update: Thanks guys for the good ideas and encouragement. We ended up in the bedroom pretty quickly which improved my mood. I spent a minute or two discussing things the following morning without bitching or whining. Then work cut my shift. I was happy to get some time off.
I am in the mood to bitch and vent tonight. Im about to go on a low key date with the newest plate/FWB. TRP has taught me its not a good idea to share this stuff with women EVER. I did find a post saying friends/family/therapist. reddit.com/r/asktrp/comments/2ofsnh/if_a_woman_is_just_a_hole_for_your_dick_where_do/
Family is not an option for me. Friends dont want to hear this shit. I have a mentor I see twice a month, but wish I could meet weekly.
I am 80-90% of the way to a great career. Lately things stalled because I am working a split shift at two shitty jobs. Shitty job #1 just got even worse because I took two days off to handle medical stuff. They scheduled me early mornings with a pay cut all next week. My surgery is soon, not next week and they know that. Apparently this is just a big fuck you to me because I took time off and they can not fire me. I am working 6 days a week, 3 doubles, and am a single dad the rest of the time. This has been going on for over a month and I have already had enough of this BS.

Confide in yourself.
Sometimes I turn on my voice recorder on my phone and just talk for 30 minutes. I feel great afterwards. Really helps to work out some internal stuff instead of verbal vomiting to a friend. Get it out loud and speak it. You'd be surprised how well it works.

Sounds good.
Don't dump this shit on someone you like.

You can talk to her, but the consequences are:
-she will stop sleeping with you
-she will tell all her other friends what you have said and you won't be able to sleep with them either.

Psychologists are great because you can dump all your shit on them and walk away.

You're not alone. I realize I have no "friends"...the ones I had took information about me and girls and used it against me.
You can't really talk to girls because they'll think you're a bitch.
I have like one or two true friends, but one is a girl I used to bang years ago who lives elsewhere and is really just a sounding board. I would never confide anything serious in her.
So yah....dude you're alone.

Hopefully you will find some Walawalawa. I do have good friends that I could ask to listen. I dont trifle them with BS unless its 100% necessary.

I vent very little to my gf. I vent, then make a joke, then change the subject. I pretty much do the same with everyone. The key is that I already know that no matter what they say I won't be satisfied with their response. Just havin some one listen for a few minutes and to have a laugh with is enough for me. Every now and then when there is something important going on, I have 3 really mature, intelligent female friends I talk to. They seem genuinely interested in what I'm saying. But I never go in with expectations.

Maybe I need a couple female friends to talk life drama with.

no need to confide/vent - that has no purpose at all
