I need some advice really badly . . My fiancé and I just graduated from college and he’s been looking for a job and has not been able to find one. The past week has been really rough for him. THis is my question . .what should I do to try and help.. He is feeling very sad and depressed and like he is totally worthless. I know jobs and all that type of thing are very sensitive topics for men, but what would be the best way to help to cheer him up? I am going to see him tomorrow at 2. HELP me please !!

1) make sure he does not take the rejection personally.<p>2) listen to him, and empathize that it sucks to be looking for a job right now. Its not him, its the economy right now. the same situation occurred to me after graduate school, i could not even get a mindless temp job for one year after graduation.<p>3) make sure he gets regular exercise, eats well and regularly, and has fun with you so that there is something fun happening to keep him going.<p>4) although he might be looking for a __________ kind of job, I'm sure there might be odd jobs and physical jobs available while he also keeps looking. . . . <p>5) have you two thought about packing up and moving to a better location? not knowing where you live, the move might contain more opportunities, plus its an adventure.<p>just a couple of suggestions.
