When your boyfriend or girlfriend asks if you are okay..
Don’t lie to them. If y'all are in love, tell them what’s bothering you. They care. It’s okay to be vulnerable with them. Don’t tell them “yes, I’m okay” and you’re not, because then you’ll be mad at them for not understanding your hurt when YOU HAVEN’T EVEN EXPLAINED IT to them. People can’t read minds. Give them the chance to listen, give them the chance to understand. Let them love you, communication is key.
Also, it’s okay to say what you are feeling, even when your feelings aren’t pretty or fair. It’s ok to say “I know it’s not fair of me, but when you did this thing, I felt x way, even though I know that’s not what you meant.”
For example, “I know you had a good reason for canceling on me, but it was still very hurtful to me, because I was looking forward to it. I know you didn’t mean it that way, but it made me feel like I’m not important to you.”
Please please please. Always communicate. If it hurts you, tell them. Even if you know it’s unfair. Tell them that! If your significant other tells you something and you don’t know how to respond, please don’t stay silent either. If you don’t know what to say, tell them! It saves so many nerves if you let them know “I’m not sure what to say” instead of ignoring them. It may not be what they’re looking for but it is far better than nothing and it shows you are still giving effort. If you can’t trust someone you’re dating enough to have honest and open communication with them, either your relationship is very new or you may not be in the healthiest relationship.
