shit day at work and just wanted sympathy

[mailfuckoff]

Had a bad day at work and came home to have a good old cry. DH spent half an hour telling me what I had done wrong and what I needed to do right now. I just wanted tea and sympathy. He is right in what he said but sometimes you need love not logic.

Did you actually tell dh that? I tend to look for practical solutions too so would need to be told to shut up in that scenario

Hope you are ok

YANBU. I'm sure you know what the logical
thing to do is but at that moment you just needed some comfort. Hope things get better for you.

I'm like your DH sometimes... straight in with logical and practical advice when what's needed is a sympathetic ear

What happened? Have some and a sympathetic online ear!

Just some guy being a low level arse and it gets to me. I just needed a hug :-(

for you op

and sympathy

I have a friend who will do this and I never knew if she wanted help or just sympathy. And then she'd get pissed off if I did the "wrong thing". Fortunately after a few times of mis-communication we sat and talked about our differing expectations and agreed we'd just ask first.

So now if she comes over to have a moan I can directly ask "Do you want my honest opinion or should I skip that and just go straight to the wine and chocolates?" and we know how the evening will progress.
