Ok, here's one. I understand that when a woman wants to vent, or is feeling sad, all a man is allowed to do is pat her hand and say "Yes, I know" or "You poor thing" or the most important " I'm sorry" even if you had nothing to do with it. It makes no difference if you have the perfect solution to the problem, You have to shut your damn mouth and repeat only what is on the above mentioned script if you don't want the entire house to explode. What I don't understand is why.
'Yours is not to reason why, yours is but to do or die'.
Though I don't generally like using generalities, there are distinguishing characteristics separating male and female psyche beyond the science of dna.
Women seek comfort first, then solution, if necessary. To men, solution is comfort.
I have often told mr sg - I don't need you to solve the problem, or even understand it - I just need you to lend a sympathetic ear...to let me vent, wail, moan, decry the situation - and sometimes that alone is the solution.
You just proved my point. Men are well aware that is the way it is, but we will never understand why, or what purpose it serves. Men are incapable of understanding women.
