I'm so sorry you're going through all this. The 40s can be a challenging time in the best of marriages with most women going through the perimenopause stage and when you're under a lot of stress it can amplify the symptoms. My dh and I went through this. I didn't know about the perimenopause stage and that it can last 10 years. I was a pain to live with and didn't realize it until we started having problems and started talking about it more. I didn't know why I wasn't my old self until I started reading up on the subject. On top of it, my adrenals are shot which makes my stress tolerance low and my energy level low and my symptoms worse.
Maybe you're going through it and he senses the change in you, but doesn't realize what's going on and interprets it as something else. There's a book called 'What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Perimenopause' if you want to learn more about it. I'm glad I did. It affects every woman differntly. Some breeze right through it, others struggle through it. Stress like you're going through can make it worse.
Have you considered counseling to help get to the bottom of things without it escalating into a fight? I hate to see a marriage end without giving it every chance to work.
I wish you the best and hope that things work out for you in the long run, whichever way it goes.
