Isn't it dangerous to seek relationship advice from strangers on web forums (here included), because there's only so much information you can give in a few paragraphs, and the people who answer only hear one side of the story (and you've no idea what prejudices they have anyway)?

Well, any advice you get, from anyone, you need to weigh very carefully before applying - even if you talk for days with somebody, they cannot know it all, nor from both sides. Usually when a person asks for advice, they already know which way they should act, and just ask for confirmation (in which case it's safe).
There is also the remote, but real, possibility, that somebody is so empathic that they offer a new, valid solution to the problem, in which case it's not only safe, it's good to ask for advice here.

But, as with any advice, if you take it at face value, without carefully appraising it... no, that approach is not advisable, here, or anywhere else (including advice your parents gave you, come to think about it...)

There are times it is easier as in being annonymous. Yjois applies if it is something you have held inside and been unable to talk about with anyone. I have looked through many questions and answers and pleased that in the main the answers are genuine and well meant. I agree tho with the person who said it is wise to think carefully what is best for you before following any advice. But, it does help to have input and different view points to mull over before reaching that decision.
Approached with maturity is or can be good.
Can be risky for the vulnrable because there are always bad apples out there looking for someone to groom. Let's hope not too many.

I think you have to keep an open mind.

I have had a mixture of responses some excellent and some upsetting and abusive.
Remember it is advice, you don't have to take it and sometimes even the upsetting responses bring you up short and make you see things from a different perspective.
If you have given kind advice in the past , eventually you will reap what you sow.

Yes, if you get enough answers you can probably see a theme.

You need to phrase the question well and include all salient facts.

I'm a great believer in gathering as much as advice as possible from as many sources as possible, not just for relationships, but all sorts of things.

This forum is intended to allow others to voice their opinions, in the form of an answer, to questions asked... It is the responsibility of the person who has asked the question to use this information to develop their own opinion to answer the question on hand.
