Supporting husband through tough time

How lovely that you have the urge to make his life easier. Continue to pursue that urge, and I think you will get confirmation and admiration just as you did as you wrote this post.

My advice is similar to what I do to make life for my man easier. Make him meals. Figure our what his favorite ones that you make are. Surprise him with a romantic evening. I surprised my boyfriend with a Friday the 13th movie night and completely transformed our basement while buying nothing new. All he said when he saw it was "oh what's all this?" I thought he may have thought I went over board for a simple movie night. Turns out, as he confessed to me in bed that night, he noticed every single detail, and it made him feel special and loved. So things like that. They may not outwardly react as much, but so appreciate all the little things we do.

I even do my boyfriend's laundry for him when work is too busy and his piles up. Again, it makes his life easier, and he appreciates it.

All this to say, I do not know your specific relationship or situation. Only you truly have the power you seek. I wish you all the best, and I pray for your husband to be released from the weight on him.

In addition to the already solid advice...

Express your appreciation for him. Acknowledge that you know he's working hard for you both and that you appreciate him. You can get into specifics here (your post is pretty vague) but I find that verbal affirmations make more of a difference than you would realize.

It depends on what he finds relaxing, soothing, or enjoyable! Sometimes relieving him of some of his tasks can help soothe the stress, like instead of him mowing the lawn I’ll schedule it to be serviced for the next month or two. Sometimes it means creating a dedicated space/time for him to unwind. Sometimes I cook his favorite meal or give him a back rub. Sometimes it’s as simple as working together in the same room (we both work from home), because I know that having the company makes him feel less alone, even if we’re both working silently.

I think the best thing is to anticipate his needs as best as we can :)

Listen to him if he needs it, chocolate chip cookies, or a bj, not to be crass, but they really seem to appreciate it.

THIS is a red pill woman who deserves to be provided for. This isn’t gold digging, it’s traditional. Thanks for being cool.

Title: Supporting husband through tough time

Full text: Concisely put, the weight of the world is bringing my husband down at the moment, and I'd love to hear some thoughts on ways I can support him through it. Men have a lot to shoulder and it's understandable that sometimes it can get on top of them. The thing is nothing has really changed for him to suddenly feel this way, and he even said he doesn't know why all of a sudden there's an issue. This makes me think that it could crop up again so I'd like to have clear ideas to fall back on.

As I started writing this my husband literally just came to me and thanked me for supporting him through how he's been today, but I still have felt like I've been muddling through and would love to hear ideas or things that have worked for you.
