I'm tired of hearing about my co-worker's relationships problems!

Question - (5 August 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 5 August 2011)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

This girl that I work with so annoying. She is constantly complaining about her boyfriend, his cheating ways and how he always wants her to pay his cellphone bill for him since he refuses to get a job.

I try to be nice and empathetic to her regards to her but seriously, I am sick and tired of hearing about how that loser treats her and the fact she allows him to treat her that way just because they have a kid together.

She obviously is in love with him and thinks they're suppose to be together so what can I say or do the next time she brings him up? I got my own personal life to deal with let alone anyone elses.

A female reader, Tisha-1 United States +, writes (5 August 2011):

Tisha-1 agony aunt"Susie, I feel like we're having the same conversation about the problems with your boyfriend over and over again. I appreciate that you are having a tough time with him but I need to concentrate on the job right now. I can talk to you about him at the break tomorrow but only if there's something new to help you with, otherwise, I have offered you all the advice and support I have on hand! Stay strong!"

Or interrupt her and start talking about your problems. She may just like hearing herself talk, and will lose interest in talking with you if you don't let her hold the floor.

VSAddict agony auntTell her how you feel. Tell her that you're annoyed and that you have your own problems to deal with before you listen to anyone else's, but put it nicely. She may be mad or offended, but she'll get over it. She knows what she's gotten herself into and has no reason to be pitied repeatedly when she knows that all she has to do is leave the man.
