I think doing that would destroy this fragile planet. Maybe, but it would be amusing. And really isn't that more important? Semi-seriously: You are a dude, and in my experience the male gender takes a problem solving approach to situations like this. She is mad because that didn't happen. When a female is sharing or something similar they are not looking for 'fixes' or solutions, they are looking for some empathy. So in her eyes, you did the wrong thing. She might let some of the words sink in, but frankly Denny's Parking Lot Confessionals rarely amount to actually changing a person. Pavlovian response will change her. Get the shock collar. Cure her.

I just wish people like her would wake up and take a look in the mirror and realize its up to them to sort of their own relationship problems.
