What positive reinforcements do you like from your partner?

Hmm.. He’s a really good listener though, empathizes, and asked me what I need or what he can do that would help.

Sometimes, if he can tell I’m in a blah mood he’ll suggest we out of the house to do something he knows I find refreshing like going to a museum or drawing in a café together. Sometimes it’s as simple as going out to eat at one of the places that serves my ‘happy foods’.

Sometimes he just.. hangs out mostly silently in proximity because.. I don’t get down on myself very often. If I am feeling down about myself, that means something very bad has happened, usually health stuff, that there’s nothing anyone can do/say to make it better. In those moments, all I can do is process, accept the awful thing, then dust myself off. It’s nice to not feel alone in the world anymore when that happens though.
