Men-No-Pause

This month saw the third running of our successful men-only programme. I love helping men to better understand menopause so they can support their partners on this journey.

One of the participants said that getting to know me through our networking, he had already learnt so much about menopause and was able to help his partner to see what was happening to her. He came along to learn even more and especially some practical tips to open that conversation. One of the big reminders for him was respecting his partner’s experiences.

Another man was completely new to menopause and came along because his partner had told him “You need to do this”. One of his big learnings was understanding the terminology and what each stage of the menopausal transition meant. He felt he had much more knowledge.

Whilst another attendee talked openly about how he and his partner were arguing more often, and how their perspectives of a situation were clashing when they hadn’t in the past. Just gaining the understanding that his words can very easily be heard out of context depending on how his partner was feeling was a light bulb moment. In our discussion around what not to say and how to diffuse an angry situation, he took lots of notes and acknowledged that he maybe had said those things or reacted in a way that made the situation worse.

Simply being able to step aside and view our role in a situation from the outside, can make all the difference to how we proceed. Learning to respond from a place of compassion rather than reacting can make such a difference as your partner transitions through menopause.
