Scenario

When male friendships struggle with midlife health realities

Three of us from college have all hit our mid-40s dealing with serious health stuff — diabetes, high blood pressure, depression — and when we get together we either pretend everything's fine or compete about who's managing it better. We used to be able to talk about anything but this feels too heavy and too real.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Lifelong friendships face a crisis when vulnerability about aging and health challenges the established dynamics of connection and masculine identity.
