Don’t believe the hype gentlemen. You don’t have to spend loads of money on someone; in fact you don’t even need to have a “someone”.
If your valentines experience is a crap one and it’s doing your head in, you can talk to CALM.
Whether it’s the constant bombardment to do something good enough, a messy break up or a bit of (well-known but often unspoken amongst men) heart ache / heart break that’s getting you down, just pick up the phone and tell us what’s bothering you.
Having a chat, when you’ve been denied one for so long, can give you a new perspective on everything. You don’t have to tell us your name or your address, just get it off your chest and get your head sorted.
In age of skewed equality, it’s entirely forgotten that men need an outlet too – but we’ll listen to what you have to say and give you some good quality support and information to boot.
CALM’s helpline is free, anonymous, confidential, and open Saturday to Tuesday, 5pm to 12am. The website’s here for you 24/7.
