Don't dump the friend. It might help them if you say it's getting harder to listen to the endless bitching and complaining about the relationship. Either they do something about it or accept it but you just can't listen anymore. Sometimes people have no idea they are doing something until it's brought to their attention. My motto in life is "shit or get off the pot" = if you are not gonna do something about it...don't whine

That's so hard to do.

@offingg: It is but not saying anything has such sad consequences. Losing a friend for one thing. It takes practice to speak the truth. It heals, it makes things clear so everyone understands. You can do it in a most loving way...not an angry accusing attacking way. Not speaking the truth in our lives is toxic
