Comforting Your Significant Other or Close Friend



Assess the situation. There can be an infinite number of reasons why a woman might be crying. Perhaps she is grieving, stressed out, ill, or overwhelmed by joy. [3] Before proceeding further, try to get a handle on what the situation might be and whether it is appropriate for you to try to comfort her. Some reasons why you might not be the right person to comfort her would be:
If you are affected by the same situation that is upsetting her. If you are shaken up, disturbed, or hurt by the situation that made her cry, you might not be in a good position to help her. If this is the case, you might want to seek out a support network who can help both you and her cope with whatever is going on.
If she is crying from joy. Scientists aren't exactly sure why, but someone who is overcome with happiness might cry uncontrollably, just like someone who is scared or sad. [5] In cases like these, congratulating your friend or lover might be more appropriate than trying to comfort her!

If she is crying because you two had a fight. Before stepping in to comfort her, you might want to calm down by yourselves for a while to make that the argument doesn't start back up again
