re: Made mistake of offering wife a solution to a problem

Women hate being told basic things. They always have.
Unfortunately for us modern lads, the buzzword mansplaining exists. So if you try to make any kind of point, whether it’s a solution to her problem or just you explaining a situation in your own life, it’s “mansplaining” and being an a-hole.
But don’t think this means “JUST LISTEN”. No. Just listening and offering little means “you don’t communicate”.
What do you do? I don’t know. No one does. Hence the divorce rate.
Cherry on top of this post? My iPhone doesn’t try to autocorrect mansplain.

When women bitch about a situation, they want the man to listen, have empathy, and be supportive.
When I man hears a woman bitch about a situation, they are wired to solve the issue.
It’s nothing new.

What were the solutions you offered up?
Posted on 8/22/23 at 6:13 pm to East Coast Band
A bunch of betas in this thread. When I give my wife permission to speak, she knows better than to pull that kind of shite. I suggest you exercise the "obey" portion of your vows.

“mansplaining”
If my wife ever uses that word when I'm trying to explain something to her, I'm immediately calling a divorce attorney.

For the special treatment of the CEO's kid, to bring up the situation to her immediate supervisor and continue to bring it up to them about how it is taking away some pay for her (she gets some commissions)
Funny, is that she muttered the exact same thought out loud as to what she'll do from now on.
For the tired sleepy feelings in the morning, I suggested cutting out the caffeine tea at night. I even offered to brew decaf tea for her. Also, suggested going to bed at the same time every night.
Neither suggestion went over well. No idea why

Every man should watch this and make their sons watch this to get a better understanding of the female psyche.
Funniest/truest video out there.

I should mention I proposed this strategy to my wife before implementing it. So far, so good.

Wife: put your air pods in your tablet is too loud
Me: no problem
Wife: blah blah blah
Me: what did you say?
Wife: I’m not saying it again

I had a huge fight this weekend with my wife. I’ve asked her no less then 20 times to not wake me up if I fall asleep on the couch. Friday night after a long hot week of work I fall asleep on the couch she wakes me up at 10 because I was still in my work clothes ( khaki shorts and a polo) I lost my shite for a minute she has been mad for days.

Listen until she gets tired.
Agree with whatever solution she is considering.
Have sex.

Just say "that sucks" every once in awhile as she talks and you would avid a lot of problems.

You were given two ears and one mouth so listen more than you talk.

What's wrong with that? It lets men know what's expected up front. If I do want a solution, I'll start with "What do you think about...". Keeps everyone on the same page.
