    Had a gf way back in the day explain this to me. “When we’re venting we want emotional support. Stop trying to give us solutions.”

    Dated many women in the 25-years since I was given these wise words, seen the truth of that advice over and over. Yet I still struggle to STFU. It’s so prevalent among men, I wonder if we’re not hardwired to go into problem solving mode when confronted with an issue.
