When you love someone, you don't ignore them when they need help. You don't leave when she cries. You don't leave until he feels better. Because when you love someone, you love them when they are in a good mood and when they encounter obstacles on the path of life.
You are with him during the most difficult experiences in life. You help him in any way you can.
You can't fix what's wrong. No, you can't solve his problems - but you can be his shoulder to cry on. You can be there to listen to him as he spews words of pain. Hug him and tell him that you will always be by his side, no matter what happens.
When you love someone, you don't leave them. They work as a team. His problems are your problems. His sorrow is your sorrow. You should never feel like you are going through your hardships alone.
If you want to be with him, you can't just accept the good without the bad. You cannot have the highest values without the lowest.
When you love someone, it won't always be easy. Sometimes things won't go as planned. Sometimes you will have to deal with unexpected circumstances. Sometimes you'll have to grab a box of tissues and talk to him. Face to face.
Relationships aren't always pretty. They are also stressful. Complicated. Life will not always reward you with exactly what you want. Even the best relationships and the best people experience hard times.

Each of us needs time to let go of the pain. Don't be disappointed by how long it takes to bounce back.
Be with him every step of the way. Give him the space he needs and the affection he craves. The most important thing is to keep the lines of communication open.
You can't know what's going through his mind. You can't predict what he needs. They need to talk to find out where the problems are. They need to make sure they are on the same page.
When you love someone, life is real, not just a fairy tale. Love is when you help each other through hurricanes and dance hand in hand on the rainbow of life.
