Ask your wife this question.

Why does he assume that his desire to solve a problem is the wrong way? Why have we elevated a woman's desire to be heard over a man's desire to solve a problem? Maybe, just maybe, being heard isn't as important as we've made it out to be. This is how feminism destroys nations.

Have you ever listened to this?

This is great advice, I do this and I promise it will improve your marriage. The "fix/repair/solution" is ... listen - usually - so ask.

Yes because women are wanting to tell men why they are emotionally upset, for validation, not looking for a solution. Yes, to being heard.
