“Do women want to talk to their husbands about menopause?”
He almost didn’t post it. The next morning, Jesse Robertson at hesitantly asked a simple question online, expecting criticism, maybe even backlash. Instead, what came back was overwhelming support.
She thought she was losing her mind until conversations like this started opening the door to understanding what menopause and perimenopause actually feel like in real life.
At first, it wasn’t something people talked about. Many women felt overwhelmed, confused, and unsupported—often questioning whether what they were experiencing was “normal” or something they had to endure in silence.
But what came from that question changed everything.
Women responded in huge numbers: *yes, talk about this, we need this, we don’t have support, doctors aren’t always trained for this, and we’re trying to figure it out alone.*
And for Jesse, it shifted everything too.
What started as a single post quickly became a mission. As he learned more, he realized how many men—like him—were moving through life without any real understanding of what their partners were going through.
And that lack of understanding wasn’t neutral; it was affecting relationships, communication, and connection.
Through social media, he now shares what he learns in real time, helping millions of people every month find language for something that has too often been left unspoken.
Because sometimes support starts with one honest question.
And the realization that you can help someone feel less alone than they thought possible.
