But before you decide what this transition means for your relationship, there's something you need to understand first. In this episode, Tamsen gets honest about what this transition actually does to your closest relationships, including her own. Because the distance that grows between partners during this time is real, but it is not always what it looks like. Whether you've been snapping at your partner for reasons you can't fully explain, pulling away without knowing how to stop, or wondering if what you're feeling is this transition or something deeper, this episode meets you where you are. You'll learn: - Why the irritability and pulling away is hormonal and what your partner is experiencing on the other side of it - The difference between spontaneous and responsive desire and why understanding it changed everything for Tamsen's own marriage - What to actually say to your partner when you don't have the words yet - How to tell the difference between a relationship that needs attention and one that is genuinely over - What to hand your partner so you don't have to explain every piece of it yourself This episode is part of the How To Menopause series, where Tamsen goes deeper on each chapter of her book right here on the podcast.
