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

[AugustHoliday]

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?

Women have been conditioned to put up with poor behaviour from their partners from a young age. I see this in my profession working with young people. Bad behaviour towards girls by boys is so often overlooked and in our society where online incel content is rife, girls need to be taught to have higher standards and not put up with rubbish.

Some of the relationship threads on here can be truly heartbreaking. It tells us just how many women think being abused is part of a normal relationship. They need the outside perspective to realise it is not normal. There are also threads which whilst the issue itself seems trivial it may be a case of 'the straw that broke the camel's back' which is absolutely a reason to question staying in a relationship. I appreciate the advice given from women in 'failed relationships' as one Poster has so kindly put it 🙄 These women bravely prioritised their wellbeing and freedom from inferior men and take the time out to highlight to other women where behaviours are concerning or dangerous. Surely women looking out for other women is a positive thing?

The fact that we have options where women can leave a relationship that is below standard should be celebrated. If anything, we should hope that society continues to make things easier for women rather than keeping them in terrible relationships because they fear poverty or handing over their kids to abusive men by the court.

I don’t think it’s said enough. The bar for acceptable behaviour is low. Too low.

You said “It’s said a lot, often way over the top.”

That’s not an opinion, that’s a statement of fact. Which you should be able to support with evidence. It is notable that NOONE has been able to give a single example of a LTB being used seriously for anything trivial.

It’s said a lot. That’s a statement of fact.
Often way over the top. Clearly an opinion.

As I’ve said previously I’m not going to go and find a thread that supports that because frankly I CBA. I can’t remember the threads I read this morning, let alone across however long I’ve been on here. Even I have more of a life than that.
