Menopause and perimenopause don’t “ruin” relationships. They expose the ones built on autopilot, entitlement, and zero emotional skill. In this Nash-only solo, I’m talking straight to the guys: what’s actually changing, why you’re probably taking it personally, and how to stop turning your partner’s body into your crisis.

We get into the real stuff: sleep getting wrecked, mood shifts, why pressure kills desire, why comfort matters more than your ego, and how resentment and the mental load can quietly torch intimacy. We also talk about practical, medically responsible options (yes, lube counts, stop being fragile), when it’s time to talk to a clinician, and how to keep sex hot without making it feel like homework.

No soft-focus lectures. Just a blunt relationship reality check for men who want to stay connected and keep the heat alive through this chapter.
