I really don't think so and I can say that from experience.

The reason I've posted about it before is because I can't afford relationship counseling or even counseling for myself. And if I go to family, it's hard for family to break away from that bias of defending you. So naturally you expect strangers to provide better advice.

That being said, yes I agree. If you're looking for advice over stuff that is habitual, it probably warrants a breakup. My issue is that r/relationshipadvice is so fucking horrible that nearly every single post the consensus is to break up, even over minor issues. That part pisses me off. And I respectfully disagree. A lot of relationships ARE hard, and it really just depends on the dynamics. That doesn't mean it has to consist of constant arguments and disagreements though.
