I've been married for more than a few years now so I like to think I know a little bit about the female mind. I'm not foolish enough to think I know a lot, though.

Here's my take: She wasn't looking for help, supplies, cash or anything material. She wanted EMPATHY. Not comfort, empathy. If he had said "Oh, thank God you're here, I was worried when I couldn't contact you too. I don't know what I would have done if I couldn't find you. You must have been so scared. Every day, every hour, every minute away from you is like a lifetime, Margaret!"

And she whould have responded: "My name is Cindy, you $@#$!"
