I want you to think about ONE man.
Your husband.
Your dad.
Your brother.
Your son.

โข When was the last time he laughed until he couldn't breathe?
โข When was the last time he spoke about HIS dreams instead of everyone else's needs?
โข When was the last time he rested without feeling guilty?
โข When was the last time someone asked HIM if he was okay...
and actually waited for the answer?
No lectures today.
No advice.
Just noticing.
Finish this sentence in the comments:
"๐ผ'๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐ก ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ผ ๐๐๐ฃ๐..."
..and let's see how many women recognise the same patterns.
Yesterday I watched a man loading shopping bags into his car - looked like they all had just come from Sunday brunch.
His children were laughing.
His wife was telling him another story from the supermarket.
He smiled.
Nodded.
Opened the boot.
Closed the boot.
Started the engine.
Anyone watching would have said, "๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ข ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฑ๐บ ๐ง๐ข๐ฎ๐ช๐ญ๐บ."
But I couldn't stop wondering...
Who asks him how he's doing?

We've become very good at asking men ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฎ ๐๐ค.
But very few of us ask who they are beneath the responsibilities.
Maybe because they've become so good at carrying everyone else.
This Men's Mental Health Month, we're beginning a different conversation.
โข Not about weakness.
โข Not about fixing men.
โข About seeing them.
