writes:My boyfriend's parents are getting divorced and my boyfriend is really upset. He's near tears a lot of the time. We can be taking a walk and all of a sudden he'll start to tear up. He really tries to not let go and cry (in front of me anyway) I personally think he needs to cry it out. He does seem to want to cuddle up with me though. How do I help him get through this rough time? Please help!

 just be there for him, take him out, mcdonalds, starbucks or something, do let him be alone for too long, or he'll get depression, but don't keep calling him or he'll just be really anoyed

 You sound as if you are doing a good job of being supportive already.
Letting him cuddle and hug you when he is in tears is great. If he wants to talk about his parents divorce and his feelings about it, just listen without offering your own opinion as to which of the parents might be more to blame - in other words, don't be judgmental - but I'm sure you know that already!
You might ask him if there is anything specific he would like you to do, or how he wants you to "be there" for him.
Does he sometimes have a cooked meal with you and your parents? That might be nice to be welcomed by you and them.
