Menopause and Anger - Is it Simply Hormonal?

The question of what makes women angry is one many reflect on. There are plenty of things that tick us off and most times men attribute our anger to hormone related issues where they are concerned. Let's be honest. Sometimes that is exactly the case; after all it is a well known fact that changes in our hormones do affect us emotionally. Though it is also true that most times when we get mad, it is not just the hormones talkin'. So before you start consulting about treatment such as bioidentical hormone therapy you could ask yourself, what makes you mad? Here is a practical list a lot of guys might want to remember.

* Toilet seat: An all-time classic. Come on, guys! Is it so hard to put the toilet seat down?

* Saying women can't drive. There is something guys should understand. Women can do anything they set their minds and hearts to, just like men. Saying women are unable to do something makes them feel that you think they are less than men.

* Stating something like, "Honey, I'm hungry": Why is feeding men women's main obligation? Unless you want women to regard you as a child or pet, I would start becoming a little more active where getting and preparing food is concerned.

* Look at other women: Though a lot of women can understand this, many others can't, don't want to, and what's more, don't like it when you do this. You can sneak a peak, guys, but don't ogle and please, do avoid drooling. One more thing: never under any circumstances should you ask, "Why don't you look like that in a bathing suit?"

* Grunt and nod instead of using words: Women are talkative by nature, so it is no surprise that blocking the lines of communication is yet another thing men do to make women mad. Try to make an effort to use whole sentences and not recur to grunting nodding, or one-word answers. Communication is healthy in a relationship and as soon as men realize it is not exclusively a feminine feature, things will go much more smoothly.

* Jealousy: This can be a delicate, even serious issue. There is a healthy amount of jealousy and possessiveness in every relationship, but extremes are never healthy. Some men think it is their place to control and run their women's lives, and it is simply not their place or anyone else's for that matter. Women don't like this. Guys with this kind of attitude should start loosening the reigns and trusting their women.

Being angry for whatever the reason is never good. The secret to any healthy relationship is for men and women to open up, have a healthy level of confidence, be faithful, and treat each other as equals.
