Quite often I see answers such as "leave him", "get a divorce" or something similar.

Well, if it comes to being in an environment where they are physically, or mentally abused, it is the best thing for them to get out of that relationship. -I would not tell anyone to stay with someone who likes to abuse them.
It depends on their story.

It is for the most part "unhealthy" for anyone other than a professional counselor to advise any couple to separate or divorce.
Most of the times, it is simply emotional answers without any details on both sides of the issues.
Remember, there are ALWAYS 3 sides to the story: His side. Her side. And the truth.
You will know the answers carry merit when they promote salvaging and solutions, repair and restoration; hope and healing, rather than giving up.
Make it work!

I suppose it depends on the situation. I would never feel a pang of regret telling a woman to leave her husband when she says he beats her every day or something like that.
I do however think people say "Leave him/her!" much too quickly in this particular forum. If that is how people truly react in real-life situations, it is not wonder the divorce statistics are as high as they are. People want everything easy. In this instant-gratification society we live in, no one is willing to work on or FOR anything anymore.

No. What a shame? Few here have the professional credentials or the full understanding of each situation to offer any real advice. Anyone who thinks this site is anything more than sheer entertainment is naive.

I hesitate to advise someone to leave unless there is evidence of abuse. NO ONE deserves to be abused. "working things out" in an abusive relationship is near impossible for most people who find themselves in a relationship of that sort. Getting out of it is one of the best ways to clear the head..to be able to start thinking rationally. No guarantees there either but we DO know the brain works best under good conditions.

Is it right to send them back into a dead-end relationship or abusive situation? We solve those too.
I think my heart's in the right place. I wish someone would have talked me out of my relationship a long time ago. I am broke and don't see my kids enough.

yeah, too many people just walk away from a good thing because of one little tiff. Too many people like to take the quick and easy way even though they know it never leads where they really want to go.

Sometimes....if you have been in the same boat as someone else, you can tell them how you handled it. People from the outside see things that people involved can not. That is why therapists have jobs!

If they're asking for the advice, and it's what you feel they should do, then yes.....it's alright to tell them what you think. If they don't want your honest opinion, they shouldn't ask. Just because one gives advice that doesn't mean someone has to take it, or act on it! ;)

This isn't to be taken literally...it's just to get others advice on what they think.
