Menopause can be a very difficult time in a woman's life, it can go on for years and it is often hard for women to find the support they need as they go through this life transition. Women can quite often be left feeling like they want more in life or have a gap that they need filling, especially if they have children who have flown the nest.
And one devastated woman has been consoled by people on the internet after admitting she had an affair, which she claims was partially caused by her menopause, destroying her marriage of 25 years. The divorcee, who is now in her 50's, detailed her experience to users of popular forum Mumsnet, saying she 'wanted to get her head straight.'
Headlining the post 'The outcome of my affair' the woman explained that two years ago she started engaging in an affair because she thought that she was bored with her life after her two adult children had left home. She found herself being 'swept off her feet' by a new person and left her husband of 25 years for him.
