[quote=Anonymous]My husband had this issue. I told him that I was happy to let him vent if it made him feel better, if (1) he waited for me to ask about work (and I promised to ask), (2) limited the amount of time venting, and (3) was taking steps to improve the situation (looking for new job, etc.) This allowed me to be in a good frame of mind to listen, rather than having it dumped on me at a bad time or right when I walked in the door, and I knew that it would only be once a day and for no more than a few minutes every day, and that he was not just complaining but doing something about it, even if it took a long time to fix. He agreed that this was reasonable and its how we handle it. He gets to vent, but our evenings aren't taken over by it. [/quote]
