1. Trying to “fix” all her problems instead of just taking the time to listen to her sharing about them.
We men tend to be “fixers” and we want to jump straight to solutions as soon as a problem pops up, but your wife doesn’t want (or need) you to fix all her problems. She wants and needs you to take the time to listen to her and connect with her. When you rush through that time to connect when she’s being vulnerable with you, it makes her feel unloved. There’s a time to talk solutions, but the first priority must always be simply being there for her and showing her you love her.
