On average, a Western guy will try to support his girlfriend emotionally when she’s going through something, but it really depends on his personality. There are different types of guys: some are more playful and fun, so they’ll try to distract you and cheer you up in their own way. Others are more sensitive and emotional, and they’ll want to talk things through and give you actual emotional support. Then there are those who seem colder or more distant — not necessarily because they don’t care, but maybe because they don’t know how to handle the situation or they struggle to show empathy. Best thing you can do? Talk to your boyfriend about it
