After confessing her marriage ended over menopause, a journalist has been "inundated" with stories of husbands who also couldn't cope with the hormonal impact experienced by their wives.
Writing for the Daily Mail, Ulrika Jonsson shared: "Last weekend I opened my heart to readers of this paper about the terrible impact the menopause has had on my physical and mental health, and how my husband - from whom I'm now separated - seemed unable to grasp what I was going through, adding to the pressures on our relationship.
"Five days on I'm still being inundated with messages from women telling me how they have suffered."

For many women, the effects of menopause can include memory problems, anxiety, insomnia and crippling exhaustion.
