Insist on hanging in groups
You do not have to dedicate time to this person alone. Your free time is precious and you should get to spend it with people who make you happy and celebrate you rather than drain you of energy. So, you can tell this person they’re free to come with you out in a group. This will eliminate the dynamic in which they vent to you like you’re the therapist. If they don’t want to hang in a group, fine—then they don’t get to see you.
