Marriage and Menopause Episode 20: Perimenopause Rage and Marriage

Perimenopause rage nearly ended our marriage over a coffee cup. Not the fights you'd expect. A coffee cup left on the counter, and Judy screamed like it was the end of the world. She didn't know why. David didn't either.

Neither one of them had ever heard the word amygdala until they were standing in the wreckage of a marriage that was falling apart over nothing.

This episode is the real story of the rage nobody warns you about in perimenopause. Judy explains what it actually feels like from the inside, watching yourself explode and not being able to stop it.

David admits every mistake he made trying to fix it, including the one that made everything worse. They talk about the night she broke her phone, and the moment that told them they were going to survive this. If you're a husband walking on eggshells in your own house, or a woman who doesn't recognize herself anymore, this episode explains exactly what's happening and why it isn't personal.
