Dear author of Dear (co-worker/friend/husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend) post,
I hope your job/marriage/relationship improves. I hope the presentation to the MFP community of your unhappiness/dissatisfaction/anger with your job/marriage/relationship is more than just whining, or flaccid posturing, and is instead a catalyst of real action. I hope that by "ranting" on the forum, you are able to better articulate your thoughts, come up with a plan, and actually do something about your situation. Because we all have choices, many of which are awkward, difficult, and seemingly impossible. But lots of us make those choices every day.
I don't have a problem with the Dear (co-worker/friend/husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend) posts. I do hope posters see them as a starting point, treat them as a timer of sorts. That is, you've now posted what's wrong. How long until you enact change? Because posting a detailed description of what's wrong with a situation you have to live with, and then doing nothing about it is just sad. It makes me sad to even think people might be doing that. So here are some puppies:

I like the posts. Sometimes people just need a way to vent without the emotional attachment that comes with venting to a family member/friend. It can actually be thereputic. And, knowing what is wrong is the first step. I agree, people need to resolve their issues, I don't agree with posting super personal stuff about spouse/kids/bf/gf/parents. I do, however like venting about my coworkers lol. Most of them are fantastic and I love them. But there is always that one-isn't there? LOL0

Some of those things you just can't change or do something about. Like a co-worker who is constantly in a bad mood. like everyday they get up and say today was a good day time to get pissed off at everyone and everything. I'm a happy energetic person. And I do my best to cheer everyone up. But you can only do so much. And its hard to ignore them when they are constantly ranting about how their ex wife screwed them over again for the 3rd time, and she was sleeping with someone else while they let her live there because she got kicked out of her 3rd ex hubbys house. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink it.0

I agree with you. I was walking with this girl I know and she is the most negative hateful person, and everyday she'd text me to walk I would get a stomach ache and finally it started to really affect me so I decided to just end the walking partner. She put me in such a rut I couldn't stand myself. I kept telling my husband about how she would just go off about everything, calling people horrible names and he would say, she's alone and needs you. I even told her she's got to stop being so negative but she wouldn't, so I walk alone now and I feel like my happy go lucky self again.0 -
