I went through the same thing with my hubby. He's a fixer, too. I'm convinced that (women are from venus) venus is a listening nurturer and that (men are from mars) mars is a fixer. Fixing just goes with testosterone - it's the male way of showing love.
It was so frustrating to try to explain what I was feeling, since I have trouble even putting a sentence together these days. I finally went googling and found some articles about what depression *feels* like and emailed them to him. It really opened up his eyes. The fixing has greatly been reduced and the hugging has greatly increased.
But - here I am trying to fix....must have a low estrogen level today.
