    no no - this is VITAL information we all need to know. Would save so many tearful evenings. We don't want solutions! We just want to cry a bit!https://twitter.com/pjalmond/status/1052899235027406853 …

    I literally only began learning in the last 2-3 years how to share my emotions with my wife; and how to hear her problems without feeling pressure to try and 'solve' them away. I never knew that just saying it and hearing it was good enough. This might be an overshare, sorry.

        It depends: when I was ill (I'm fine now!) I wanted solution ideas, or ideas to reduce the problem. But no, when I say I am going to the post office, I don't want to be told the best route to get to the same post office I always go to.

        Oh God, this is #1 thing my husband & I fight about. Me: "Cooking dinner was a nightmare tonight. She wouldn't let me put her down." Him: "Well she is ill. Did CBeebies not work? Maybe just do ready meals this week?" NO NO NO! Just say "That sounds shit. Have wine." It's easy!

        Without trying to SOLVE Them. Tbf my Mum is the same but she has a personality disorder. Women just want to have a quick, often hilarious, whinge fest. They can solve their own problems.

        It might be a generational thing but certainly some men were bought up ‘ fix things’ and this then transposed to people and their feelings - I hope younger people don’t feel this pressure and understand listening and hearing is often enough - that’s progress for all

        ditto this - then was simply told, and I was like "ohhhhhh, I see!" The urge to 'solve' still bubbles up sometimes, but I know better now.

        But I get this in reverse from my (older) sister. Sometimes when I tell her stuff, all I really want is 'Oh dear. That sounds crap'

        My older sister does the same. Is your sister the eldest in the group of siblings? I have a feeling that might be important

        There's only me n her. She's 6 1/2 yrs older. Very much attached to starting sentences with 'Why don't you....'

        Mine too.. But the weird thing is I know she primarily does this to us (her younger siblings), and not husband, children, friends, colleagues etc. In our case I think it's some part of a family-dynamic where she believes it to be her responsibility to fix everything.

        Oh exactly. I've just been on the phone to her...and had 10 mins of seething anger. My dogs got worried. Call me an arse but; I'm a graduate, I'm 50, have run a media co for 24 yrs, actually employed her for 20 yrs.....but apparently I'm not capable of making a single decision

        We’ve always operated a system where we take turns in ranting, and fully expect the other one to nod sympathetically while thinking about something completely different. Works for us.
