Will Our Marriage Survive Perimenopause?

Will Our Marriage Survive This?

They both thought about leaving. Not each other. Themselves.

David sat in his car in the driveway one night and didn't know if he had anything left. Judy thought about walking away from her own marriage to escape a version of herself she didn't recognize.

Neither one told the other for years. In this episode, Judy and David pull the real divorce statistics for couples in perimenopause, and they're heavier than most people expect. Then they get into the two nights neither of them has talked about publicly.

David's night in the car. Judy's decision to stay quiet about wanting to leave. And the one thing that actually determined whether their marriage survived: not love, not how strong things were before, but information, and what they did with it.

Doctors never told them this. This episode is them telling you. If you've lain awake wondering whether your marriage is going to survive perimenopause, or if you've thought about leaving and didn't know how to say it out loud, this episode is for you.
