I am in a relationship where my girlfriend is going thru some rough times..ie: divorce, finicial issues, and family issues.

She is just
pushing me away. She doesn’t talk to me, and
everything I say gets her angry and she shuts down. I don’t know how to emotionally support her. Can anyone give me ideas? We don’t live together so should I just let her talk to me when she wants and leave her alone or take her out, go on walks together to see if that will cheer her up? I feel like I am causing all her pain and I know I’m not. How do I get support for trying to support her?

I’m saying, just be there for her, let her know you’re there, and help her out in ANy ways that you feel would help. If she gets mad at you, just let her, its not actually at you, she just needs an outlet. Let her come to you.

I agree, just be there for her, I dont know if you’ve been married yourself, but she may think if you haven’t you cant relate to her marital issues. Just be there as a shoulder for her when she needs it. She’ll get through this, and just knowing you are there will help a lot. :-)

I don’t know…guess its automatic for the suicide bot to come up if there is stress involved??? No I have never been married so I guess I can’t really relate to her with that issue…I am giving her space and letter her come to me. We are going to watch the fringe/law in order tomorrow and see how it goes…all I will do is hold her and see what happens….I feel like I am on egg shells and don’t know what to say…well thank you for your comments, I do appreciate it!!
