Its like cigarette smoke being attracted to people who don't smoke, it's something bad, but its more attracted to someone that knows it's bad instead of it just lingering around a smoker.

Yes..I think you have a gift. I experience this all the time...people like that...the problem is, you might think you can help everyone and this can pull you down. We can be Superman, but not Jesus...Superman can't help everyone.

So perhaps you should ask this friend, "how things are going in his life" you will be surprised how much he might pour on you and how much you might be able to help him. I have experienced that if you let these people think you are afraid of them, sometimes it frightens them into a constricting corner of rejection...

example, the cat knocked over the cookie jar, you tried to pick them up and you mother comes into the room accusing you. your so scared as a child, you try to explain, but she has drowned you out and you get punished...no one but the cat knows the real story!!!

I think this is how alcoholics, mentally ill, depressed people sometimes think, they always say "no one understands"

Plus you can talk to your husband about the whole thing, its his friend.

And to top it off, my Neptune squares my Moon. And it also squares Saturn which so happens to be in the 5th house!

Though Venus conjuncts Neptune...without it I'd probably likely remains and prefer to stay single for my entire life.
