    The general rule is that it’s ALWAYS the feelings stage unless you’re specifically asked for help.

    I have been with wife almost thirty years. I wish it had occurred to me to ask this so many times before saying something. So many times.

      I agree. Having a natural tendency to want to solve a problem makes us want to fix it immediately but sometimes it’s not the answer, when they just want to vent or someone to listen.
