Sorry to having to borrow you, but I do need someone to vent to
In a more colloquial context you say "to borrow someone"

I´m sorry to bother you but I really need someone to talk to
Of course this is just one possibility. "I´m sorry to take up your time but I need to get this off my chest" , is another example.

: I agree with Gilla and like the expression "get this off my chest" too but that depends on what she means by "desabafar"....Is the person "angry" and just needs to vent? Or "just needs someone to talk to"? We don't know...
