My [31M] girlfriend [32F] got fired and os devastated. What should I do/get for her to help her feel better?
TL;DR: girlfriend got fired and feels devastated, I want to get her something nice like a card and flowers, but I struggle with autism/OCD so I am not sure what is appropriate for this situation.
Hey, so long story short, earlier this evening my girlfriend of 1.5 years got fired from her job. When I picked her up from work she was inconsolable, and her best friend came over and we did our best to comfort her and pick her back up. She was really mistreated at her job, and her boss was basically this male boomer POS who mistreated her the whole time she was working there.
I'm being there for her and anyway I can, and reassuring her and everything. I let her know too that I'll help her look for a new and better job. Her friend that I mentioned earlier gave her $150 to help her out. We are currently having a little hotel day that we planned out before she got fired. I really want to do something nice for her. But the problem is I have autism and OCD and I can't think clearly about these things sometimes.
I'm going to buy her some weed gummies as a little pick-me-up (she loves them), but I was thinking of doing something a little extra for her, like maybe a card and flowers. Would this be appropriate? And if not, do you guys have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
