> wife does not like when I solve problems instead of just acknowledge the problem

I'll say it. That's a bad wife.

You, sir, need an education in some stereotypes.

More seriously, I think GP was commenting on the stereotypical response that when a "wife" brings up a "problem" they often want "emotional support" rather than "discussion of solutions".

Not that wife literally gets mad when he solves a problem, unless his problem solving is yet another "engineer system solution" (vs manual labor) which I know from experience, try the patience of everyone involved in family life :D

I'm not looking to get into a whole thing here, but I disagree. There are such things as people that will simply need emotional supportz and then there are those that cannot disagree and commit.

Double down, it is.

When someone brings a problem to you, it’s quite presumptuous to think they want you to solve it.

Thank you for replying. You're providing an excellent example of someone that can't disagree and commit and must have emotional support to validate their feelings.
