There will always be days when your partner might feel more emotional than usual – on his late wife’s birthday, anniversaries, their children’s birthdays, etc. It is obvious that these days are significantly important to your partner. If you want to be there for your partner to help him through those difficult days, speak to him directly. Chances are high that he might want you by his side and expect you to support him through the emotional turbulence. In that case, ask him if there is something specific he would want you to do for him. But do not get too obsessed and make it clear that you will have no issues if he wants a little time to himself on that day.
