I simply tell him I need some advice or words of wisdom lol he knows exactly what to say.
Usually by straight out telling her, if she doesn't pick up on it because she knows me so well.
My baby bring out the best in me
She doesn't like when I ask for things, or show weakness, or need her for anything... so, fuck me, I don't know.
I don't mind when you show weakness, I have just seen too much of it. I like to be needed...

Tell her. "Dear, encourage me!!!!!!"
I don't have to say anything, he knows me well enough to know when something is on my mind
I'll ask her. Plain and simple. She can do the same.
She knows me very well and picks up on most of it. It's pretty cool.
I don't think encouragement is in her vocabulary. Today was my birthday and looked forward to the time together all week. Instead of spending time with me she went shopping instead. Then after dinner she went right to bed.
Please tell her! A lot of women forget that guys need to be spoiled too sometimes. Isn't it true, that if she took the time to do a little extra, you'll give it right back? Sometimes women don't realize men have feelings. :/

I just say that I am scared, worried, or whatever and the encouragement comes! It's great and so simple!!! :)
I'll just say it
She can read me extremely well and she would already know exactly what to say to me
Yes I can and you can read me just as well! It's almost scary how well we know each other!

I tell him I'm scared and he tells me it's going to be ok, an whatever I am going thru he usually right by my side the whole way thru
I tend to push people away when I need them the most, and my Joey is learning as to when these moments are and just holds me tight and whispers in my ear.
