Would you be friends who only talked about their partner 24/7?

I have this friend and she only talks about her ex boyfriend constantly, it’s been MONTHS. I said to her it’s getting to be a bit too much and she said their relationship was very important to her and she needs to vent. I stopped talking to her. It’s getting to much. I feel like her therapist. Would you deal with a friend who only talked about her ex boyfriend 24/7 for months straight or would you stick it out?

I would walk away immediately

I would stick it out for a few more months until they hopefully stopped

24/7 and no other topics would get annoying though I would stick around since they are my friend after all.

I’ve dealt with it for months, and when I brought it up that i want to talk about other things, they get super snappy and go back to talking about their ex and sending me pictures of their ex. It’s like a broken record. If I talk about my problems, they literally tell me “get over it”

I’ve had friends who mentioned / cuddled their girlfriend & boyfriend in front of me and that is what they talked about, I was happy for them. Just missed having that personal connection with the individual… Though it did end after awhile and they were close boyfriend & girlfriend just not as defensive / obsessed to showcase their love onto others (not saying it is a bad or good thing just stating it)

Should I cut her off? It’s been 7 months of non stop talking about her ex

Oh talking about her ex non stop?
That is waaay worse, break it off if you really don’t care about your friendship more than not wanting to hear about it on repeat.
