal.
