i have to wonder if "the internet is just too quick to say break up in relationship advice!!!" is actually correlation/causation getting backwards
e.g., it's not the internet being stuck in a rut, but more like wondering why there are so many sick people in an ER waiting room
if your relationship is to the point where people seek advice, there's usually a big problem that's popped up, and that problem often is big enough that the answer is "DTMFA and GTFO"
small brain: the internet jumps to DTMFA too quickly in all relationship advice
bigger brain: the internet is sometimes right in that you have to break up with people if the relationship and mutual respect has fallen apart
galaxy brain: pushback along the lines of "the internet just says people should break up!!!" is often a misogynist tool to tell women they should allow any old bullshit and shame them for wanting to leave and is just STAND BY YOUR MAAAAAN in a scooby doo villain mask

also if i really wanted to throw a grenade into the comment section, i would have gone more than just "prudie beefed it, the answer of ~go and nurture the feelings of your friends abandoning you~ is bad advice my dudes"
i would have thrown in the grenade to the comment section of "so, being a male-male couple and also dripping with disdain for those who have kids... have you considered your levels of picked-up-from-society-around-you misogyny lately? may be time for a detox there"
ah the joy of reading advice columns to boo at the ref when he makes bad calls
prudie whiffed it hard with his response to a letter writer whining about how his friends were all ruining their lives having kids and he has no empathy for them. i'm also childfree and not maternal but the dude was dripping with contempt and prudie's answer was to go 'nurture those feelings'. fuckoff with that. you don't have to love kids, you just have to be happy your friends are happy.
i just realized i said the internet is a magical place and didn't include the link to the youtube video i was watching

safe for work, does require sound, i don't think there's anything triggering in here, but also i don't want to give away the joke but trust me i am very very amused by it
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains
so not only am i saying some broad, sweeping shit that i think is core to anakin skywalker/darth vader's mental state and being and thus characterization,
i am 100% saying that anakin knows the tatooine equivalent of catfish noodling. he WILL thrust his hand into that dune and he WILL pull out dinner and obi-wan WILL be horrified because OBI-WAN KENOBI IS BOUGIE, SOMETHING THAT LED TO THE CRITICAL BREAKDOWN IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO,
