Cupid’s Advice:

Sometimes in a hard situation, less is more.  By letting your partner know that you’re there with an open ear and a shoulder to lean on may be all that he needs to hear.  Here are some tips:

1. Listen: Hear all that he has to say, and pay attention to how he acts as well.  If he’s the type of person who needs space, give him some.  If he needs a comforting touch, oblige!

2. Be there and mean it: Ultimately, let your partner know that you’re there for him anytime he needs to talk, and then don’t let him down.  When you get that call, make sure you give him all of your attention.

3. Know your role: Depending on how long you and your partner have been together, it may determine how much of a supporting role you play during his tough time.  If you just started seeing each other, don’t be surprised when he takes a little longer to open up to you and goes to his parents or friends first.
