What To Do:

  • Communicate:  Talk openly with her and really listen to what she has to say. It is crucial to keep the lines of communication open throughout this journey. Remember, this situation involves both of you, so do not shut down emotionally.
  • Be present:  She relies on you. Your presence shows that you care, and she is not alone in this.
  • Ask for help:  Do not hesitate to reach out to people who care about both of you. Besides maintaining communication between yourselves, discussing the situation with your parents or other close ones who might be impacted can relieve some stress. Keeping it a secret will only add more pressure. Hope of the Delta is also available to offer support to you.
  • Learn more:  Take the time to educate yourself and gather useful information. Hope of the Delta is a place where you can receive a word of encouragement as well as learn about your options.

What Not To Do:

  • Do not run from your responsibilities:  Avoiding the situation will only make things more challenging for all of you, now and in the future.
  • Do not pressure her into doing what you want:  Remember it is essential to work together and make decisions jointly.
  • Do not cut off communication:  Keep the channels of communication open. Express your feelings and share your input whenever it is necessary.

Remember, You Are In This Together, And Your Support Is Crucial.
