This is a weird question!

Sorry this is quite the random question but I just wanted some insight from others!
When you have a problem or you have a problem with something do you talk to your other half having already thought of a solution or do you just say what the problem is?!

Bit of both I guess. Sometimes you know what the answer is but it's hard to admit so chatting it through with someone helps.

Dh is a fixer. It's taken a long time but now he'll (usually) ask - "do you need a solution or are you just looking to whinge?" sort of thing.

Usually I haven’t thought it through that much but might have a vague idea of the solution. It’s nebulous and can depend on the conversation.

What?

My DH is an engineer so I need to specifically say: I'm telling you about this so I can work it out - don't sokutionise at me! Mostly I like to talk things through and I already know the answer, I just need a sounding board

No one is a mind reader so communicate your needs. Do you want to vent and get something off your chest or do you want them to help you find a solution?
