I have this exact issue with my partner. He's a smart guy, but is somehow completely incapable of understanding that I don't want him to try and fix things (unless I very specifically am asking for advice). I've already considered all the possible solutions and it comes off as very infantilizing when he won't stop banging on with "But are you sure ____ won't work?", "How about you do ____?"
I know it's his way of trying to be supportive and helpful, not make me feel worse; we're both very solution-oriented people. But no matter how I try and explain this concept, it doesn't work, and more often than not, he just gets mad. I've even started prefacing conversations with "I'm not looking for fixes right now, I just need to vent." Nope.
There was no real point for this, I just empathize with this woman.
