Many times women think they are just talking. I used this example in another thread but my H used to do this ALL the time... He would ask about my work day, I would tell him about my day and the next words out of his mouth would be "well, do this, this and this". WHAT?

Women DO appreciate help and suggestions or an alternative viewpoint but many times we are just talking or sharing and not saying in some veiled fashion "hey, I need help!"

I believe a few of this were discussing this very matter last week. EVERYBODY needs help from time to time but sometimes a conversation is not a cry for help!
