Okay, I’ve been with my partner for 5 love to death so so so so great. Love beyond words it’s amazing how much I love my partner who will likely see this but I’m at my wits end and I know better and I know I should just communicate to them. I am not struggling with any of that I am struggling with how I do better !!!!! I can say things but I need some real advice on how to be a better partner. Most specifically in the emotional department. My partner is going through a hard time having lost a very very close grandparent and I have never been super close to mine so I am at a bit of disconnect and having lost my best friend at 15 I have kinda of compartmentalized some stuff… yeah need to work on that I know. I am having a hard time connecting and feeling and supporting my partner through this period and through the impending passing of my partners grandmother here in the very very near future. How when my partner is struggling with this potential can I support them properly. I do not feel like I am doing a good job I am being told I am but I know myself and I know I can be better just how!!!! I know dumb but please any decent advice would be helpful here. Basically looking for tips and advice when my partner is feeling down or venting to me about how I can engage properly.
