So that what's happening - warning mentions the X word.

I have just read this article in the British Daily Mail and its fascinating reading.

I must admit in the past 2 yrs I have become increasingly ballsy with my Husband, speaking my mind where in the past I might have kept stum. In fact my eldest daughter noticed it, jut before Christmas and wondered if we were having problems. Maybe if Gordon was a different kind of guy he might be wondering what the heck is going on but he doesn't. In fact I think our relationship in some respects has become much better as my tendency before was to sulk, sulk and sulk some more until I exploded in a pool of tears. He might not agreed with my viewpoint (frequently it turns out), but he prefers that I say what I am thinking rather than being deferential to him all the time, as I had a tendency to do before. Now he is not a god!

So if menopause has made me more ballsy I welcome the change. However, the one thing I do hate is the late of sexual desire anymore, well at least for the moment. I don't know what the supposed average is for a married couple but I know for damn sure that we are well below average. We may as well have single beds for all the sex we have these days. OK sex isn't everything, I still loved to be cuddled as we go to sleep , I love him creeping up to me and giving me a hug but wow I miss that feeling of real intimacy. Hopefully my hormones will settle down now that I have actually reached menopause. Certainly in the past 2 weeks I have noticed the hot flushes seem to have died down to almost nothing, so here I am keeping my fingers crossed for a better year in that department.
