My Guide to Surviving, Loving, and Laughing Through It
If there’s one thing I’ve learned living with a menopausal wife, it’s this: when the hormones change, the laws of domestic physics go with them.Drawers stay open. Cupboards never quite close. Clothes migrate from hanger to floor like they’ve got somewhere better to be.
— Tales from the Shave Chair
When men talk about menopause, we all picture the same thing: the classic hot flush. A woman glowing like a kettle about to whistle, throwing off the duvet at 3am, and yelling at the fan to spin faster.
This isn’t a science manual.
It’s not a hormone guide.
It’s a survival guide — written by someone who’s been in the trenches and lived to
tell the tale.
It’s for the men who want to understand, support, laugh, and still feel sane at the end of it all.
It’s also for the women who’ll read over your shoulder and say,
“Finally — someone gets it.”
We’ll explore it all:
• The physical stuff no one warns you about.
• The emotional chaos that sweeps through your home.
• The moments that test your patience, your love, and your sanity.
• And the laughter — the glorious, ridiculous laughter that gets you through.
Because menopause isn’t just her story...
It’s yours together..
