My Menopause Blog

What can I say - it was like we’d slept together forever.

Yes, Gus (poorly photographed here because after one photo, my camera conked out and by the time the batteries were recharged, the ambiance of the morning after was gone) had all the moves of a man who knew when to snuggle and when to back off his perpetually flashing bedmate. He snored - but in the cutest way for the shortest time. He farted - once - which is totally forgivable. And he did not hog the bed.

He did not give me attitude despite my tossing and turning, several times burying him in the heavy duvet. After each midnight run to the bathroom, I returned to find him in the same place that I left him. In fact, my mood did not swing once in the several hours of bed sharing - even when he woke me - big eyed and bushy tailed at 7am.

So it’s not that he provided actual menopause relief but instead he did not add to the nightmarish nocturnal menopause symptoms. Yes - wee Gus remained sweet, loving and supportive.
