To those who say he never asked for your opinion, I will grant you that.

But there comes a time when another person is using you (yes, they are using you) to sound-off on their wants and woes that there's a perfectly legitimate reason to give them some input back.

Yes, they may just have wanted a sympathetic ear- and if it happened once or twice, that's what it would be. But people like that are not likely to just say that once or twice, it's a common thread for them. By the time you've heard the same complaint 100 times, I believe any reasonable human being is deserving of weighing in, if only to make their relentless complaining stop.
