8. Paint an Honest Picture
The information you give must be honest and truthful. You know that menopause is not as bad as the sitcoms make it out to be, but you also know that portraying menopause as a walk in the park is inaccurate, too. You have the challenging task of walking a fine line between fact and fiction. Sticking to the truth is always a smart decision, and the truth is that you do not know what is around the bend. Your symptoms could be fleeting or very intense for an extended period of time. This honesty further solidifies your significant other as a supporter. Lying or omitting details is a fantastic way to build a foe.
Common symtpoms of menopause include hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Estrogen replacement therapy can help with this. Learn more here.
