She got mad at me! Why?
My girlfriend said she wanted me to communicate more, so one evening she was telling me about this problem she was having at work. I listened to her and then proceeded to give my opinion about what she should do. She got mad at me! Why?
Welcome to one of the complex nuances of being a woman. Women want things from men that run in opposition to each other, just as men do in a woman. one of the things women want is for men to listen and to speak, but not assume she's helpless and in need of rescuing just because she came to you.
Your girlfriend got mad because you actually went above and beyond the call of duty. Women vent. You've probably witnessed this with your mother, sister, aunt, some woman in your life, where they call up a friend and talk on and on about a situation or a problem.
It's how they process what happened. She might have already had the solution, but just wanted to let you know what happened.
A fair response on your part would have been to ask what, if anything, she wanted you to do. She could have then said, she just needed you to listen, or, if she needed help to figure out the next step, she could have told you then.
Go back to your girlfriend and quietly ask her how you should deal with it the next time it happens...because it will happen again.
