shoulder to cry on
Sometimes it is best not to say nothing and just give someone your shoulder to cry on. You cannot always fix the problem, you will not always have the answer, and you will not always understand someone pain. The best thing you can do is to just give that person your shoulder and to just be their for them. I learn that sometime that your shoulder can lift the burden off of other shoulders.

Yeah, that's true. I often try to solve problems and my wife doesn't really want a lot of her problems solved. She just wants someone to talk to about them. That's all people want sometimes and sometimes all they need.
ReplyDeleteAs men we tend to think about problems in the active sense. We automatically began to look at how to solve them. Yet, sometimes the recognition that what a person feels actually is a problem, especially when seen by others in the same way, proves that the problem is a legitimate one and not one that is imaginary or menial. So people have to resolve the emotional part of a problem first before they can deal with creating a solution. Needless to say, I am not the emotional type.
