This is probably the better approach to the problem anyway, conceding that they just look at the matter differently and accepting that for what it is. Especially as, by accepting it, they’re probably going to be more conscious about the fact the other will regard it differently from them and more likely to at least try to keep that in mind in the future, and that’s really all either of them wanted in the end.
The book, “Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus (1992)” by John Gray explains the problem fairly well…
Men and women deal with “life” in fundamentally different ways, and they were NEVER meant to be thrown together in a constant relationship – when they are, one or both must adjust their mental outlook or there will be constant friction if not constant “warfare” and you end up like “Kroykali”, above…
When I came home from work, I just wanted to crash and forget my day. When my wife (of many years ago) came home, she would dump her whole day on me with EVERY detail, including what her boss said….what her customers said, etc. I was expected to pay attention to it all, and if she suspected I was zoning out, I’d get quized on what she just said.

It’s resolution versus affirmation…
