This last few days has been extremely tough around the home front. My husband who is usually a "manly man" and rarely shows emotions is stressed to the max. He has two family members sick with cancer and his job is adding more and more pressures on him.
I am about at my wits end trying to comfort/support him. Any suggestions?

Hi there,
Sorry to hear that you have had some stressful moments with this. I would suggest to calmly sit and speak to him one day. I do realize that he will perhaps not want to take time out, therefore, what usually I suggest is that when you do you say, I would like to discuss my issue. See when we approach a mate and or loved one and say I have a problem with you and or how you do... What happens is that they get defensive. Therefore, explain on how hard it is for you, that he does not speak to you and take time out to explain what is bothering him. Let him know that you want to make between the two of you easier and you can't if he is not letting you know.
I do hope he hope you both can calmly discuss, if anything else know that myLot is a great place to vent, where many are always willing to listen.
Happy Friday to you my friend.

Thanks gurl! I will try your suggestions! It's just a tough time and I know we will get through it. We've had this in the past a few times. He just doesn't handle stress well at all!

Just do your best to be there for him. Tell him you are here in case he wants to talk. All the pressure can just be too much sometimes. Good luck and take care.

Thanks. I just needed to hear someone coach me a little. It's hard because he hardly ever shows emotions and then now it's anger, tears, anger, tears. It's a roller coaster around here!

The husbands are being very cool in the house can make their home like heaven.
They have to forget all the office problem in the home.
They have to think about family members only, but it is not so simple.
You can do this in some ways:
Give a hot hot superb coffee to him.
Play his favorite songs.
And make his sleep so comfortable.
If anything not so important things are there, you can talk them in the early morning.
