Of course, but people aren't posting on this thread saying: "my so didn't call me today, I'm mad", they're saying things like "my so has a drug habit, or my so is cheating on me, etc...". The things people mention on here (when in existing relationships" are usually serious enough that breaking is a somewhat realistic option. The simplest solution is often the correct one, agreed. I'm just a bit cautious about not cutting off the nose to spite the face, if that makes sense.
Of course. But I don't think I've ever told anyone to break up without that being at very least a reasonable solution given the circumstance.
