In reply to hubby upset about work - how to be supportive?, posted by JenStar on May 13, 2005, at 1:09:27
I think what Tamar said is also true of my husband, often.
When he does want to talk, I listen and say enough to let him know I've understood.
I also do some of the things he usually does around the house, telling him that I know he's got so much to handle.
I don't know, really. I guess I follow his lead and try the things I would want him to do for me...
And try not to get overly upset if he shoots me down.
Have you tried asking him what you can do to make things easier for him?
