I usually do this sometimes, but it's usually after the fact once I've pitched it and who makes the decisions has already made up their mind and doesn't want to change anything. Mostly because they don't want to care about the benefits or consequences of the decision made, they just want a decision made.

The only thing you accomplish with this "LPT" is condescend abused women reading this. Women who knows first hand what that situation ACTUALLY looks like ! The best advice often comes from experience, especially such a complex situation as abuse.

If this was an attempt to show support, then there are much better ways to do that as a man. You can start with educating yourself, so you better understand what this actually means for a woman in the real world!

If your goal was to provoke and be condescending then you have succeeded!

Nobody cares about anything in your house to be honest. That’s not why people fold their sheets. They do it because they like to feel organized. Has nothing to do with some random ass friend coming into your house and looking in your closet. Weird LPT.

Unfortunately with theses apps, drivers are incentivized by seeing the tip before they accept the order. They don’t know that you’re going to tip cash and prob assume it’s a no tip order. Those orders tend to sit in the restaurant longer as drivers will pass on that pickup in order to take a tipped order. I learned this this hard way.

Attachment style issues as well. It can be probable, so trying to figure that out can be worthwhile. Since that means - if the partner is willing - working together and ultimately improving/healing the partner's issue is possible. That needs to be evaluated however and can't be possible nor said for every situation (like the OP's advice). It ultimately depends if it would work and makes sense. In case of abuse, it is less likely and safety matters more then.

Apartments are something of a crap shoot. You may have fantastic neighbors or really terrible ones.

Be kind to your neighbors, even if they're dicks. If someone is playing music until late at night, fighting, making noise, stinking up the building with cooking, the most you can do is say something to them, but use tact. Being on good terms with them will go a long way. Don't threaten or try to retaliate. Deal with it the best you can.

Get a little fire extinguisher for the kitchen. use a daily shower cleaner and a magic eraser in the shower, clean it while you're in it, keep essentials like rice and potatoes and olive oil and chicken breasts (individually frozen) broccoli, on hand so you're not blowing money and your health on fast food. An air fryer is a fabulous thing!

I have a friend like this who given the opportunity would go out to happy hour every night and go home with a different man every night to escape the control she felt her husband and others in her life put on her. I tried really hard to give her a safe place to talk so if she did have too much to drink, I wasn’t going to try to get in her pants. Eventually, most of her past experiences came out, things she hadn’t shared with anyone (which explained a lot). We slowly worked to help get her to a better place in life and the ability to make better decisions for herself. On the surface, her husband looks controlling, but in reality he is serving as an anchor to keep her from doing the things that she really wants to do that would be completely destructive

Lol. If you’re friends problem was solved by a trip their relationship was not going to end anyways.

Also I’m a little suspicious at how you know what marriage counselors will suggest ok average. Can I ask how you know this info?
