[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what girlfriends are for.[/quote] +1. When my wife tells me stuff, I assume there is a point to the exercise - that she wants me to do something with the information she is conveying. If she just wants me to absorb sound, it seems like a waste of time. The wall would be just as effective at having sound waves bounce off. [/quote] Walls can't hug or look you in the eye. My husband is exactly like you. The solution we found is when I feel that way, I tell him, look, I just need to vent for five minutes. I don't need you to solve it, just to listen and then empathize, ok? Then I vent. Then he hugs me and says, sounds like a bummer, I know you can handle it though. Five minutes invested into harmony seems like a good deal to both of us. They key is to give heads up so his mind doesn't rush down the path of solving it. [/quote] +1 I really like this approach.[/quote]
