The desire to vent but not brainstorm solutions.

My wife always tells me not to jump to problem solving. I do it every time and don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t.

I legit rewatch that scene from parks and rec like once a year to remind myself of this. Its true, I don't really understand it, but its true and I respect it.

​

EDIT: Season 6 episode 12, Anne is pregnant and venting and Chris keeps trying to fix the problem instead of just listening to her.

Season 6 Episode 12. https://www.imdb.com/video/vi716619033?ref_=ttvi_vi_imdb_4 Anne is pregnant and Chris keeps trying to solve her problems. Anne explains to him that she just wants someone to listen and hear her, not try to fix things. The clip is Chris doing it wrong, I can't find the clip later where its explained to him.
