As you continue or begin working towards a long and happy relationship, take the time to ask your partner for some details.
You won’t have to play psychologist and your significant other won’t suspect anything, because you’ll only have to ask two questions.
The first question is: “How can I support you?”
Firstly, the question itself makes you open to your partner’s needs, even if nothing has happened to him.
And you yourself can become the very person that he will need most in difficult times.
Your question will let him know that you hear him, value him, and care about his life.
And in general, you will be able to avoid unpleasant scenes when one person gives useless advice to another.
The second question is: “How can I help you?”
This is not a proactive action, but rather an attempt to solve a difficult problem, help achieve an important goal, or simply share life's difficulties and worries.
By asking this question, you will let your partner know that you care about his interests, ambitions, and plans for the future.
At the same time, do not forget to rejoice in his successes, which will also strengthen your relationship.
