Some people who are married long term are truly happy & can give good solid advice. Other times there is a lot that is going on behind closed doors that you would never know which would render their advice invalid. Some single people can give good dating advice, others not.
See where I’m going? There are no blanket rules. I don’t know why there is so much bickering on this thread about who should be able to speak into a situation. I think anyone should be free to speak, it is up to the readers as to whether to take their advice.
I just read through this thread and found it exhausting. I really hate when the comments get personal and combative. They feel like attacks to me. I once had a question and considered writing in, but decided not to for that reason. Maybe I’m too sensitive. But I don’t like it.

“There are no blanket rules”

So true, and there are no guarantees, and no assurances.
We want to be able to follow some rules, to get some
I have been with same company for 20+ years, owned house for almost as long, have pets (one is 22 yrs old have had him since he was a baby). I was married for 17 years(so many people called us the perfect couple HA! if they only knew what he was up to!!!!)
I had a lousy two year relationship after my divorce.
Having long relationships for me didn’t mean I was good at a healthy relationship, just good at staying in them, even when they weren’t good for me.It took me many years to learn from my mistakes.
