Keith and I learned something today.
Every day, when we come together after work, we spend time venting to each other about our day's frustrations. Most of the time, we try to solve one another's problems. I suggest ways for Keith to study better and he suggests that I tell certain people this or that. The bottom line is that neither of us is looking for the answer. We just want to VENT. That's all. We don't want to analyze the situation. We don't want suggestions, at least most of the time. We just simply want to be heard and then let it go. We'll deal with it again tomorrow.
So... now that we have discovered this, we have agreed to work on this. We won't try to solve the other's problems unless a solution is requested. We will gladly spend time daily attempting to connect... and absorbing the details of each other's separate lives. Then we'll move on to "our time."
Interesting.
