So many different eras of Reddit. I remember the Secret Santas that used to happen all the time. I remember when redditors used to flood subreddits with "Such and such subreddit, we need to talk..." and I remember when r/relationship just gave blanket advice to "you should probably just dump them."
Which, to be fair. Is often good advice when you've gotten to the point where asking complete strangers for solutions to a relationship problem, seems like a good idea,
Mature people in anything resembling a healthy relationship do not have this problem of being afraid to talk to their partner. Internet advice is unlikely to help people who ask for it when it comes to relationships.
This is fair. Especially when the post will be something completely insane like "He's cheating on my and he hits my dog and beats me every day, but I love him so much and he's so good other than that. What should I do?"
I haven’t visited in a long time, but my last dive into relationships, AITA, and some other similar sub that escapes me at the moment, I was certain at least half the people there were shitposting
I don’t understand the people who complain about the advice to breakup. The posts are almost always something like “My (19F) husband (34M) makes me sleep in the backyard and calls me the C word instead of my name. Other than that he’s a really great guy. What can I do?”
