As we wrap up the month of dating advice and David’s dating profile re-make, we take one last look at some relationship troubles and sprinkle a little Australian advice on some not so typical relationship problems.
Like what do you do when your boyfriend gets you to help make an elaborate 4 hour meal, only to find out that he ‘failed to mention’ it’s for him and his friends and you don’t get any? Or how do you handle dating someone who is dating other people and shares it all online? And what’s the protocol when your workplace crush is using you as an emotional dumpster?
Join us on Australia’s #1 advice podcast as we uncover what it’s like to date in 2023.

This Weeks Feature Question:
So where do I begin.
We me(21m) and her(20f) work together at a retail store. She works in one department while me and her boyfriend work in the same department, that where I met her through her boyfriend when she would come and talk to him.
So it appears that out of everyone I am the only she actually calls a friend and talks to about personal matters other than her bf. So after a year of being her friend in the past few weeks I noticed a lot. First thing is she complains A LOT.
I mean every time I see her she always complains and that is basically all the conversations we have is just her complaining while I just sit there and of course I have to simp and just agree with her. Another thing is maybe 10 seconds after she finished complaining to me she walked to her boyfriend and starting having fun and laughing but then as soon as she saw me she again let out a sigh and started to complain about her life and people and how she didn’t want to be at work.
Then like 2 weeks ago literally the smallest thing got her upset and then she decided not to talk to me for quite some time I feel she is doing this because she wants the attention and I feel that the main reason she has actually decided to continue spending time with me is because I am constantly giving her attention.
I feel like she doesn’t want to be my friend like you know now one of your boys would be. Just some coworker that she can through all her garbage on. I have been distancing myself quite heavily because quite frankly i no longer wanna keep having these conversations where she makes me feel sad and depressed because she want to spill her problems to me.
Don’t get me wrong she is a very good person and I have nothing wrong with her, I just don’t want to be anyone’s basically therapist or someone that gets abused for being overly kind.
Basically I’m acting like a simp and it started the first day I met her so I need to break this behavior.
