I've always found it difficult to be in that space, as a parent with daughters it's difficult to get in the right headspace to make it work! Even with a mature partner! I think it's a contradictory position. As a parent we protect and nurture. I guess that is what a little seeks!

I've been through it twice with the same partner! From a man's view point it's like your partner being slowly dipped into hell!! The complete randomness of the changes that are going on, hot flushes too fully burning up, going from normal to like you've had a serious workout at any point during Read more… your day for no apparent reason!
You'll probably try every remedy, oldwives tale some help others are of no use!
'Men and sex you've got to be joking', in no way will your partner fell in anyway sexy, up for it or anything else, the last thing on a woman's mind is your little mate proding her in the small of her back, while you do your best to get her attention with romantic touches and kisses, 'leave her alone' it's probably the first night she has got in bed and feeling like the person she once was and the prospect of a full night of undisturbed sleep is the only bliss she's longing for!!
The mood swings will be evident, don't take it personally but if you leave your crap around you will know that you are an 'utter wanker and cunt!'
We have no comprehension of what is going on or how long it will last, be supportive and caring because that's all you can do! You will grow into your new normal together!

I personally would choose bad sex, having experienced no sex for many year due to partner illness! I experience a deep connection when we both click that transcends words!
As an attentive and inventive lover I would do everything I could to improve that "Bad sex"!
And as I find connection beyond Read more… the act with my partner it would be "Bad sex" all the way!
