A Partner’s Responsibility
Being a boyfriend, a girlfriend, or a spouse is not all fun and games. You’re not responsible for the other person’s happiness but you should want to be the one to try and brighten their cloudy days. Part of being a significant other is listening to your partner talk about their day, whether it was good or bad.
Let’s say your partner is in a terrible job that they hate but are struggling to get out of. Hearing them complain day after day can be a drag, but you have committed to being the person that he or she will want to vent to at the end of the day.
