People asking for advice

I love this site, it’s great to ask for advice and I’ve had plenty of advice on different subjects. What I don’t understand the amount of people on here that are asking for advice but then get outright rude and defensive about some of the ideas that they don’t like. Maybe I’m wrong thinking this but to my mind if you ask for advice and for whatever reason you don’t agree a little thank you but sorry I don’t agree is better than rudeness 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes, when someone asks if they are unreasonable and then gets mad when people comment to say they are unreasonable. Why ask if you are going to get nasty when people answer you!

Tbf i see a lot of answers where they haven’t read the post properly (if at all!) and lots of repeated ‘advice’. Also people can be quite harsh, when it’s not warranted; i.e. ‘why on earth did you have children with this man?’ . Not helpful.
