I'm certainly no expert on this and get it wrong continually. However I believe this is a big difference between men and women generally (although I hate generalisations and am questioning myself already about making one).

When men ask for help they are seeking a solution. When women do it they are just chatting - they aren't looking for a solution.

All sounds very true to me! Yep, think they are just letting off steam and are probably not seeking a solution.

Very good deduction.

When women moan in this way they are not looking for solutions and they get annoyed when you offer solutions. They are not stupid they have already thought of most of these and rejected them.
They have already decided there is no solution and that stinks.
They want you to confirm this and sympathise... Something most men are unwilling to do.
It really is that simple.
Say something sympathetic before and after and you will be doing the best thing.

Last time I said something sympathetic to my missus it was on our wedding night. ;)

"I'm Sorry, that never usually happens"
No, it was something else she said. ;) Can't quite remember.

She used to clothes shop a lot, so it might have been 'Have you got this in the next size up? And in a different colour!'

Because half the blokes on this forum are under the thumbs of their missus probably! ;)

Or ..... there are a lot more women on this forum than we first thought.

Or.....we're all a bit scared that our missus might pick up the iPad and see that we've been "liking" these posts...

Yep and I keep measuring our marriage in form tables, which she doesn't care for too much.

The trend is downwards.

My wife is Welsh.

She sounds like Otis's a little. Little things get turned into major incidents. Constantly worrying about stuff and our son. Cleans a lot too.

Won't hsve aircon on in the car in the summer she or our son will get a cold. Chucks food away if it looks funny or is a "funny colour".

Speaks Welsh at me a lot which is annoying.

Wouldn't swap her though. Well only for both Kylie and Dani maybe.

Does your missus always want Wales to beat the English, especially at rugby?

We have Welsh relatives, albeit on the in-law side (my uncle married a Welsh girl).

They are really, really nice to us and we get on really well, but as soon as it comes to Wales v England at rugby you can almost see the hate in their eyes! They MUST beat England, they HAVE to beat England and if England win, they were robbed.

My mum is 86 and very lovely. Really gentle and kind and she rings up this Welsh auntie once a week on a Sunday and it is always a pleasant conversation .... until it is the day after Wales have played England.

When Wales beat England in the world cup, my poor mum says it was like an endless rant on how the Welsh beat that English lot! Really venomous and spiteful and almost rage like.

Found that before. Used to work at a place that had 6 Welsh blokes working there. The minute it came to Wales v England you could almost see the froth in their mouths.

Funnily enough though, all 6 were not nice people at all. All very arrogant and big headed and bitter. (none were related).

All they would talk about all day was God's country. I always thought to myself, if it's so wonderful there, why don't you bugger off back!! ;)

The Welsh who live here like all the other home nations go on about how great it is in their country but very few seem to ever go home.

I am half Welsh, half English. Like all other halvies I have met I support Wales at rugby. It's just a primal scream. A remnant of rebellion in an oppressed nation. It is actually fuelled these days by the perceived lahdidah nature of most English rugby fans, very middle class and condescending etc etc.
I know an England fan who went on a stag weekend to Cardiff and they watched Wales play Fiji all wearing grass skirts to support Fiji. It cuts both ways.

Not to the same degree by any chalk I don't think. Think most England fans don't bay for Wales to lose and would always root for the other side.

Much more likely to happen the other way round.

I've been on holiday in Wales where I've walked into a pub and suddenly everyone has stopped speaking English and switched to Welsh.

It's almost a hatred with some unfortunately. I don't think I've heard anyone actually say they hate the Welsh. It's a much less intense dislike this end. That's my experience anyway.

I've worked with a few Welsh people before and while pretty much everyone has treated them the same as any other employee, they have treated people differently if they have been English.

All very sad.

My nan hates the Welsh, I have no idea why, but this is exactly the reason she gave me for not liking them.

I hate it when I say something like "Have you got anything specific planned for tea"?...& get something like "I have some mince or fish in the fridge, or we could have that pizza I bought last week - that's still in the freezer".
That is usually followed by a pregnant pause before I say "Have you got anything specific planned for tea"?

...onwards & upwards PUSB

Glad you said Brummie murdered in Nuneaton, cos if it had just been a murder in Nuneaton it could have been one of many thousands of houses.

She has survived by going to bed out of my way, I hate it when we lose, but on the bright side she has given me permission to go to Barnsley on Tuesday obviously wants to punish me further.

What annoys me is I come home and then my wife and my daughter ask how we got on. I tell them we lost and they then say 'Right, that's you in a bad mood then!' Which then puts me in bad mood!

They do it all the time and I'm never in a bad mood until they tell me I am!;)
