S02.E01 - Mik Part 1: You wasted her time

In this episode (You wasted her time), I explore the feelings that stem from trying to be strong amidst a pandemic and after the #GeorgeFloyd murder. I talk to a friend, who's been married for 5 years, and examine his journey towards marriage and how he and his wife have navigated challenging times.  We discuss the pressure that men feel to be strong for their partner and family, especially during an inflection point around social justice issues. We explain why men typically feel like they have to take on burdens and choose not to share. We talk about how women can reinforce vulnerable actions by men to help create a bigger space for communication. We break down the decision to break up with someone you really care about and the risks that come with it. We also explore the mental state of men when making considerations to someone to be his girlfriend versus to be his wife. Help support the podcast so it can continue to give you quality content.
