How Can I Get Along With Boyfriend?

'Menopause considered an end to your life'...huh???  

Menopause is certainly not something to curl up in a corner over, but you are fairly young to be perimenopausal which means you could have symptoms for quite a few more years. Many physicians feel that premenopause is a good time for females to begin artificial hormone therapy, because the supplements will replace the declining internal supply instead of creating an excess. Some physicians prescribe medications such as Zoloft and Prozac for controlling the emotional changes.

In the meantime you should encourage your boyfriend to do some research on this medical change to better understand what you are going through...maybe even ask him to speak to the doctor on your next visit. Also be careful to not blame or assign all explosive or irritable behavior on this. Really take the time (when you are more relaxed and calm) to examine where you are in your relationship with him.

It really is not the end of the world. Just the beginning of a new chapter.

Your actions are pretty understandable as you are going through this critical stage. Mostly women try to hide from this reality and menopause is considered an end to their life. However, you need to understand that there is a lot more to life. You need to talk to Mark about it and tell him that this is the reason for your actions and behavior. It will make you a lot more comfortable. You now think that you don't want to be in a relationship, However, don't be this hasty and decide after you have talked things over with him. I believe its probably just your inner fear that makes you think and act this way, once  you get over with it, life will be beautiful again.
