I’m scared

My wife is on the other side of the door crying after a wonderful day (as I’m typing this). Every part of me wants to scream but I know it’s not what I should do.

“She needs me” plays over and over and over in my head...but I’m scared I will say or do something (not malicious) that will make things worse. Help. (Just send me a direct message. I just need to talk to someone about anything)

Sometimes just listening is the best medicine.

Just hold her until she wants to talk

You are one of the good guys.

It's really scary when you don't know what to do to help.

Just be.

Just be there for her.

Reassure her with your presence and just hold her.

Tell her you love her. Just that.

I'm glad you posted here. You need some support too.

Sending virtual hugs.
