Do women cause problems by talking too much?

An American University study has looked at how men and women each deal with their personal and emotional problems. The researchers found that women tend to make problems worse by talking about them.

They say that "excessive problem talking" can make any situation worse in two ways. It can lead to the woman becoming over anxious and depressed, and it can really irritate her partner. 

Men on the other hand, by and large can't see the point in discussing their problems with their mates. What do you think about this? Who's got it right? Do you think women talking too much causes relationship problems? Or are men the problem because they don't like to talk? 

After 2, 25-year-old Sikh student, Imandeep Kaur, from Solihull joins Nihal to talk about the Tony Blair faith foundation and later in the hour, Nihal chats to Sri Lankan comedian Nimmi Harasgama who will be joining him in character as Auntie Netta from Sri Lanka.
