What are the chances of coming to Fluther with a relationship question, and being told to stay together and work it out?

Asked by poisonedantidote (21675points) March 25th, 2013

I was just wondering, how many relationship advice questions on here actually get advice other than to break up.

I don’t think I can recall a single question where someone was told by the majority of those answering, to stick together and not throw things away.

I can’t help but wonder, what ever happened to “in good times and bad” and loyalty and determination, and working to make things good.

Sure, some times a relationship is just bad and needs to end, but all relationships have their problems and challenges, no matter how good a couple.

It seems now days, people just expect perfection handed to them on a plate, no assembly required.

Something about it just seems so shallow to me, and no, I’m not trying to insult anyone, I’m just as guilty, most of the relationship questions I answer are saying to break up too.

I am throwing it out there for discussion, to see what the collective thinks. Part of me suspects that this is the kind of attitude that is responsible for the AIDS pandemic and all the failed marriages that end in divorce.

Why do people insist on throwing away partners who are 99.5% good?

Why does the collective give so much break up advice?

What are the chances of asking for relationship advice on here and not being told to break up?
