‘When we met we were both forty. My marriage was over but his was a daily trial without a future. Now he has shed twelve pounds, looks great and his career is on the up. We have fun, we travel and the six children we have between us get on fabulously.’
Diana, survivor’s second wife, London.
It has been observed by some sociologists that the rate of divorce around the forty age group is inordinately high in percentage terms when compared with other age groups. Of course this is not due exclusively to the male-menopause but the male-menopause may well have a lot to do with it. Divorce is just one of the many reactions of M-M men as they seek change.
By this age both husband and wife will have developed strong, individual values and if they married when between twenty and twenty-five, now around fifteen years later, there is no reason why they should have matured along the same lines. Some will have naturally grown closer together but many will have developed different values and needs compared to those of their earlier years. Sexlife may have become routine, spasmodic and not very exciting.
Although there is no statistical proof, through observation it has been concluded that at this age menopausal men seek divorce in order to start again, specifically, to remarry. (The majority of non-menopausal men divorcing seem to prefer to enjoy their new found freedom rather than remarry at the earliest opportunity.)
