The best way is to tell her but I rarely do. I sometimes wrongly feel that she can figure it out on her own.
The best answer would be to keep doing his best an he has loads of support his family & I an nothing but love. Whenever he needs me I'm her to help with whatever & that's my job.
Just saying I'm in need of encouragement. It's easy to say... not exactly as easy to do, but even if you're in a relationship, we are all experiencing stuff differently and you can't expect the other to know exactly how you feel just by looking at you.

I don't as often as I should but when I do I'll ask her directly, though she can read me like a book so most of the time she just knows. :}
I sometimes don't say anything
Good question I think you already know me so well that you know when I need encouragement to do something I'm not comfortable to do it on my own . Or I usually tell you I can't do certain things and you cheer me up to do it well u know what I mean jeje
I must say he knows me well, he know when I'm not in a good mood, and he try's to make sure I'm ok and try's to get me out of my funk!!!
I usually get quiet and more reserved and need to voice it but it is difficult for me to ask for encouragement.
I ask for it. Sometimes, especially when I am very distressed and emotional, I don't make my needs known as clearly as I should. I'm trying to work on that; it can be hard to articulate my need for encouragement or sympathy or whatever when I'm mired in the moment.
Att berätta det antar jag..
To plainly state that I'm in need of encouragement, of course that's simple and I'm dramatic so it never happens that way.
Talk to him.
Puppy dog eyes, and saying "kiss me I need it"
I say I need a hug... But he doesn't always pick up on it
