Being near someone whose mood is bad is not a fun thing. However, it doesn't hurt if you want to help him feel a little better.

Supporting a partner whose mood is bad can be done in various ways, said Sabrina Romanoff, PsyD, a clinical psychologist and relationship expert, reported by Very Well Mind, Tuesday, May 14.

This can be in the form of giving hugs, giving space, and chatting with your partner. Follow his wishes and be open to what is best for your current partner, so a little effort can't help," explains Romanoff.

Here are further tips that may be useful if your partner is in bad mood.

Ask your partner if he wants to talk about what's bothering him. If he wants, you can offer him ears to listen and let him express his opinion if necessary, says Dr. Romanoff.

Pay full attention to your partner and show that you care about what he feels. Research shows that validating a person's feelings can help relieve negative emotions and make the mood better. Releasing negative emotions and feeling supported can help people with a bad mood feel better.

On the other hand, your partner may not want to talk about what's bothering him and prefers to stay silent. Although this is more difficult to deal with, because you want to know what happened and fix it as soon as possible, it's still important to respect your partner's wishes. The goal is to support your partner as needed. Even though it means taking a step back and letting him process his own problems, says Dr. Romanoff.

Apart from words, you can try to give your entertainment partner a sweet attitude of concern. For example, you can make your partner a cup of tea, prepare warm water for bathing, offer back massage partners, or surprise to buy their favorite foods. Often, small things like this can be of great benefit.

If his mood looks lighter, suggesting fun activities that both of you like, such as watching movies, playing board games, or taking a walk. Diverting your partner's focus from disturbing things can help increase his spirits.

Ask your partner if you can help him overcome the problems he is experiencing. For example, if he is annoyed that the washing machine is damaged in the midst of washing activities, offer to wash manuals together. Or, if he has a tough day, offer to cook his favorite food or take turns washing dishes.
