Yup, I agree. That's standard operating procedure with friends - what you put into it, you can expect to receive. If you listen to their stories, concerns, and emotions, then they will most likely be inclined to listen to yours. After breaking up with my girlfriend, I didn't even shed a single tear because I have a great group of friends I can rely on, and they were the first ones to react in kind after I helped them through their relationship issues.
Friendships shouldn't (and aren't) always about providing therapy sessions, but its something a good friend can do without complaining about it.
