We men are fixers. It is an unfortunate trait. Works well in certain aspects (business, around the house, with cars, etc), but when it comes to how we relate with women it is definitely something that doesn't always play well. I know since our most recent sitch I wait for her to ask me to fix something. Now I just empathetically (huge 180 for me) listen and validate. She appreciates that much more than me trying to fix everything. I wish I could get more guys to learn to just shutup (you don't have to fix it!) and just listen to their wives. And then let their wives know that they understand how their wives are feeling. Makes a huge difference in the male-female relationship dynamic.
Glad things are progressing. Feel free to hop over to the Piecing board. Unfortunately we only get a post every couple of months there, but there is some good information to be found. I wish more LBSs that moved to piecing would stick around and post there. But oh well. Keep on keeping on wayfarer!
