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 !!

****** WARNING ****** What every you do - don't try and fix it. Now you may ask???? What is "fix it". Right now he just needs to have a bit of a pity party - That is okay for now but cannot go on for long. He need to know that you will support him looking for a job and will be there for him ... but don't try and mother him or "fix it". Help him as much as much as he will let you and if you need to LEAVE HIM ALONE... But reassure him that you will be coming back to see him in a pre-determnined time.<p>Hope this helps - from someone who has been him...
