Be honest. How many times have you asked "are you PMSing?" without knowing a thing about her period or what her body actually goes through every month?

Most men have done it. We had too.

This is the episode where two married men admit how little we knew about periods, PMS, and the monthly reality our partners live with.

Preet grew up watching his mother sit alone in a room. Untouchable. Kept out of the kitchen and the temple. Neither of us was ever sat down and told what a period actually is.

So we did the thing men are taught never to do. We asked. Our wives, our sisters, our families. One conversation ran ninety minutes, and we realised we had been getting almost everything wrong.

In this episode:

The difference between PMS and the actual cycle, because they are not the same thing

The four phases every man should understand

The cultural and religious shame South Asian men inherit around periods

Why she often doesn't want you to fix it, she wants you to sit with her

How this one topic quietly damages a marriage when nobody talks about it

No lecture. No therapy-speak. Just two men, uncomfortable and honest, having the conversation we should have had twenty years ago.

She's not crazy. We were just never told.

If you are a woman who has wished he understood, send this to him. If you are a man, listen, then ask her what she knows.

Men don't talk. Until now.

New episode every other Thursday.
