How do I help him?

Question

Whenever my BF or SO or whatever needs some comfort, I never know how to help. I listen, I asked questions, I apologize, I'll even chip in my two cents time to time. It doesn't seems to work, I feel like such a failure to him. Last time I even made it worse by hurting his feelings, what can I do to be a better comfort?

Answer

Remember that you aren't in charge of his feelings. You can be ultra supportive and the best girlfriend ever, but sometimes people get stuck in there down days... Don't take it personally.
​I know that's easier said than done but seriously, do you best to provide comfort and hugs and kisses but realize that ultimately he is in charge of deciding to be happy. <3

Answer

Just listen. Don't add your opinion unless he asks for it.  Compliment him on something that you know he does well.  It will help boost him up.

Answer

Just be there. I have asked my fiancé the same question and he answered " just knowing you are there and that you love me is enough." They just want to know you are their partner and have their back 100%.

Answer

Everyone deals with things differently, I've had this same issue with my boyfriend. I'm more of an introvert and he's more of and extrovert so when he would ask me what was wrong I wouldn't want to talk about it, or if something was wrong with him I wouldn't know how to help. Just ask him what you can do, and if there really is nothing he wants for help just leave it at that! Don't push it you know? :)
