To think ‘LTB’ is said too often on MN ?

Inspired by a couple of recent threads. I’ve seen LTB instructed for trivial matters including ‘DH’s’ shitting in en-suite’s and a new boyfriend turning up hungover for Sunday lunch at the future in-laws.

Is it just me, or is this advice handed out too lightly?

The shitting in the en suite, fair enough. There was far more to the Sunday lunch one though. He wasn’t only hungover, he had more to drink and started chatting shit, told the OP’s parents his friends like to end a night out with a prostitute, and when OP brought it up later, he pushed the blame entirely onto her. It’s dismal you think anyone should put up with that.

I think it’s easier to type something than say it to someone’s face. Not sure it’s malicious, just careless.

That said, I am shocked by what some people are prepared to put up with.

I can’t believe people seriously mean it when they advise it so lightly for the most trivial reasons… throwing away a marriage without even attempting to solve problems or work through them, especially when children are involved, often causes more problems than it solves.
