Martin, yes, men don't go through it, but they do suffer from it.

Curious, I knew a woman who attacked her man with edged weapons, several who left home, some permanently, and some who were very reasonable in the process.
It's all part of life's adventure.

It lasted about 2 years for my wife, and she was one of the reasonable ones, although fairly feisty normally. She was very tearful. It did leave her with a tendency to migranes, which she never had before.
