How to help your partner in the crisis of 40 – 7 steps

First of all, you must know how to detect that something is happening, that your partner has a problem, so that you can begin to know what exactly is happening to him and then get to work to help him. If you notice something strange, observe him in the actions he does, if he constantly says that is tired or doesn’t want to do anythingor if he complains about everything, or even if he cries or stops eating, these are signs of significant demotivation.

When you have detected that something is happening to your partner, sit down and speak calmly, no hurries.
