1. Listening and Understanding: Calm down and focus on listening to the other person's words, without interrupting or refuting, just using words such as "um" and "then what" to indicate that you are listening attentively. Making the other person feel valued and understood is the first step in alleviating unhappiness.
2. Expressing concern and apology: If the unhappiness of the partner is directly related to you, sincerely apologize and express your concern and regret for the matter. Even if it's not entirely your fault, you can express your concern for the other person's feelings and willingness to work together to solve the problem.
3. Develop solutions or provide comfort: Solution: Based on the reasons for unhappiness, try to propose some practical and feasible solutions or suggestions to help the person get out of the predicament or improve the current situation. Emotional comfort: If the problem cannot be solved temporarily, use warm words or actions to comfort the other person, such as hugging, kissing, or doing something you like together to shift attention and make the other person feel your support and companionship. Small surprise: Prepare a small surprise, such as sending a bouquet of flowers, writing a love letter, cooking a meal that the other person likes, etc., which can effectively alleviate the other person's unhappy emotions.
