When you’re venting and he’s giving you solutions

Default mode is Venting.

Guys, the key to avoiding trouble is to ask her: "What do you think/would help?' When she says whatever she's thinking about whatever she's venting about say: "Sounds good to me or you're right, that should work." Figure out what she wants to do-it's not like your opinion is going to matter anyway- and tell she's got the right idea, then go back to watching football. Happily married 33 years, so heed the sane voice of experience.

the thumbnail of the next video where she's holding a pan was just accurate

Ima go drink some water. Just in case. Never know when ima need it

Drinking more water helped me lose weight, build muscle, sleep and feel better.

My kidneys also hurt when I pee.

She does seem thirsty.

Here's the truth – she wants you to care even though you both know she won't ever do what she needs to do to fix the problem. If you were talking to another dude you'd be like, "Hey man, I've told you before, you gotta do X, Y, and Z. Stop being a lazy fuck and do it." And the other guy would be like, "Ah shit, you're right. Thanks man."

But when a woman is talking, the world needs to change, not her.

I ended up spitting out my water because I laughed too hard. So I drank more water.

if you dont want solutions then go bitch to a mirror. i dont got time to not solve the problem

Let them vent. Beats being told to shut up and just listen.

This is even more of a huge problem when one partner on the Autism Spectrum. Our brain is specifically wired for a mind that sees/feels the architecture behind reality and its complex interconnected systems. With the sole purpose of feeling out and constructing a formula that finds the exact solution the problem requires to resolve itself or so that its functioning as optimally as possible.

If she didn't want help, why did she share the problem?

The military agrees. We're given a hydration schedule. "All trainees are reminded to drink 3/4 to 1 water bottle per hour, not to exceed 2 water bottles per hour, not to exceed 16 water bottles per day." We're also told to sip the water not chug it, since the body can't absorb a chug fast enough and you'll just piss most of it out. But they're always checking to make sure you're drinking enough water. Therefore, drinking more water is legitimately good advice most of the time. It solves a lot of health problems.

The skit sucked, until I heard the last five seconds!…..epic!!!!

I need to drink more water

I saw it coming a mile away and it still made me chuckle 😂

It is a good question to start with though, whether youre looking for solution suggestions or just support. Skips lots of stupid miscommunication

unironically, we should handle those situations like him and just ask "we bitching or we fixing?" whenever the instructions are unclear
