When you're down is it your spouse or your friend you turn to?

I usually seek my partner. But whenever he's busy (I mean if he's still at work or with a lot of pressure) I first seek my friends. But there are problems that I only stick with my parter for comfort (most of the problems). But it's also good to talk to friends first, so that the intensity isn't that much. So that when I get to talk to my partner, I'm no longer that upset and could relay to him the experience or the feeling in a more organized manner. =)

my husband comfort me all the time... he knows how to make me laugh... i dont want to be alone so if ever my husband is not there to make me laugh, i will talk to my friends.. have a chat... and there! they will make my day better again since they know how to make me happy...

When I am having a bad day, I usually prefer to be by myself. Partially because I don't want to take my bad mood out on someone else, partially because I don't want anyone annoying me further! But if I do want to talk to someone, I will usually turn to my boyfriend for support, he is also my best friend. Usually, he will become indignant and so ticked off at who or what ever is bothering me that I end up calming him down :-) That does help put things in perspective for me, and make me feel better.

Hi Cammeel1! When my mom is still alive I always find comfort in her. When she passed away, it was my best friend who I share my "downs" with. And when I got married, It is now my husband who I find my comfort, until now. He makes me laugh and forget whatever is bothering me. But there are times I just wanted to be alone and seek comfort in my room. Take care and have a nice day!

We all have times when we need to talk to someone, but if your Spouse is not your best friend, and you don't feel you can talk to him/her, you already have a problem. The danger of listening to well-meaning friends, is that they are usually "dumping" their problems on you; Sort of like, swapping miseries, and that only compounds the ones you already have. Sometimes, you are better off to take a walk and listen to the Wind.

Probably my husband - the poor thing usually gets it all when I get in from work, for about twenty minutes. He hardly ever says anything about his job apart from the fact that I know he hates it. Yes definitely my husband because my best friend also works with me so its very likely shes been through the same as me that day!

when i am feeling irritated or had faced a bad day i prefer to speak to my friend or i stay alone and be calm

Well, I would love to be able to say it is my husband, but unfortunately its not. I usually turn to him and vent, but he usually doesn't really listen to me. He used to listen to me and give me his opinion. :( so usually i vent to a friend and she vents back about her day and we both feel better.

I have no girlfriend to turn to, when I am down, I prefer to walk in the campus and the quiet environment can make me calm. Moreover I don't hope that my unhappiness and bad emotion will influence my friends or family.One should face the difficulty in life independently.
