To think people on here giving advice don’t practice what they preach.

[Globaluser]

Perhaps some people would, but I’m thinking majority on here (myself included) wouldn’t

And here are some examples I’m talking about:

“I would never put up with my DH being a mummy’s boy.”

“I would’ve walked out if my friend had said that to me.”

“I would’ve kicked my son out if he had stolen £20 from me.”

What does everyone else think?

Perhaps people give advice on what they would do in theory.
If it come to it, I wonder if actually do what they preach.
Eg telling someone to leave a home/relationship/financial stability etc, but everyone knows it isn't that simple to do.

Yep it’s always LTB over really petty things, as if they would leave a relationship over such small things easy to tell others to though

Yes I think it's easy to say 'I would do' whatever when you're not in that situation. Especially 'I can't believe you haven't...'

However I do try to advise based on lessons I've learned or I realise as I'm writing what good advice I'm giving and how I really should apply it to my own life!

It depends. I think some of it is genuine, but the ones that are quite extreme reactions to minor issues are probably lies.

DH gets on well with his mum, as do I, but I wouldn't have married him if he was a mummy's boy because I don't find men attractive who haven't cut the apron strings. I feel the same about selectively useless men who apparently can't do basic chores because they don't see mess (aka think if they make a huge drama or are useless then their wives should do it for them), so if I said I wouldn't stand for manchild behaviour then that's true.

But people saying "LTB, He's being controlling and selectively useless to show you he thinks you're beneath him" because the husband did dishes, but loaded the dishwasher a different way to his wife's way are probably being drama llamas.

I can’t vote as I think that’s sometimes true and sometimes not.

People who are in a good relationship with a decent man find it hard to imagine how they’d react to an abusive one. They often imagine that they’d be more assertive that they would if the chips were down.

A lot of people in decent relationships aren’t there because they are wonderfully assertive and boundaried, they were just lucky to meet a good person. Some obviously have given abusive types a wide berth, but not all.

Those of us who have left abusive men are worth listening to I’d say, as our money is where our mouth is!

Some people really would...that's why so many relationships break down and do many friends fall out with each other

I think some people just want to be others as miserable as them so that shows in advice.

Relationships normally break up after years and years of putting up with crap though, not because of the first minor incident
