I need help. please. My boyfriend is beginning a business and has huge pressure on him to succeed due to his current financial/living situation. Reassurance like “you’re doing great“ does not work because in reality things are not okay and he has no time to waste so he hates hearing that. I can’t figure out how to help his stress and he expresses that I need to figure him out because he can’t tell me how to do that himself. talking about his problems doesnt work and just reminds him of it all. giving him space makes it worse because he has to deal with it himself. offering to help doesn’t work because he says I need to be my own person. I’m so lost and I feel like the answer is right in front of my face but I’m just dumb. How can I help his stress? he says he just wants me to be there, give him momentum and encouragement but HOW I need to understand from a man’s perspective. he also prefers to problem solve when he comes into issues rather than wait. my main problem is dealing over text. in person I feed him or hug but we don’t live together submitted by /u/Clear_Grass_1855
