But I looooooove him/her
People I know who constantly whine and moan about how shitty their current relationship is and I give them the advice that they should just leave. Their response is usually such garbage about love and how they can't live without this other person.

Then they stay in the relationship for several years before finally making the break and then promptly bitch and moan about how they've wasted their life with this person.

What makes me annoyed is that quite often they then say why didn't anyone tell them to break up sooner.

At those moments I do wonder if I could somehow get away with murder.

reminds me of the people who
just create the problems, then whine about them for sympathy.

One guy i knew had terrible money problems. On one hand he argued he couldnt leave his mum and dads (at 34), couldnt afford lunch etc... on the other, he would tell me the Tyres he was buying, alloys, new PCs..Laptops.. PS3, Xbox....

I didnt have the strength to give him a full and honest opinion.. so I just routinely nodded.

My rule is that you have three chances to moan about something.
If by the third time you do you're not doing anything about it, shut up as you clearly like it that way.

I've fallen out with a couple of people over this
Asked me for advice, I gave it and then they went off into one about how much of a cunt I was for giving honest advice and how dare I suggest they leave their partner.

I pretty much then tell 'em to shove it where the sun don't shine and not to bother me with their pathetic existance again.

I don't have the patience to waste my time on people like that.

its because youve allowed yourself
to become their therapist for free... they want to dump all their angst on you... and expect you to say nothing.

They soon found out the error in that assumption.

so what you're saying is that you give people the best advice,
and when they choose not to take it, then more fool them? it's a good thing you're an expert on other people's relationships otherwise i'd question whether you're best placed to advise.
