Love, patience and attention. He doesn't want to feel alone. Let him tell you everything about how he feels and just...listen. His brain is very very busy in general and right now I'm sure he's going crazy not being able to be capable.
So, just be there for him. He will not forget it.

You'll be glad you didn't listen to your "friends." I hate that shit btw.




Very good advice here. He needs someone to help him realize that the struggle he is enduring is worthwhile. Also recognize that depression is a very common condition after such things as heart surgery. He will be weak and tire easily, but don't let him just sit and stew. That will literally kill him.

And no, he will never forget how you treat him now, be it good or bad, he will never forget.

Hi Taurus girl. Aries man or female tend to be their worst critic and are very hard on themselves.All you can do is to listen when the talks about his problems (if he do share )and encourage and support him but most of all just love him and be there for him.I am going thru some tough times lately and it feels like I'm losing my mind but talking about it helps a lot.



awww seems like we all been going thru some shit...but I do believe life is a circle and for all the bs we have endured something good has got to be around the corner...at least thats what my optimism is telling me

Thanks everyone for the advice. I was doing all those things and have continued to be there for him, listen, and love him. I found some similar stories of hope and shared them with him. He appreciated that. He's physically recovering well but still has days of depression, panic, and fear which is understandable but overall he's true strength and personality shine through. He is a fighting a good fight. You've all said I wouldn't regret sticking by his side and you all are 100% right. He is so incredibly thoughtful, loving, giving, and everyday treats me like his true love. Were moving in together in a month!! I'm a very lucky and happy girl. 🙂 thanks again for the comments.



your being so good to him

he will appreciate this and I think it helps

aries are so independent we forget to ask for help or hate to ask but we need it
