Stray thought: I wonder if people who object to being a free therapist for their partner also object to being a free sex worker.

I'm not fond of the categories healthy/toxic, especially when it comes to emotions. What are the examples of healthy emotional support for you?
Healthy emotional support: Feelings are talked about and validated in constructive ways. Each party feels seen and understood by the other. Progress is made. Unhealthy emotional support: The same things are vented at you over and over again and you just have to take it.

"Progress" implies there's an end to the effort. If so, what is the end of it? "Just have to take it" is not the same as getting progress?

No it doesn't and no it isn't? I'm not sure how to answer that more precisely. If the same thing happens over and over again, that's not progress. If things improve over time, that is progress. This is what "progress" means.
