My bf is moving from his city to mine, moving out of his parents, graduating his sales program and starting fresh, & leaving his friends behind. He had his last night w his friends and he called me crying. Is there anything else I can do besides listen?

Just be there for him . Be supportive, listen, etc. like you’re saying, sometimes people just need to vent so you being there will do amazing things for him. And don’t be afraid to ask him what he needs

There's nothing you can do to fix it right now, cause he's going through a big loss with people he loves. The best thing for right now is just to love him, cause that stability in your relationship could definitely help him feel better given how much change is going on

He’s driving here today and living with my family for a week while he gets adjusted, and I baked us banana bread and quiche and I’ll be helping him move in, our parents are all having dinner together on Saturday coming up. I just think he’s really sad about leaving his friends and his parents and I want to help him feel less sad but idk if it’s possible

And I have a tendency to be a positive person and ik sometimes people just want to vent and not hear the positive side of the situation yet, and so idk I just want to be careful I’m not doing that?

So true, I’m trying my best and I feel like I’ve been doing that. I just feel bad and it makes me so sad. Like he called me crying about it last night I feel like there’s not that much I can do. Makes me sad he sad. 😔

I'm sorry to hear that :( I can tell you genuinely care about him so much. Just remember to hug him and let him know you're there for him when you have the chances
