jlsinphx Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 How much does losing a job affect a man's ego? Is a bruised ego going to cause a man to give up on a new relationship. I have been talking to this guy for about 3 weeks, nothing serious at all. On Thursday, he found out he failed a test he was required to pass in order to keep his job. He told me he needed to cancel our plans for Friday. At the end of our conversation, he said thanks for being supportive and I will talk to you soon. I took this to mean, he was slightly depressed and wanted to be left alone to process this and plan his next step. Should I give him his time and wait for him to call or offer to take him out and try to cheer him up?
Tangerina Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Depends on the man. Some put all their self worth in their job and others can treat it more healthily as just another important part of their life. In your case sounds like he just needs to mope. Some guys like a lot of affection and support when they are down and others need to be alone since they don't want you to see them be vulnerable. The second thing is probably what is going on in your case.
