“You women are very strange. You never know what you want. That's why you seem so capricious.”

It turned out that he had just had a fight with his wife. And, as he said, he didn't even understand why she was upset with him, because everything was as usual.

I decided to enlighten him. It's very simple. Perhaps, at the moment when she was waiting for a warm embrace, he started talking about some scientific article on the structure of volcanoes. Or maybe she wanted some chocolate, and he suggested watching a documentary about jellyfish.

The problem is that women have many feelings at the same time: love, tenderness, motherhood, passion, and the desire to be understood. Sometimes all of this mixes into one cocktail. And yes, if at that moment we are given the wrong “ingredient,” the cocktail can slightly “explode.”

So, the secret is simple: sometimes a hug is enough instead of a lecture. And candy instead of an argument. Or better yet, both at once.
