I just read an article over the weekend that gave me some insight on the way men and women try to solve relationship problems.
To paraphrase (and generalize), women like to discuss problems at length but men really only are interested in changing behavior. that concept is pretty familiar to anyone who has read the whole Mars/Venus stuff, but what was new to me was the assertion that men experience high levels of anxiety when forced to discuss relationship problems.
The technique that women use to 'tend and mend', actually makes men feel worse about themselves and their partner!
This rings very true to me, how does it sound to the rest of you?
