what do u do when you and your boyfriend are going through a rough time, not because you or him but because of his mother? I have to watch him cry all the time and he doesnt usually cry about anything and the past week since i havent seen him all i do is hear him cry weather he thinks i can hear it in his voice or not. He says all we can do is pray about it but how do i help him in the meantime??

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Just be there for him, show him that you're gonna stand by him no matter what he's feeling.
How long have you been together? Just out of interest.

yeah... loved took what i was gonna say.
make yourself available and be there for him.
whatever it is, he doesnt need to go through it alone.
just the knowledge that he has your support and that you are there for him can lift him.
you cant save people from their testimony.... but you can be with them while they go through it so to see they arent alone. and rest assured, he will come through it, and remember that love never fails, and love conquers all. love always finds a way.

My SO is going through some similar things... and the above advice is absolutely important. Being encouraging, prayerful(!), gracious, and open to just being there... even if that means being silent and letting him use your ear and shoulder...

I hate in when my boyfriend is going through a rough time and I feel helpless to help him. However, he has said that in those time just being there for him and him having the knowledge and knowing that I'm praying for him is a wonderful hencouragement and helps him emensley.

I agree, the best thing you can do for a guy or gal is just to support them, listen to them if they open up, and if and only if its appropriate offer some caring and careful advice. But often that requires being asked for advice in the case of a guy. But yeah listen and support and encouragement are important, and of course prayer is the best thing you can do.

Be there, listen. Let him know you are there. Pray with him. My bf and I have problems in our lives with seperate things and have learned to support each other and always make the other feel better!
