Xgf used to talk about how her boss mistreated her a lot of times.Was I an emotional provider when I listened to her talk about the same subject 2-3 times a week?

Also how could I work myself around or somehow manage to skip this convo at all? And can you actually manage to do that in a viable LTR when you have feelings and you meet out of the bedroom as well ? Should I have told her to discuss those things with her girlfriends? You definitely can't avoid every problem when you enter a relationship, but that's how it is. Unless you want plates, then go for it.
