Now for those of you who are curious about the specific quotes from the forum, read on. We've got a lot of good stuff to chew on here. The following are the men's responses, and I think we can all learn from what they've said. By the way, I'll call you later so we can talk about it a little more 1.

Men expect a direct answer to their questions.
My girlfriend has this problem with not giving me answers right then and she makes me go around the long way to get an answer. Men do not like to analyze everything to death then just to resurrect it and start over. When I get upset or concerned and open up to my wife, I'm doing this because I'm truly at a loss for solutions, or I am extremely unsure of what I should do about something. When I bring this to my wife, I don't want to hear that 'everything's gonna be okay,' I want her advice, I want answers. Men often don't mind being totally silent for a while, and just thinking.
