Supporting Partner

Explain that because you love him so much you WANT to be there to be helpful and supportive of what he is going through and him pushing you away is upsetting you. Tell him you love him enough to stand by him through anything and if he loves you he will accept your help on this and not be so dang independent.

If you really need to support your partner, or family you need to be there for them, understanding according what he need not just say yes in a minute but still your not beside them, pushing them more in thier grave. also be friendly to them because your a friend also not only a partner.

My husband has learned that he can come to me when he has a problem, and I've always known that I can come to him when I have a problem. I have explained to him and he understands that I suffer more when I FEEL that he has a problem, not knowing what it is, than I do when I know what the problem is. When I know what it is, I know what we are up against. If I don't know what it is, I tend to plan for the worst case senario.

i will ask him about his problem but if he dont want to answer i will not force him to say. i will tell him that i love you and i am always with you and give him a hug :)

Find the right timing when he is in good mood and explain to him that you are his partner and that this is the reason that you should go with this things together. Tell him that as a partner you will work as a team and in a team there is no I, likewise there is also no I in partner. Tell him that you have seen how much he loves you by his actions and his cares, and you should also be given the chance to show your love by sharing his problems to you and you helping in return to ease the burden. If on the first approach, he doesn't listen, just keep the door open. What I mean is tell him that you are always there to listen and lend your helping hand....
