guys at work comlaining about their divorce to anyone entering an enclosed room. four different times when i was forced to work in an office and twice so far in slack. mother fucker i dont known you but i already get why she left. stop trying to force random people to be your therapist.
I've seen this, and what bothers me most is when you get that nasty feeling they're not looking for a therapist, but validation. Yeah, your ex-wife sucked, man. She was totally in the wrong about everything always, sorry you had to deal with her for so long. I'm sure you're in the clear and there's nothing you could be blamed for, it's easy to tell from this one-sided retelling of your personal conflicts.
When anyone's first topic of choice for casual conversation is how much their last partner was in the wrong, it's... difficult not to be dubious.
