TLDR: Gf is struggling with all her uni work and has said i am not good at emotionally supporting her when she talks about how hard it is to me

title says it. My gf always badgers on about how guys are terrible for emotional support. She just told me i’m not emotionally supporting her very well.

My gf is struggling with all the work she has for uni - she’s in her last year and has a lot of deadlines all at once.

I’ve got my degree and been through it so i know what it’s like. I’ve told her this - tried to approach more in a methodical way by saying to come up with a plan and that maybe she’ll just need to blast through it and do uni none stop for a few weeks but that made her upset.

I feel bad. I want to help her the way she wants help but i’m not too sure how. what am i better saying? like yeah i know it’s hard but it needs to be done and so i’m coming up with solutions aswell as saying yeah it is hard
