I dunno. Sometimes I have to let off steam about things that would only become worse if I confronted him about it, or would make a mountain out of a mole hill. Or things that I've communicated with him about, and we're still working on. If I'm unloading on friends instead of dealing with him about it, that's a problem, but if I need to let some of the bad feeling out so I can approach him more calmly, I don't think that's a horrible thing.
