She voiced how incredibly stressed she is, said if she has any more stress she will end up in the hospital, I asked if she’d like to tell me more and if there’s any way we can support her with what she needs.
Hey Rock!
You’re doing a good job, but I don’t think was a good move.
Once she told you about it, validate “Gee, that sounds tough” or “sounds like you’re under a lot of pressure” - and then STFU.
Fixing or offering to fix (“support her”) is a one way ticket to the friend zone. Listen, validate - then leave.
You need to keep your emotions and protective instinct aside.
