Ways to help your partner out of a bad mood

by Unathi Balele

We all have our fair share of good and bad days. It is unfortunate that when your partner is in a bad mood, it can have a way of affecting you. For example, when you wake up on the right side of the bed and your partner on the wrong side of the bed, it’s hard not to take it personally when your partner shuts down, even if their mood has absolutely nothing to do with you.

Although it does vary from person to person, there are still general things to keep in mind if you want to help pull your partner out of a bad mood. However, here are the ways to help your partner out of a bad mood, that won’t leave you feeling bad for trying:

Let them be

It is natural to want to make your partner feel better, even if you want to hug them better. However, all that affection may have the opposite effect, giving your partner space if they need it is really important. Just make sure you let them know that you are there for them and you are willing to listen when they are ready to speak.

Maintain your good mood

You can empathise with your partner however do not allow them to affect your good. Set this boundary in your relationship, your moods should not affect each other unless its good vibes.

Send them good vibes

Sending your partner “good, loving vibes” to help them get out of a bad mood might help that energy rub off on them. Play music that you know they enjoy, try to drag them out of bed or the house for a walk or a mini date.
