Well done Michael. Nice to hear a man's voice in this space - and fairly rare, unless it's a male doctor mansplaining menopause (as happened to me once!) Good to be reminded of what this can look like from the other side of the fence 😊

Thank you, Dr. Connop! I read your comment to him and he appreciated it. You're right though - where are all the men and why aren't they talking about it (other than making jokes). This article was 100% his idea to help me celebrate reaching 1,000 subscribers. I had no idea what to expect from him and I was so touched. It's helped me to see things from his perspective.

Ah, this was beautiful! A lifeline extended from the 'black hole'.

This is so important to remember. We have a support buddy in our men.

Even if they feel clueless, so do we sometimes, okay lots of times when the brain fog kicks in. Amiright?

We know y'all are doing your best when it comes to being a support (just like in pregnancy).

I think showing our gratitude for that can go a long way.

We ARE in this together! 💯

So true! I had no idea he felt this way so it's given me a new appreciation for him and what that's like. Like I said in the article I forget he isn't a woman 🤣. I just think he knows everything I do.
