Or the inverse, that instead of just listening they made it something bigger than it had to be, trying to “fix it” when all he really needed was someone to listen for a few minutes, maybe a lap to lay on, but instead he got a “solution” he never asked for

maybe a lap to lay on

Couldn't find the exact right GIF, but The Boys came to mind.

lol I love that show, and homelander has some serious mommy issues, but I’m unsure if you’re suggesting that laying your head on your partner’s lap is strange or some sort of weakness

No, I'm saying it made me think of that scene.

Or maybe just what OC said... Or sometimes, there's just no one to "listen" to. Or no "lap to lay on". Or the laps that exist are so fragile that they would collapse at the weight of just your words. Or sometimes, there's really something that needs fixing...
