What can I do to cheer up my upset partner?

It's great that you want to support your partner! Here are a few activities you could try: a cozy movie night, a walk in nature, or cooking their favorite meal together.

What if they don't feel like doing anything?

If they're not up for activities, just being there for them can be comforting. You could sit together, listen to music, or simply talk about what's bothering them.

Should I give them space instead?

Giving space can be helpful, but it's important to check in. You could let them know you're there for them whenever they're ready to talk or engage.

What if they want to talk but I don't know what to say?

You can start by asking open-ended questions about how they're feeling. Sometimes just listening and validating their feelings can be the best support.

Thanks! I feel more prepared to help them now.

You're welcome! It's wonderful that you want to be there for your partner. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need more ideas!
