Men also do get upset. The challenge comes in when trying to comfort them as most of them do not express themselves the way women do. This might be because they do not want others to know they are upset or unhappy.
Here are five tips on how to comfort your boyfriend.
1. Offer support
Remember you fell in love and assured each other to be together despite the tough situations. This is the right time to show him you truly care about his feelings. To offer your man support, you can listen to him, offer positive advise or even give him some space.
2. Don't jump into conclusions
Once you realise that your partner is upset, do not take it personally. Avoid making him feel bad about how he responds to different situations as this might make him more defensive.
3. Point out his strengths
When your partner is upset, avoid talking about his flaws, weaknesses or the mistakes he made a long time ago. Appreciate the good deeds he has always done and show him you really value him despite what he is going through.
4. Throw a surprise
Giving your boyfriend a reason to smile such as writing him a short love message or a poem goes a long way in reminding him you still love him despite what he is going through. You can also cook him his favourite meal or treat him to a movie he has always wished to watch.
5. Be his best friend
This is not the time to bring in complains or distance yourself from him instead, this is the crucial moment when he needs you in whatever he does or wishes to do. Remember he chose you since he saw a future in you as his partner.
