EXCLUSIVE: Lucy Boulter, 53, was struggling with symptoms of perimenopause and feared her symptoms would impact on her relationship with her husband- so moved 250 miles away from him
Lucy Boulter, 53, is a communication consultant from the West Midlands and happily married to husband Ian, 59. When the perimenopause hit, she feared her symptoms would impact on their relationship – so she took the radical decision to move 250 miles away. Here, she tells her story…
At 47, I was at the height of perimenopause and I was scared – I didn’t recognise the person I was becoming. Insomnia and brain fog had really taken hold, not to mention these unexpected feelings of fury which came out of nowhere. It was terrifying because somehow, through it all, I still had to try and run my coaching business and keep my marriage as happy as it had been for the last 18 years. Ian and I had met at a wedding and we fell head over heels in love.
We’ve always been a tight team and have open conversations about everything, so it was inevitable he’d noticed changes in me too and was concerned. That’s when I knew I had to take action and protect him and our relationship from my menopause. Ian was really supportive when I told him of my plan. We love each other and trust each other, but we’re also our own people. We’ve never asked each other for permission to do things and know that we both want to go off by ourselves sometimes.
I now have a second wind in life too. I’m co-authoring a book about better communication and impact for women business owners, and I’ve set up a new business.
