You and your partner at work. Your partner sends you a message saying they're having a bad day... what do you do?

And on the flip side, if you're having a bad day, what would you want a partner to do for you?

    I would: Send her flowers and chocolates!
    She would: Boom boom time followed by a beer and sammich!

    Ok seriously, if texting or talking isn't possible at that moment, I'd talk with her when I could. Take her out to her favorite restaurant, activity, something to help cheer her up.

    I can tell you the answer is not "Oh that sucks" and then not hearing anything from them again for 24 hours.

    I like the boom boom time one more than flowers and chocolates. Can I switch my gender to that one? Hahahaha!

    My partner and I work together. We have a rule that we can ***** about work in the car and at dinner, but no other time. We also have a rule that we have cuddle time for at least 10 minutes when we get home. It works for us.

    But, I did read that forum post that you are referring to and if I was his partner, I'd be PISSED. Nothing like needing a shoulder and that shoulder running to go hunting for the weekend...

    If I'm having a bad day I'd like to get some flowers....I know I'm a sap....they do it every time though. :ohwell:

    If my partner's having a bad day....send a few little sexy texts....no boobie shots! And tell him to pick up some whip cream on the way home, "I'll make his day awwwwwww better!" :wink:

    Then when we are laying in bed afterwards we can talk about his bad day. If he gets too mushy gushy bout it, I'll go for round 2..... ha ha ha h

    Pretty much the main reason we broke up. LD relationship and I had just found out I would not be able to go back to MN for Christmas. Texted him since it was the middle of the day and I was upset so not really able to talk. All I got back was a "Oh that sucks" and then nothing.

    I would tell my boo that though his day sucks, I'll make sure his night rocks! I'd then give him a massage, a beer, bj and cook him a Mexican feast.

    If it were me with a bad day, I'd like him to just listen to me rant then offer a massage and dinner!

    I'd do whatever I could to cheer him up.....send a quick silly message, but make it brief because I know my "work self" doesn't want to be bothered when I'm in a foul mood. But that night, make his favorite meal, watch his favorite comedy...sex of course.

    And, then the flip side....chinese takeout, beer, ice cream and sex cure all bad days.

    I might get them something a little goofy if I could like a candy bar. At least that is what I think I would do...I've never actually been faced with it.

    While you're both stuck at work, some funny texts or emails seem appropriate. And perhaps a quick phone call just to listen to the rant. If nothing else it reminds them that you are thinking about them.

    But yeah, definitely plan for something light and stress free (hopefully even sexy) for the evening.

    Find a new partner.. preferably one who complains less.

    If I were your bf I would have a lot of bad days.
  • In the middle of the day, I would send him a message and say something like, "Aww, I'm sorry you're having a bad day. Do you want to tell me about it?" leaving the door open for him to vent or for me to call him during a break...

    Then... I would make sure we had his favorite dinner prepared by moi (because I can guarantee he'd rather have my home cooking than anything we could go out and eat), followed by a Darla's special deluxe massage from head to toe...

    For me- quiet cuddle time with him holding me in his strong arms, kissing me, caressing me, talking softly to me or just sitting quietly with me...

    I ask what he wants from me. If he wants me to cheer him up, I'll make him dinner, offer a massage, and to make him happy. If he wants to be alone, I'll give him space and let him know that I'll be there when he wants me to be after he's done retreating to his cave.
    And on the flip side, if you're having a bad day, what would you want a partner to do for you?
    Usually, I just want someone to let me vent. If it's a really bad day, I mostly want someone to put up with me maybe being a little crazy, grumpy and snippy without getting his panties in a wad - I need a little understanding of where the bad mood is coming from and for him to back off until the moment passes for me to return to normal, and to forgive and forget.
