Smile women write online when stressed instead of talking to partners!

Over on Women’s Online Community | News, Reviews, Humor | Powder Room Graffiti they ran a poll about what women do to destress, and they were twice as likely to write online than talk to their partners! You can get the full info at Loop PR

This is often the result of partners who don't listen or don't care. My ex was rarely open to listening to me vent about whatever. And he sure as heck didn't want to hear me vent about what really stressed me out the most.... HIM! So where else could I turn but to online communities?

Plus our partners aren't always available, when we have access to the internet virtually all day long. We can get things off our chest a lot quicker by posting online sometimes. Then by the time we are with our spouse, we already feel better, so there's no need to vent more.

Agree! I do it -- mainly because talking to partner would result in a giant misunderstanding. Women, on the other hand, get it immediately and give support, instead of wallowing in some imaginary misery about how "mean" I am.

I absolutely agree that writing is a good way of of venting out emotions especially if we can express ourselves creatively. I actually have writer friends who can write better when they're emotionally stressed than when they're really happy. Kind of weird huh? I think writing online temporarily resolves conflicts with your partner and gives breathing time for both of you before discussing things.

Me too. Usually when I vent to a partner it winds up turning into this long drawn out explanation about all of the micro details, and then more often then not turns into a disagreement or a full blown argument. Not always, but often.

I agree with this. Its easier then arguing with your spouse.

Yeah, written language is much different from the oral one, and in this situation it has many positive sides

Default Women need kitharsis

Hi fellows:
I also want to be the part of this important discussion. Women have to express their feelings through writing when there is no one to listen or care for them. Even their better half don't give them importance that they may express themselves. It is the natural phenomenon that every human being needs some one with himself to express his feelings.

I kind of do that. I actually play games instead of writing. Helps me zone out for a while. I can talk to hubby about the kids and stuff, but when it comes to issues with him or my ADD, forget it. He doesn't want to listen. I suppose I'm lucky, though, that he listens at all.

Hi,
A Relationship is considered good when both partners are understandable to each other.Share problems of one another and resolve it together.I know women need more love and affection and much care.A woman's emotion can only be tackled with much tenderness and love.She has also a feeling a heart that beats.Both partners should listen to one another.This is not a way you write only when stressed.You can also write when you are happy and delighted.If some body is stressed other should ask the matter and solve it by sitting together.Talk to each other and take out the stress by talking.I know men are much busy in life but money is not important than loving wife and children.One should take out some time for each other.spend good time with good memories for each other.I love my wife a lot and when ever she is in stress i myself ask the matter and we solve it out together.we talk to each other and make our moments happy.Both partners are supporting hands of each other.Otherwise the mutual relationship is useless.

Thanks..
