Jehosephat,
You are not going to like my answer, but anyhow:
You don't need to play therapist to your girlfriend. If you become her emotional tampon you will decrease her attraction for you. Sometimes is ok to let her vent her frustrations, but if you open up emotionally to her too much, you will cause a loss of attraction.
Think about it a little bit: try to imagine some times when you've been very empathic to her, and other times when you've been more closed. Not in an assholish way, but more that you were minding your own business instead of paying attention to her. Now try to recall if her frustrations were higher or lower in each case.
Ponder a little bit on this. And if you don't like this line of reasoning, I will politely stay out of your thread.
