Except that Sophia, as an intelligent woman, only has to look in the mirror to know she not only hasn't "lost it" but has a lot more of "it" than the majority of career women her age & with her responsibilities. [Believe me, when you actually lose it in RL, you know & I'm male]. There's been far too much made of Liam's lack of attention IMO. They've been married for the best part of 20 years & that's long past the 'romance' phase of any relationship. Put simply, they're not kids anymore, despite Sophia acting like a 17-year old in the last update.
It's more "realistic", (if any realism still exists in AWAM), to think of Sophia as someone who has a particular weakness for flattery & will follow her own selfish urges, once she's stopped with the tired old, "this is so wrong but why does it feel so right? 3D porn thoughts & that she's more concerned with her own pleasure than she is with, maybe, talking to Liam about how she feels. It shouldn't be all down to her husband & I'm speaking as no Liam fan.
I surmise that with the age of most fans being on the young side & the Dev himself being in his mid-30s, that the menopause is not something that receives much consideration. Its early onset might have been a better explanation for Sophia's behaviour, as the psychological effects can take many forms & can sometimes be extreme. Unfortunately there's nothing sexy about it, so I can well understand why it is nowhere in the story & will probably remain so.
