Bingo. So hard for us men to get this. This had nothing to do with your position in the discussion. She just wanted to be heard, listened to and understood by her man. No fixing, applying logic, or debating required just listen and soak her up.
With 20/20 hindsight, I can see that now. But sometimes I don't catch on soon enough. However, she is getting better at saying "I am not looking for a reply, I just need to vent..." before continuing on. That is a real help to us dolts
