I'm not going to post under another account as I feel this should be in the open not hidden in any shape.

My wife is 48. She's bloody lovely but over the past year she's had the missed periods etc.

She's increasingly become more and more irritable with her tolerance of her work load and started shouting and swearing alot.

If I put a cup down on the floor next to the sofa (wooden floor) it's a huge thing.

Now I'm no Saint. I don't see an issue with leaving a used plate on the kitchen surface for more than 2 hours but it's a big thing, she is becoming more and more intolerant of very small things. I've tried talking to her tonight but been shouted down (with all our house windows open). It's grinding.

I've tried talking to her about it but I'm manipulative.

Anything she doesn't like is a big problem.

Where do we go from here?

I honestly feel torn between walking out and helping my wife.

We're in the same life phase. Mrs GG bought a weighted blanket after reading good things. Her sleep had been horrendously broken for so long but
immediately, and for the whole week now, she's slept through solidly under it. Only been a week but what a difference!
Hope something so simple can benefit others here!
where did you get it from?
