Greetings,

Well seeing as Mamono cherish their husband above any other considerations they would of course stop him from self harming.

In general terms in real life when someone has hurt themselves or is even considering the act of hurting themselves we take that very seriously. The first step would be therapy if the threat of harm is seen as a  possibility. We would do a preliminary consult to get an understanding of how the person thinks, how they feel, their overlaying identity.

Then over the course of therapy sessions we would try to identify why exactly the person wants to/or feels the need to self harm. (Usually people self harm because they want to assert control over their lives when they feel powerless, or as a reation to outside stimuli such as trauma or loss.) If we can find the reason for the patient's self harming behavior, we are oftentimes able to put a stop to it by directing them towards healthier outlets for their feelings.

Self Harm is most often symptomatic of a large issue at hand and not just the act itself. So watching for behavior changes is key. Of course during this time the patient would be monitored around the clock 24/7 to make sure he doesn't attempt to hurt himself again or attempt suicide since suicidal recurrence is common.

A spouse will most likely be asked about any unusual behaviors the patient may have exhibited, problems at work, financial issues, anger or depression.

(Alright that's probably way more indepth information than you wanted to know, now onto the Mamono side of things.)

So in the case of a Mamono's husband self harming I would recommend they go to the appropriate medical facilities. A Mindflayer could delve into the afflicted man's mind and discover the source of what is causing him to hurt himself.

This might be more in depth than what you were asking but Psychology is my field of expertise and suicide is a serious issue. We are trained in how to deal with patients who display suicidal ideation and come up with preventative care plans.

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask and if anyone reading this has suicidal thoughts please call your area's suicide prevention line.
