When a woman asks you to listen, she generally means to remember
it for the rest of your evening (or life for husbands) and be sympathetic or
enthusiastic at the proper times. Men assume they need to jump in and
solve the problem. If they offer a solution, they were listening. All we
really have to do is know when to say, "Oh, too bad. I am so sorry for you.
Here's a hug."
OTWO, just a guess, sounds like you might be married? It's a rough life eh? Well as long as you know the basics, being of course the woman is always right, you'll do just fine. Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on it.
If you ever need any help with that, just PM me and I'll remind you. No charge.
