Exactly what the title says.

To make things more clear, we were in a relation but she had to move with her family so she is not exactly a gf but a plate - she doesn't know that though.

In my culture parents and children are quite close so passing away of one of them is definitely a big deal.

Now, she'd text me all day telling how her father used to do this and do that and I am tired of this crap.

While for good times sake I have no problem in being there for her, but this whole day sympathize with me thing is crazy, I feel like I have to waste time because she is hurt but that's not who I am.

What do I do, is there a better real-man-ly way to deal with it?
