Making your better halves happy

Kapitan_Phillips · 02-15-08, 08:33 PM

I'm sorry if this is a rather personal question, but I need some advice, as my lassie is going through a tough time right now.

What do you guys do, to cheer your women up?

How long is a piece of string?

Buy her a male cheerleader. Rah rah. :p

Scratch that. Buy her a Mercedes.

There's nothing else for it.

If it's something like depression, there are times when there are no words that can express the comfort you want to give to that person and the best thing to do is to say nothing and simply be there next to them. That's really the best one can do in that sort of situation.

Would you mind enlightening us more, KP?

Just be there for her.

If you two have children together, pamper her by doing the housework she usually does. Start giving her time to herself on her hobby. My wife can sit for hours reading a book while I tend to the kids.

my bosslady has had some tough times whilst overseas.

i've just told her exactly the same thing i've told her when shes here and doing it tough.

1: smile, it helps you feel better

2: i got a big set of shoulders to cry on and failing that, satellite dishes for ears to listen with.

Are you married? If not she may want a ring. If you are married maybe she wants little ones. Women are fickle creatures but we can't live without them.

Seriously though, a lot of times a major change of pace helps. If you have the money plan a vacation trip or something where the two of you can get some away time together. Sometimes it doesn't even have to be fancy, women like those bed and breakfast places (but those are hard to book sometimes). You're in the UK right? Maybe a quick plane flight to a warmer climate would help. Me, I take her to Las Vegas or my folks place in Florida. It is amazing how 4 or 5 days away from home and worries can recharge the batteries.

Good advice... in an ancient song...

Chin up, to you and your bonnie-lass.

Kapitan_Phillips · 02-16-08, 01:28 AM

Thanks guys, no, we're not married yet (bit young for that :p) and its not really a serious thing. She's a little sick right now and feeling a bit down because of it. I wish I could get over this damned ocean to be there

Stealth Hunter · 02-16-08, 01:32 AM

Over the ocean?

Where the bloody-hell are you, KP?
