Oh yeah. That's how it works.

Yep, usually about work/family/friends/ect. sometimes you just need to vent.

Only for bug things. I don't want our conversations to be complaining so we don't usually.

Yes. I rarely vent to anyone else. But I try hard to only complain about things that really bother me and also to make a point of sharing positive things with him.

Of course! I can't imagine feeling like I can't / shouldn't vent to him when I need to. In my mind that's part of the deal with marriage.

@Somebunny: haha exactly! We are best buds and that's what buddies do.

He actually tends to vent more to me than I do to him though. Mostly work stress. Sometimes I vent about my day though or my crazy family. He is so wonderful about them. No one can make me feel better when I'm upset with my family quite like my husband.

Not really. I'm a pretty easy-going person and rarely complain or vent anyways, but when I do he's not terribly sympathetic. It actually works out, because I don't dwell on things as much and as a result am a much happier person.

Yup. Mostly about my mom, which isn't the best thing to do.

Yes, because we have the same job and thus many of the same problems / issues / concerns. We both try to listen when appropriate and help process when appropriate.
