With my beloved depressed it is best I stop giving advice,
I should only ever give myself my advice - though I seldom
follow it; at least he does not get angry with me as he does
when I offer solutions to problems he loves - if he has pain
In his eyes after watching TV, beware, when I recommend
that he move away from the blinds and the light of the sun,
he gets angry reminding me of ‘Men are from Mars, Women
are from Venus’: John Gray suggests NO offering solutions
Just listening when anyone complains; but that’s difficult, we
both love offering solutions - and he gets angry when I don’t
follow his recommendations - while he immediately tells me
‘You’re a fool’ when I tell him what to do, he only wants me
To commiserate - admiringly - while he chants his laments
from behind his impressive sunglasses worn in the house…
[Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus - 1992 book
written by American author & counselor John Gray]
