Why is everyone on here so eager to say "move on" from your relationship in every scenario?

On the occasion I answer a question that asks "should i leave him.." I will give my honest opinion but people ask about the simplest things and everyone is always answering "i would leave him" or "time to move on". When I want to know how to get a grape juice stain out of my tan couch I don't need you to answer "time to move on.." Has anyone else noticed this?

  • No, but ppl are honestly giving you their opinion of perhaps what they would do if it were them in your situation. I don't think they're trying to dismiss your problem or carry it as if it were a light matter. You can take from those who you feel has the best suggestion and thank the others. :) they're just trying to be helpful.

  • I think it's usually one of two things. 1. the person has been in the same situation and is trying to save you from hurting. or 2. They have never been in that situation so they don't really know what they would do.

  • What I've noticed is that, typically, by the time someone posts a question here their relationship is in dire straits. They'll mention abuse, or infidelity (usually repeated), an aversion to counseling, etc. I think that's why we see so many people suggesting that women look at moving on from that relationship

  • ha! I notice it all the time. If someone is unhappy for now, or feeling helpless it's time to jump ship. I never give that advice, unless there's abuse. I guess it's hard to tell someone to stick it out, when it's easy to cut and run. Maybe it's just a byproduct of people saying what they think that others want to hear. We all want to be supportive.

  • If you are dating a guy is way different than if you are married to him. If you are still in the process of elimination of all those guys with whom you might want to spend your life, then you can be very, very picky. If you have made vows to him, saying he is the one guy you have chosen out of all the other men in the world, then that's a different matter. You can never know 100% about any man, but there are some signs that appear very early on that most women in their right minds would never say to : "Yep, this is exactly what I want in my man!" A lot of it is just plain old common sense. The old saying that love is blind is all too true. So, if you are hearing a lot of move ons and you are not married, then you might want to really think about continuing. Granted, there are some who will say the same thing even if vows have been made, but I'm not one of those. Warnings are to keep you out of that scenario.

  • I will suggest that in cases of abuse, addiction, and cheating (real cheating),, but most of the time I encourage someone to seek counseling.

  • yes. i notice that a lot. the least little issue in a post is revealed, and the majority answers say the break-up. it makes me wonder if there are so many intelligent moms on this site, why can't they offer more than ''break it off''/''divorce his ass''?
    if there are no children and marriage involved, sure..move on, tap that next one.
    when there are children and marriage involved, its more serious than anyone on CM can tell or advise.

  • Before you decide it really is every scenario - you should go ask one that isn't horribly slanted to making the guy sound like a complete ass (which is what 99% of those questions do). Make one up about how he never helps with the dishes, but otherwise is a great guy. People respond to what they're given - most people go out of their way to paint the guy in as bad a light as possible.

  • I say I would leave b/c I would. I wouldn't stay married to a man who cheats, or doesn't even work and sits around playing video games all day and doesn't help with the kids or the housework. If people ask my opinion, they're gonna get it.
