These trying times are distroying the initimacy in our marriage. Correction, has already destroyed!

Sex and affection is non-existant in our marraige for the past six months. It has been declining for the past several years. Money, kids , work, house are constantly on her mind and she cannot seperate them and allow herself to relax long enough to have even a hint of intimacy between us. I don’t even know the right way to try to make love to her. She pushes my hands away at the first gental attempts at foreplay.

Add to that the hormones (so i’m told) of premenopause which has driven down her self body image, and she doen’t even feel comfortable being naked in front of me.

I on the other hand can’t sleep at night, she turns me on so much that I lay awake all night in the hopes that she’ll roll the right way so maybe I can get a few moments of carressing some parts of her that make fall temporarly exsposed.

Help before I begin looking elseware for the intimacy we all need.
Let me add, that i already helop around the house, cook, race home from work to handle dinner and the kids (youngest is 13) so she can go to aerobics class. I’m painting the kitchen and redoing the lighting etc.

I gently reminded her that it’s been a while… my birthday was last week too, she came right out and said that "the money stuff is on my mind and i just can’t get into it."

Is it okay to flush my 13 year old hot water heater, if I don’t know if its ever been done before?

Moved in to the house six months ago. I’d like to keep the home well maintained, but I don’t want to cause unforeseen damage.

Thanks!

I’m 35 and I think I’m perimenopausal. Over the past six months or so my periods have changed to a stop and go pattern. I’ve also started getting bad headaches on the first day, particularly in the spring and summer. So anyway, I’m about to have a bunch of blood tests and wondered if there was an optimum time in my cycle for the progesterone, estrogen, FSH, etc. levels to be tested.

Am I going through mental disorder? I am 50 year old man, lost my job two years ago and now a full time father. Six months ago it happened first time when my 14 year old son was ill. I was perhaps stressed. In the midnight, the pain around neck travelled to brain and settled to the right side. A pricking kind of sensation. It lasted for an hour. Next day too the same happened. Then I was going through some anxiety attacks and was becoming too emotional and insecure and always had a feeling that anytime I can die and life is meaningless. Some times too much confusion in brain, some wieard memories come out and I felt too depressed. Sometimes feel I will go mad soon in life. It all the time happened in the night time. Doctors said nothing to worry. I thought a scan could help. But they said not required. I don’t drink, don’t smoke. I am confused with my life. Or is it man menopause symptoms? I am having normal sex life too. I am trying to control the symtoms but still confised. Pls help

I am just guessing I have a yeast infection (yuck!) and in the past I have treated it with an over the counter medicine. Six months ago I had a hysterectomy and maybe it is no deal, but can I still use the same OTC medicine? Thanks!

Anybody else experiencing this? Ive felt this way (without the hot flushes) for the past six months, and the flushes started apart 3 weeks ago - they get much worse when i go to bed.

Help!

Please explain your situation after surgery. I have had kidney infections six months after a hysterectomy. I have been on anti biotics ever since. This has gone on for two years. Doctors don’t know why. Has anyone gotten better? Has any one gotten healed from uti’s and kidney infections? If so how?

I’m 42 years old. My mother went thru abrupt natural (non hysterectomy) menopause at the age of 39. My periods have always lasted no more than 3 days. Up until the past 6 months or so, they were regular, 28 day cycles and bleeding lasting the 3 days. During the past six months they became irregular, somtimes every 2 weeks, but still lasting 3 days. It is February 14th and this is the 3rd time since January 5th that I’ve had my period. It lasted for 1 day (fairly heavy) on the 5th, then the next one came about 2 1/2 weeks later and lasted for 7 days.The longest ever! It just came agaiin and the discharge is sorta membrane like, not clots, if that makes sense. Also my breasts have been incredibly sore (evenly on both sides) since the beginning of January also.The night sweats, lack of concentration and all the other "peri-menopausal" symptoms are in place. Is the breast soreness/membrane like period part of peri-menopause? I had a tubal 16 yrs ago Couldn’t be pregnant either,right?
