How to Get Through a Bad Day
08/23/2013

Dr. Laura,

Last week, my husband called me and was telling me what a bad day at work he was having. He had been progressively getting more frustrated at work and wasn't sure whether he would be fired or would quit his job. (Side note: He's never been unemployed.) I could hear in his voice that this wasn't just venting or complaining. I told him I support him and love him no matter what happens and gave him a "phone hug" making a growling bear hug sound.

When he got home that night, I gave him a real hug and told him I wished I could do more. He told me that what I said was just what he needed - and that our previous night of ummm..."passion" was what was keeping him going that day! I too had enjoyed a great night, but didn't realize the lasting effect it had on him. Looks like I'll have to keep doing my part to make it easier for him and me to get through a tough day!
