I love my boyfriend to bits but he's just so depressed with his work right now.
He is such a beautiful person but I haven't seen that beautiful person latley. He's been working in his job for 3 years this year. he's 20 going on 21! He is the only young male that works there, the rest are all older women.
The pick on him Constantly, they never leave him alone. He is the only one that is basically mentally abused by these women.
He's been looking for new jobs but there isn't a wide range of job opportunities around in our small country town. Moving towns isn't an option. Both our families are here and this is where we plan to have ours.
He looses sleep over it so he's always tired. I just don't know how to help him anymore.
I love him so much and it hurts me to see him so sad all the time.
It isn't effecting our relationship and hopefully it wont, I wont let it go that far.
The worst thing is, he seems to bottle things up most of the time. I do get him to talk to me but he just ends up in tears.

By doing that, they just think he doesn't care or that he's too intimidated to do anything, so they keep on. When he cries, just tell him everything will be fine, because eventually it will be. Tell him to keep looking for more jobs & hopefully one will come up so he can leave this shit one he has now.
caramella answered Thursday February 1 2007, 8:12 am: tell him to hold on a little bit,trust me the people at his work dont matter at all,theyre all old ladies and theyre probably jealous he can move around and do more work then they can lool.You yourself need to be strong when talking to your guy so you can make him stronger,tell him how much you love him and that these people at his work can be mean to him mabey cuz he gets more money or is more succssful in his job.He should be mean back to the people that bother him and shouldnt let it get to him.Everyone goes through this stage in their lives,but its actually not bad that this happens cuz without the hard times in life we wouldnt have experience.Just be sweet and comforting with him and advice him with what i said and with what you beilive.
