How Men Can Support Their Partner Through Menopause | Emotional Conversations with Melvyn Anthony
Season -2 Episode 7
In this powerful and heart-opening episode of The Daily Life Hero – The Inconvenient Truth, I sit down with Melvyn Anthony – trainer, mindset & resilience coach, and deeply devoted husband – to talk about what it really means to emotionally support your partner through perimenopause and menopause.
Melvyn vulnerably shares how watching his wife Abby struggle with brain fog, anxiety, sudden tears, and extreme fatigue became the turning point that led him to educate himself, listen more deeply, and show up with presence instead of fixing. From holding her while she cries, to simply driving in silence while gently holding her hand, Melvyn shows us how small, consistent gestures can completely transform a relationship.
Together, we explore:
Why menopause is a transition, not a life sentence
The common misconceptions men and women hold about this phase
Why “it’s not about you” is a crucial mindset for male partners
How men can emotionally regulate themselves so they can be a safe place for their partners
Simple, powerful practices to build inner resilience in uncertain times
Why self-awareness and inner work (The Ultimate Quest – You Deserve to Know You) are the foundations of authentic relationships
If you’ve ever thought:
“I don’t understand what she’s going through…”
“Why am I crying when nothing is wrong?”
“I want to help, but I don’t know how…”
…this conversation is for you.
🔑 Key Takeaways
Presence is medicine: Sometimes the most healing thing you can do is hold her, say nothing, and let her feel what she feels.
It’s not personal: Lack of intimacy, irritability, or withdrawal are often symptoms – not rejection.
Men’s support changes everything: When men learn how to be emotionally present, they support not only their partners, but themselves, their families, and their future relationships.
Inner work is non-negotiable: Knowing yourself, your values, your beliefs, and your patterns is the key to resilience and authentic love.
