Leave him....
Posted by CalmCrab22
That's the opinion of everyone on dxp .....Well when you have a great marriage for 10+ years then give direct advice. Otherwise why not try real life experience examples.
Keep your Hershey squirts to yourself. You just want to keep everyone unhappy.
I'm happy! ?? can't touch me #hammertime
What are the issues between you guys?
I laugh at some of the "advice" given here.
The first question that should come into the mind of an OP on any thread when getting some of the "advice" should be: "Does this person have any experience with maintaining a stable, healthy relationship"?
More often than not, IMHO, from what I've seen, the answer is "NO".

Idk who you're referring to. I have no issues. I just don't think every one should be so quick to tell another person to pull the plug.
This is love it's not always rainbows & cupcakes. We should try to help & not belittle ppl for wanting to be with someone they long for.
Tomorrow the person they love could die & bc of dxp they didn't spend the last day with them.
No one gave me that advice. I've just seen it many times since I've joined & a # of times recently. Just let someone work they the confusion & trip on some things in love so they find the person that will catch them. Stop giving them new shiny shoes to walk away in.
If he's not being physically mentally or emotionally abusive then there could be hope.
It's called advice not commands. You choose whatever information from a different perspective then you make up your own mind.

I see... I thought you were referring to your situation. All advice from here should be taken with a grain of salt and a shot of vodka 😛

I do thank goodness or id be one lonely lady
To be fair, my advice is usually along the lines of "why the hell did you start dating him in the first place?" (Or her, as the case may be).

I know i might get crucified here for saying this....but in a way...this is just such a woman thing to do..."If i am not happy...than you shall not be happy also"
Nah. I see that with women (for the harpies, note I did NOT say "all" or "most"). I have even had a few actually admit that in an unguarded moment.
Still hard to wrap my head around that twisted psychology.

True. I've seen you put it that way. Most don't though.

Nah see the thing about relationships is that they are very complex and multifaceted. Just because you have problems with relationships, doesn't mean you're not equipped to address specific aspects of it.
Pretty much EVERYONE in this world has some part of relationships they suck at. Even those in happy long lasting relationships. They just happen to neglect areas that don't matter as much.

The snack food with a practically infinite shelf life....You would be better off eating the wax fake fruit or loaves of bread on a counter display....
I'm not eating any such thing. I don't take advice from anyone. I'm a cancer duh I know everything.
These other weak souls are probably trying to walk out bc of some douche off dxp. So ? little Debbie eaters
I will have a cucumber tomato salad though with my happy cancer loving self
The problem is that there are many ways to sustain a relationship. I give the advice that works for me and my friends. I'm not sure if I'm the one your'e referring to who says to "leave them."
It depends on what your goals are, for some it is obvious it is to be with THIS person at any cost (probably half who post). For others (seems few) it is to be in a happy long term, stable relationship, for yet others it is to have someone you can brag about, to "win" over a person to show your social rank or status.
After a few posts early on I realized that on an anonymous and random astrology forums, there are many people with many different goals. Some aren't even in a relationship of whom they are asking about, others are in high school. So unless it is obvious, I now try to ask their ages, how long they've been in a relationship with the person, where they are in life, etc. That doesn't even scratch the surface of what their value system or culture is (poly-amorous? unequal sexual rights in their culture, more equal depending on whose point of view you take)
I've also noticed that some arent really asking for advice but just want you to tell them that they are right or validate their victimhood. You can tell this because they wont accept anyone's advice other than what their post (or many new posts, threads or new accounts) will hint at. Or after giving their advice there is a miraculous new revelation to paint the person in a bad light. The message is more or less "this guy is a jerk tell me i'm right" or "that guy owes it to me to be with me" In these cases I will definitely say "leave them" for the sake of both people. If I was vindictive I'd tell them to them to stay in something that will ultimately fail or give them false hope, but it's against my values to do that because it will do more harm in the long run. Some with no experience just want the experience so they see more value in it than me that is valid but it's not the advice I'd give. It's all point of view...
Which basically brings me to this: when advice is not wanted and boundaries. I'll give my advice and after I've said my honest views I wont sit there and tell everyone who has a different point of view how wrong they are. It is ultimately up to the person who asks for the advice to decide what to do and if it applies to them.
...and then you have the trolls....
I couldn't agree more with you.

The real issue is why do people ask complete strangers with no direct knowledge of either party for assistance with life altering decisions. If you combine this with the simple truth that these advices are usually based on 2 or 3 interactions with a particular Sun sign is it any wonder that said relationship was doomed long before roaming the halls of DXP.

I was once told by young single woman that her marital status and having kids or not was not relevant when she was giving me marital advice.
And if you don't know I am 50 married over 20 years! Lol

Remember that aqua girl that helped her ex-bf rape a married friend. If that's any example as to how this place where is I don't know.

Or the supposed Taurus chick who was having an affair with a married Cancer man, until questions about inconsistencies got too much and her last post was "never mind, he asked me to be another one of his wives" with the OP deleting shortly after. Obvious trolling.
