Cupid’s Advice:
Sometimes in a hard situation, less is more. Â 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. Â Here are some tips:
1. Listen: Hear all that he has to say, and pay attention to how he acts as well. Â If he’s the type of person who needs space, give him some. Â 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. Â 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. Â 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.
