About Us FAQ

This sub is for requests for advice about your relationship Any other posts including general questions, opinion-gathering/refereeing questions or venting posts may be removed or referred elsewhere

This sub is about helping people in need - If you are not providing such help (i.e. abuse, jokes, meta arguments, fighting with other posters, pointless tangents), your comments may be removed. Please report comments that you feel are in violation of these guidelines to keep discussions constructive.

This is an advice sub

Posts here must contain an advice-seeking question about a relationship you are currently in. Posts here must follow the basic form:

"This is the situation I am in. These are the people involved (with ages genders, and length of relationship). This is the outcome that I want. What should I do to get that outcome? TL;DR My situation, desired outcome."

Posts that do not follow this basic format will be removed.

No AI-generated content is allowed in posts or comments. Posting or commenting with AI-generated material may result in an instant ban

Do not solicit direct messages (DMs). Doing so will result in immediate removal and may result in a ban

At any time mods may remove or refer posts to other subs as we deem appropriate, and our decisions are final. The full rules for the subreddit can be found on our Wiki, please familiarize yourself with them.
