My girlfriend was laid off about two months ago, and it's been tough for her. She's 24 and works in HR, while I'm a 24-year-old software engineer. I want to help her, but she doesn't like it when I bring up job applications or ask about her search, so I've backed off from that. She also doesn't want me to help with rent or groceries, which makes it hard for me to know how to support her. She's been feeling down, and sometimes she says I can't understand what she's going through. We don't live together, so I can only see her on weekends or after work. I'm looking for advice from anyone who has been laid off on what their partners did that helped them, and what I should definitely avoid doing.
