Effective communication within a relationship can also become challenging on both sides when people are not 'present' which can sometimes feel like they are taking the other for granted, when actually they may just be having trouble focusing, may be stressed, or may simply have a wandering mind.

I would like to add that a man may not always want to offer a fix, but almost always feels that he is being asked for his opinion and/or his input. Sometimes when man jumps in with an opinion it feels dismissive or silencing to the woman, because as you point out she was not necessarily looking for that... she just wants to be heard. So.... I would like to add that when a man does jump in like that, to acknowledge his input, maybe even thank him for it, but to then re-iterate that you want to finish speaking your mind. Then he'll feel heard, which is as important to him as whatever 'fix' he might be trying to cook up. Interesting article.
