Add in having children, combined with aging and this puts a major spin on the body.
I've seen women who are friends, colleagues all talk about it.
I'd start a dialogue with close friends who have wives with kids. I almost guarantee 90%, if not all, are experiencing something similar. It is just not talked about by women much (or men and DOCTORS too!), often dismissed as "that time of the month"
There is heaps of literature on this from PMDD to perimenopause. PMDD is now slowly being understood. From what I have read, it is an ongoing process and you and your wife will continually need to work on it (as it is ever changing).
Just know you aren't alone, and the grass is not greener (as so so so many women experience this). Hang in there bro.....

Hi Bro,
thank you so much for sharing
When i was younger, heard so many stories about women " changing" , but always thought it would be in the 50s, not 40s!
So now that i'm actually experiencing it myself, not a very fun thing.
I'm actually at a very good place in my career now , but my job is extremely mentally demanding ( gotta put on a smile and literally suck up to customers even when they are total dicks)
And also, i make it a point that my home is taken care of ( i dont physically do the chores, but my maid gets everything done).
So getting sucked into this unnecessary emotional black hole is actually really draining.
but anyway, again, thank you so much bro for sharing too!
