Tell them to suck it up. If they won't listen to advice, then how do they think their problem is going to be resolved? Magic? I dont think so. They either need to take action, or shut up.

Well I think the answer you received is basically worth what you paid for it. Are we walking about a couple or partnership or parent/child? Is the "something" easily identifiable and can credible opinions be obtained regarding the complaint? If the "complainer" won't listen with an open mind then I don't think there is much you can do about it and will just have to grin and bear it. I once PAID my significant other to listen and watch a politically oriented video and the result was good. It was worth it. Be sure your "evidence" is credible however.

Usually they are just whingeing to get attention and sympathy. Next time they start, remind them that you've already spoken about their 'problem', and then change the subject.

i tell them they only get to complain about things they are actually willing to change
-
I just simply stop giving advice. They do not truly want help. They want the attention that they are getting by complaining.

Comments like, "yeah you already told me before.." or, "didn't you have that problem last week?" or "got any new problems?". Usually they complain then about how insensitive you are and how they only want help...so then tell them that you have tried to help and still they compain about the SAME problems...tell them to move on in their lives or seek professinal help...they need it.

People like that are very frustrating. What I do when they whine and ask for advice, I keep it simple and state "do what you think is best" then change the subject. Let them make their own decisions, they will anyway.
