[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a guy.  I understand that sometimes women just like to vent.  But I get very tired very fast if they're not looking for a solution.  Why listen to someone complain about the same thing over and over again, who takes no steps to solve it?  Admittedly, I don't take the necessary steps to solve the problems in my life.  But I also don't vent about them.  I only bring stuff up when I want help finding a solution.  It seems like a lot of PP are facing this in their spouses; some seem okay with it, others not.  I don't think it is a case of capability of emotional support.  It's a question of why provide it to someone who wants to conceive or herself as a victim.  It's fine sometimes, but it gets nauseating.  Of course, I'm not referring here to real traumas.  But to venting about day-to-day stuff.  My fiancée doesn't vent that much, and I appreciate that immensely.  It's part of the reason I respect her a ton.[/quote]

Because sometimes there isn't a solution? So if my best friend is dying and I'm upset about that, how would you like me to fix it? Am I allowed to be upset once, like when she dies, but not when she was first diagnosed or when the cancer came back or when she was in a really bad state? I should just know at the outset that I am only allowed one time of being upset and then after that we need to only focus on solutions? Got it. [/quote]
