This is a very good article and many of the symptoms noted here, I experienced going through Perimenopause.
I would like to comment that the fact that a woman can become more "me centered" is not such a bad thing. I can see how this would happen as estrogen decreases. I believe men are more "me centered" and they have very little estrogen. This would be the time a doormat wife would start standing up for herself and see the world through a whole new set of eyes and brave facing the world on her terms. Nothing wrong with that but I can see how it would challenge a marriage!
Thanks, Christine! This was great reading

Candi - I actually never thought of that. I do see where that would challenge a marriage. I know so many women who have done so much with their lives after 50, that I've never really considered getting older a bad thing. Of course, I'm only 42, but I'm looking forward to being older. As I'm no doormat anyway, I don't think my DH will notice a change. :+
Barb - thanks, sweetie!
Traci - glad it's of help. I just post these things figuring if people want to read them fine, if not, fine too. As many of us on the forum are in our 40's and 50's I thought this one was rather apt.
