I have been happily married for 26 years. My husband is now 48 and in the past few years has acted like a stranger. He has been very cold to me, short tempered and very. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Middle age is supposed to be a time of stress for women only.
At this time not only do they encounter menopause but they are often at a dead end in their activities and interests - mainly because their children are no longer at home. Men are not supposed to suffer in any special way at this time of life. While the male does not usually experience a cessation of fertility, the glandular system has slowed down and more important, he tends to look back and take stock of himself. He is also likely to concentrate not on what he has accomplished but on what he has not accomplished - not only in business or on the job, but with his family and home life. He may also feel a profound anxiety. because of age consciousness.
