I don't have the interest or time to coddle a grown man, maybe you can play along with his nonsense- ("yes dear") but I'm gonna dismiss him every time... I'll do it for my wife, but that's it- That's what they mean when they say marriage is hard work
When women talk about "nothing," it often means they're feeling overwhelmed, need time to process emotions, are trying to hint at an underlying issue without direct confrontation, or simply find comfort in the act of talking for connection, even if the content seems trivial to others; it's rarely about literally nothing, but rather a complex way of communicating feelings, needing support, or managing relationship dynamics. It can signal they're upset but don't want to fight, feel unheard, or need gentle prompting to open up, requiring empathy and active listening rather than dismissal.
Last night, my wife went on a big diatribe on how we should'nt fed the dog his sweet potato and duck treats after six because it makes him go bathroom, and she doesn't wanna take him out... She used about 250 words to say it. Of course, I've heard this numerous times before, so I just went on talking about what's on tap on the TV tonight. She says, "you did'nt even hear what I said." So I said "you said" and I repeated what she said, WORD FOR WORD. I surprised myself, because it was word-for-word, and it took a minute, and I was talkin fast
She just laughed- She was shocked that I got it all
My point was simply that a lot of things can happen between now and then and people come and go. I'm really not sure what that really long diatribe about nothing was after my post...

Well, your initial response was rude, and hurtful..So instead of trying to explain it, just apologize like I did..And answer the question. Tarryall was just thinking out loud. If you think his question was inconsequential, then don't answer it.. No need for commentary about how stupid the question is
