This is why I start the rants at my husband with "I don't need a solution for this. So, today..."

    I wish more people would do this. It makes things so much easier.

    Presume every time that they are coming from the emotional venting position.

    Someone coming from the rational problem solving position will easily ask for solutions...... So no risk in getting this wrong. Someone who wants emotional venting tends to blow up if you respond with rational problem solving, high risk with getting this wrong. So the optimal play is to always presume emotional venting if there's any doubt.

    If by fix it you mean install Linux, then yes.

    Mine would be "I want to play this game, but I don't want to pay for it."

    "ON IT!" 🏴‍☠️

    What that is: The initial offers are all things where the man is a burden in some way. The fixing is where the man is providing.

    Men who don't provide are failures.

    I disagree. Solving a problem is the fix. That releases endorphins. Completing a task doesn't do it. It has to be a solution to a problem.

    I've never talked to a man that spoke of providing or failure in the context you're speaking of. Not to say they don't exist, but I've never encountered a person that felt that way.

    At this point in my life, I can't imagine saying no to a back rub.

    Solving problems sure is fun. Only issue is if you have a bad day and the problem is an incredibly frustrating one, which can't be solved at all or can't be solved satisfactorily...
