Wanting to fix something is my natural inclination as well. I do it all day long at. But, I think just listening to someone who had a bad day ant work, etc. and venting has its place. A lot of times, they come up with a solution themselves. Affirming their solution helps them.

Days like that are not worth sharing; best thing to do is put it behind before you get home.
I had a bad day in August when I broke my arm.
Talking about it helped. I was glad to have someone to listen to my story.

It's all circumstantial.

(And don't forget, sometimes solutions to problems come from the most unexpected places: )

"What's the matter, hon, you seem quiet tonight?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I somehow destroyed an unobtainable casting for the 1966 Spica fuel injection I was working on. I have to tell the owner. I don't know what I'm going to do."

"Shaun, honey, my Grandfather was lead engineer at Spica before Fiat bought the company. He has boxes full of old fuel injector parts in the garage. I'll see if he can find what you need. Heck, he probably just wants to get rid of all that old junk. I bet if you paid for shipping he'd send it all to you!"

It could happen!
That is awesome!

I tell her.

Sometimes she apologizes and promises to do better.
