Simon… Thank you for this. I really appreciate the way you stayed with that line, "It's not happening to her, it's happening through her," and gave it more space to unfold. There’s something in how you’ve expressed it here that makes it easier to step into, especially for men trying to understand their place in all of this without feeling like they have to fix it.
It feels like a natural continuation of our conversation, not just a reflection of it. I’m really glad we did this together. It feels like an important conversation to keep opening.
Simon, this is such an insightful piece. (No surprise when it is coming from you and inspired by words from the incredibly wise Linda Cooper!) That subtle shift in preposition - from "to" to "through" - makes all of the difference. I am sure I am not the only one who is so grateful for the emphasis you place on walking through this menopausal journey as a team. As a shared experience. My guess is that couples that approach this time of life with a commitment to partnership will come out even stronger on the other side.

It really did stay with me and I wanted to show what that means for men. It was a great conversation.
