What if the happiest couples in midlife are the ones with separate homes and zero guilt.

Why are so many women—especially in midlife—saying “yes” to love, but “no thanks” to marriage? From empty nesters to new divorces, a growing number of women are choosing Living Apart Together—intimacy without cohabitation, commitment without the contract. Is this the future of love—or just a new flavor of fear? In this episode, the Menopause Love Lounge Ladies unpack the truth about freedom, partnership, and what it really means to love on your own terms.

In this episode...

🎙️ Loop 1 — Personal Perspectives

Up first, we’re getting personal. Each of us is sharing where we really stand on marriage right now—because after menopause, the story changes.

💬 Loop 2 — Stats & Culture

Next, we’re zooming out. From Gwyneth Paltrow to Jack Wagner to that whole ‘soft marriage’ trend on TikTok—clearly, the rules of love are changing. We’ve got the stats and the stories to prove it.

💥 Loop 3 — Game: Caring, Commitment, or Cop-Out

And to wrap it up—we’re playing a new game called Caring, Commitment, or Cop-Out. Think quick-fire debates on all the new rules of modern love.

And so much more...

When it comes to pleasure, most conversations fall into two categories: Sex gets worse after menopause Or Women in midlife are having the best sex of their lives.

But let’s be real, for a lot of us, orgasms do not come easily, especially through intercourse. Some of us weren’t taught how our bodies actually work. We learned to perform pleasure instead of feeling it. We faked it to fit in, to please, to protect and somewhere along the way, we stopped seeing our own sexual needs as sacred.

Then menopause shows up and everything we’ve quietly carried starts getting louder. The frustration. The pressure. The “I should be able to do this” stories.

Not because menopause took something...but because it finally asked us to pay attention.

This week inside the Menopause Love Lounge, we are having the conversation most women never get to have. We break down why orgasms shift in midlife, what is actually happening to your libido, and how pleasure can expand when you stop chasing a goal and start listening to your body. The ladies open up about desire changes, mental load, partner pressure, toys, lubrication, and the emotional layers that make climax feel complicated.

We talk about what is normal, what is solvable, and what is absolutely possible for women in their forties, fifties and beyond. You deserve pleasure that feels real, connected, honest and fully yours again.

Join us in the Lounge and be part of the conversation that every woman deserves but has never been invited to.

Welcome to the Menopause Love Lounge—where we get real, raw, and unapologetic about being a woman in midlife. We’re redefining intimacy, identity, and relationships—one juicy, unfiltered conversation at a time.

Share your experience in the comments. What has changed for you in midlife and what are you ready to reclaim?

Menopause is not killing the vibe. It is helping us choose better, love deeper, and date with more confidence than ever.

Some of us are dating again.

Some are redefining love inside long marriages.

And some have decided they’d rather sleep diagonally across the whole damn bed.

Menopause changes everything — our hormones, our confidence, our desires. But it also gives us permission to rewrite the rules.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to find, keep, or completely re imagine love in midlife — from dating apps and second chances to long-term intimacy that still sparks.

In this episode...

1. How can embracing "healthy selfishness" transform your dating life after 50?
2. What are the benefits of non-traditional relationships, like living apart together, for women over 50?
3. Why is it important to manage your energy and mindset when engaging in online dating?

And so much more...

DON'T FORGET TO TAKE OUR POLL:

If you're feeling the chemistry on the first date, do you go for the kiss or do you keep it classy and wait?

A. Kiss me now

B. Life's too short

C. Nope, let them earn it.
