8. Support each other in difficult moments
Being able to count on your partner in the most difficult moments of life has invaluable value. Supporting the other is something we do spontaneously and selflessly: it's human. However, we don't always do it in the right way! It is not rare for empathetic people to absorb the emotions of the other, which does not necessarily help the situation: how to help the other if you find yourself in distress yourself?

The position to adopt: be his beacon in the storm. Rather than taking all his emotions upon yourself, you hold his hand in order to show him the way with kindness and understanding. In addition to showing deep love, it is a true sign of emotional maturity. Here are some ways to put it into practice:

Supporting without letting yourself be overwhelmed
Imagine that your partner is going through a stressful period at work. Rather than letting yourself be overwhelmed by his stress, offer him a relaxing evening. Create a real cocoon with candles, a good movie, or even a relaxing massage. It's a way of saying "I am there for you", without letting yourself be invaded by stress.
