[QUOTE="Hijinks, post: 2374933, member: 31094"] There's nothing wrong with venting on a message board, I do it all the time. But if all you need to do is vent and you don't want anyone to offer advice, maybe get a blog? That's what I do when I want to vent about stuff and don't want anyone to respond. If you post on a message board, you're going to get responses. I think you're a very caring friend and I would caution you to protect yourself from being hurt by this woman also. If she realizes you've been trying to break them up (or at the very least, get her to get a job), she may make something up to make you look bad to her boyfriend ("He tried to kiss me/grope me/etc!") and, if he's truly smitten as he seems to be, you will lose him. That's one reason I, personally, think you might want to back off a bit and just be there to support him when she dumps him because he can't financially support her any more. [/QUOTE]
