How I Handle My Partner’s Fear Head-On

Last night, I caught myself overthinking after my girlfriend made another joke about me leaving her. It hit a nerve, but I know where it’s coming from. Here’s what’s helped me support her without losing myself: • I check in with her, even if it’s just a quick “How’s your day?” • Patience matters. She opens up in her own time, and I try not to push. • When she’s being hard on herself, I gently call it out and remind her she’s amazing. • I’m honest about my own feelings—even the tough ones—so she always knows where I stand. I’ve realized I can’t fix everything, but I can show up, listen, and remind her she’s loved. Anyone else dealing with something like this?
