MISSING OUT OR FEELING CHEATED – IRRITABILITY; AGGRESSION
Because of his discontentment with his lot a menopausal man’s temper is often on a short fuse. He behaves in an irritable manner, his temper flaring up at the smallest provocation. The irritability is irrational and unintentional. Bad moods may last many hours. Best defensive action is to avoid him as he will take out his temper tantrum on anyone near him. If however you are the man in question, take yourself away. Go for a walk, take in a movie. Enjoy the solitude of your own company until the irrational irritability passes.
In his observations a London analyst concludes that whereas one might cynically accuse old people who in their last years turn to religion of doing so from superstition, preparing for heaven rather than hell, menopausal men turn to religion purely for the emotional pillar and support it affords them. Renewed faith assists them through life. In their prayers they ask for help, indulgence, direction and generosity that they might sort out the muddle of their lives and fulfil life’s obligations satisfactorily and, if possible, to turn their lives to better use. To change. Faith gives a feeling that in some secure way their lives are being protected. Without God’s help they feel impotent about effecting change.
