Gary Brecka offers tongue-in-cheek advice for men with wives in menopause: apologize for waking up, avoid bodily noises, keep dishes out of the sink, and put folded laundry away. It's playful exaggeration about navigating a partner's menopausal transition.
Here's my advice for menopause. If you're a man and your wife is in menopause, as soon as you wake up in the morning, say you're sorry. Say you're sorry just for waking up because you probably did it wrong. I probably did it wrong. Maybe you moved the bed too much when you got out of bed. Maybe your feet hit the floor so hard that it was rude and inconsiderate. We're like bears.
Or it just seems like a normal giant children that are just loud and messy.
Definitely don't burp. No, don't fart. Don't leave dirty dishes in the sink. If you wash the laundry and fold the laundry, put it back where it belongs, not in the wrong place. So yes, you can wash the laundry, you can fold the laundry, and you can put it back where it doesn't belong, and everything is wrong.
