All sounds very true to me! Yep, think they are just letting off steam and are probably not seeking a solution.
Very good deduction.
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.
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.
No, it was something else she said."I'm Sorry, that never usually happens"
Ermmm whats up with Greek blokes?
Or ..... there are a lot more women on this forum than we first thought.
No Russian wife is free, trust me!
Yes, most likely!Or.....we're all a bit scared that our missus might pick up the iPad and see that we've been "liking" these posts...

Yes, most likely!
My wife will never catch me! I tell her I post on here as stupot07.
Yep and I keep measuring our marriage in form tables, which she doesn't care for too much.She probably thinks you're a right miserable bugger then!!

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!!
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.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.
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.
Fortunately for youThey invented gayness.
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.If you see on the news brummie murdered in Nuneaton tonight the odds are it will be my house, I'm in shit mood and she has wound me up since I have been home.

What annoys me is I come home down 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!
