What can I do to cheer DP up.

[magoria]

Lots of sudden redundancies at his work last week he was one of the lucky! ones that are still there.

It has hit him quite hard and I would love suggestions on how to cheer him up a little (apart from the obvious) when I see him at the weekend.

It's the little things that count.

Greet him with a smile, looking straight into his eyes and then tell him you love him and how hard it must be to see others he works with not being saved.

You can get in the little things he likes like drink, nibbles etc and maybe devote time to you both going somewhere he'd like.

what does your DP like?

suggestion: when my DP had a tough days/week he likes to be taken care of. Coming home to a clean house and a meal prepared with care and love, having time for himself on the computer, being able to talk about how he feels, on those days I become his mama and he becomes a little boy. I'm mindful not to give advice unless he asks for it and not to give him any chore (if possible) so he has time to process what he is going through. He does the same for me when I have a tough time.

as Magoria said its the little things tha count.
