So earlier tonight my submissive was really stressed out and she said she was going to cry. So naturally I wanted to comfort her and make her feel better. But sometimes I don’t know what to say or I feel like what I’m saying is not really helping. I’ve told her before I’m not good at comforting long distance and she said she understands. But I still try my best to do something.

I feel like I was trying to make light of the situation and was inconsiderate about how she really felt. She then proceeded to say “I don’t think I’m fine” and hasn’t replied. She isn’t suicidal or anything like that so I’m not worried there. But I feel like I fucked up. I’m pretty sure in the morning she’s going to act like nothing happened or if I ask she will say she’s okay.

What’s the best thing to do? How can I handle situations like this better? I want to be there for her but don’t know how.

She has also said that she doesn’t expect anything Bc she doesn’t know either what I can do long distance. This makes me feel like I can’t do jack shit. But I still want to be there for her. Should I just give her time alone?
