    Obviously depends on the person, but I would love that question. Straight to the point, trying to understand where I'm at. I can and will appreciate that.

    Maybe that's the neurospicy part of me. I can absolutely see why someone wouldn't like that.

      Exactly: I'm more than happy to either give you emotional support or brainstorm a solution.
      Just tell me which one, because the two things don't overlap at all.

      Yea this is good partner behavior as I’ve been taught. Jumping straight to problem solving can be dismissive. It’s talking past where your partner is at rather than meeting them where they are

      Actually thinking about this for a second I’m an idiot. What’s the solution stage for “my burrito exploded?” Pick it up ho?

        Might need to figure out how to remove a stain, what to eat instead, etc.

      ND people exist and appreciate straight talk. It’s not always smooth sailing

      Two people are discussing the idea of the question tangentially.

    That is a very beautiful and useful way of articulating that. Thanks for sharing this, I have a new tool in my belt now.
