I'd rather chew nails than listen to someone like that. They don't want a solution; they want to "vent." The fact that they're taking up your time means nothing.

I don't think you have a friendship, I think you're just being used.....JMO......

Someone keeps complaining to me about someone that is cleary wrong for them and I used to give advice but they never listened to it.

Don't you think it is time I shut up?

Do I listen and just not give any advice or tell them I don't even want to hear it anymore?

I feel bad just listening and letting them flounder looking for help but what is the point if they don't even listen?

@Pqfan, I think it's time you start charging for therapy sessions.
