Hmm, how do you guys/girls/shemales know when there is something wrong with a significant other? No facial expression, nice little facade. The significant other seems happy, but deep inside is distrought. How can you tell when someone is like this? Yeah, I need help. =/

Another thing, how exactly can you comfort someone when you don't know whats wrong. I know that one should be there and give her a shoulder to cry on or something. What else can I do? "It will be better soon." "Don't cry." Hah, oh man. Seriously, I don't know what to do. Nobody else can help me as I have asked. Any suggestions internet forumers?

Whenever my significant other is upset, I can tell from his eyes. He is good at putting on a mask so that most people can't tell, but his eyes look upset or hooded.
A few different things I do whenever he looks upset, write him a note saying 'hey, I care about you, if something is upsetting you let me know. I just want you to know that you can talk to me, or just sit or whatever' or something along those lines, or pull him over somewhere private and tell him in person. It usually works, even if he doesn't respond anymore than thanking me for caring.
