As promised, this is my first "in conversation" episode with a partner of a menopausal woman. Jonathan is the husband of Emma Guy who features in episode 11 sharing her story of her breast cancer journey and surgical menopause.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Jonathan is honest about how difficult it was to offer support when Emma was diagnosed and went through her treatment.

• His focus was totally on Emma but that he received no support himself. This is the first conversation Jonathan has ever had about this difficult time.

• His thoughts on how his physical relationship with Emma has changed

BEST MOMENTS

• How a positive mindset and being ‘The Anorak” helped him cope.

• How Emma’s anger is one of the most challenging menopause symptoms that they deal with and how he manages it.

• Some simple advice for every man.
