My recollection about women is that when they start talking to men about "problems", they really don't want men to fix the problems, they just want to get it off their chest, they want someone that will listen to them.
Start trying to fix their problems, and very shortly, you'll get the silent treatment, perhaps even for days.
Any married men that would like to comment, or add to this thought? :B
I guess your observation is partly true. re the first sentence but there are gals that like to take apart the clock just like we did when younger.
After near 40 years with my partner, the silent treatment can be a Godsend, lol.
I have noticed that raising my voice or stating corrections to her (and especially these two combined) can lead to a silent interval. This also eliminates any hugging or approval of finishing any technical task.
I solve problems and provide technical assistance to customers, friends, and family on a continual, daily basis and have done so for many years. I'm a "fixer" and know my role but being a "fixer" of emotions, mine or someone else's, is a skill I'm still trying to master. That's probably why I have the RV bug, nothing better than being in the great outdoors, line in the water or listening to firewood crackle. It recharges my "batteries" and clears out all the internal "rubble" in my head.
Hope the OP is on her way with brakes working and can kick back to enjoy the same camping things we all like!
Sexist and sickening. You're both blocked.
