boyfriends dad died


Question Posted Wednesday September 3 2008, 10:42 pm

my kind of boyfriends dad passed like a year and a half ago and i think they r having a memorial for him this weekend.

he said he may ot be able to hang bc he has a tough weekend. and i asked me if i knew about his family (which i did) and i just feel so bad. and i want him to know im here for him but i dotn want to be annoying like eveyrone was to him. what can i text him or say to him so he knows im here for him? and he knows im legit, not just hav pity on him?

You are his girlfriend, obviously what you have to say that is from you and your heart is legit! And he should know it. But you can text him saying, 'Hey love, hope you feeling ok... Just want you to know that I'm here for you, ok?! Just a reminder... So don't forget! :) Love you...' That's all! And don't address the text or the matter unless he wants to! When he talks to you, he most probably wants to get his mind off things, like his dad, so keep the conversation light and happy, put lots of smilies! :D

Just tell your boyfriend flat of that you're there for him. He's going through a rough time, maybe if you want to make him feel more comfortable, go along with him to the memorial service. It might be a good thing to let him know that you're there for him. I dont think it would be annoying. He probably wouldnt mind.

Well, losing your father is the hardest. Four years ago I lost mine. This weekend is my birthday, but it would also have been his. So, i'm having a tough weekend. I personally loved it if someonewould ask me how i was. When you talk to him, just tell him that you're there for him. Tell him its out of love, not pity. Dont be mad if he snaps at you at all this weekend, because that could unintentionally happen. Also tell him if that if he needs to talk about anything, you'll listen. Death is the hardest thing to overcome. Its always nice to know someones there for you.

here's what i would say (21 year old female who has been with my boyfriend for 3 years):

life isn't always fair and i'm so sorry about what happened to your dad and what you must be going through. just know that i'm here for you with whatever you need. i'm here to talk to or if you want to be alone, i completely understand that too. i may not understand how you feel right now, but i do know i'm here to listen, and i wanted you to know that too.
