Fed up of friend…AIBU?

My friend never stops talking about how awful her husband is. It’s draining and I’m so fed up of it. She keeps breaking up with him and then getting back together. I’ve had enough. Am I being unreasonable to ditch her? We’ve been friends for around 8 years, but I’ve got to breaking point with her whinging.

That sounds exhausting. What happens when you try to distract her into talking about something else?

Of course you can end the relationship if you're not feeling it anymore. Friendships should be mutual.
All you have to do is work out the least hurtful way to do it. Maybe a slow fade or a clean break, you decide.

No YANBU. I once had a friend who was convinced her husband was cheating on her, it’s all she ever talked about. One day she rang me in a panic saying her husband had left his laptop open and his conversation with this woman was still open … I said “what did it say?” And she replied “I don’t know, I panicked and just shut it all down”

ffs, I ditched her after that.

Ditch.

If you value the friendship then tell her that she has talked about it for so long that it's perhaps time she made a decision on the marriage. If you don't value it, then ditch.
