My boyfriend has been feeling very unhappy with his job situation. He sent me a message yesterday that he feels so unhappy and stressed out. He has been applying for new jobs, after working the whole day. What is the best way to support him? I became very needy of him a couple of weeks ago, crying to him as he has become focused. He said he was sorry but he needed to focus. He said that I don't support him. I have started to give him space and things have improved but he is not as attentive as he used to be?

If he is feeling very unhappy, and he doesn't give up, falling into depression, you must consider his need to focus is very sane. He is giving a fight. He is brave. He will solve it. What you have to do is to understand his
transitory situation, be patient, don't bother him with your crying and needs. Be kind with him, understanding, and if you can, help him to get the new job he wants.

you need to give him space honey. that's the way it works. when a man feels stressed over work, he would tend to neglect the things and people around him. trust me, give him some space and wait for things at work to improve. in the meantime, do what you normally would do, get some girlfriends out for shopping and lunch. He'll appreciate it as he knows he wouldn't have to worry about you. that's the way you should show him care - to let him know you're happy and he doesn't have to worry for you. i have to add that it's so sweet of you to actually be so stressed up over your boyfriend's problem. don't worry, things will get better soon. cheer up!

Well, it doesn't matter how stressed I get about anything in life. When I'm down and my girl is there for me, that makes me soooo happy. When I got to the point I couldn't stand my job anymore, my girl just told me it didn't matter, that whatever I wanted to do she would back me up. That's all it took for me to feel better. But I cared about her and nothing else. I don't care about my car, my job, the toys I have, my house. Just love. But that's me.

let him know that you are behind him all of the way. encourage him to keep looking and that the right job door will open for him soon. waiting is the hardest part...when he gets a new job, more than likely he will start getting calls from all of the other places he applied.
just be there for him and be positive for him
also if you believe in God...pray together until his answer comes
be cool...

Sounds like he is bummed out over this job situation. I bet he changes a lot when he finds a better job.

yes he is feeling low, let him know you will support him in whatever endeavor he decide to take, express to him how you feel and the both of you need to decide what you all can do to get pass this.

just talk to him and keep expressing that you've given him space and you'll do anything to support him - show it - guys won't get it unless it's done through actions
