What is the WORST marriage advice you have ever received from a relationship "expert"?

Advice from an "professional" who provides such advice for a living, not just as a hobby or to be nosy.

And not advice given to you personally, but rather advice you heard or saw or read about. Perhaps on the radio, a TV talk show, a magazine, a newspaper, an online column, or even a book.

Did you KNOW that it was terrible advice at the time, or did you try it out first?

Make it seem like you might be seeing other people to get him him more interested in you.
Urinate with the door open, seriously I read this in a women’s magazine.
If your partner is hitting you, and it isn’t too serious you should try and find out what you can do to get them to stop maybe you are not meeting their needs.

I knew it was all bad advice and I didn’t take it.

    Worst relationship advice that my parents received and tried was to stay together for the kids.

    "That there always needs to be a compromise, you always need to find a solution to your issues"…

    I agree that compromising is important and you can’t get through a marriage without it.I also think that you need to solve your major relationship problems and find a solution.

    But I believe sometimes you just need to agree to disagree. Pick your battles. Learn what is important and what you just accept. I think some problems don’t need to be solved, some problems can’t be solved. Trying to solve these problems only cause more problems than you had to begin with. So if its not a deal breaker, accept it and move forward.

    Yes I tried it in the beginning, it was useless. I am much happier with the approach I figured out with common sense then I ever was with that ridiculous text book BS.

    That down the road if infidelity occurred, forgiveness and staying married is key. I knew it was terrible and if it had ever happened to me I was not going to follow it.

    My sister used to love Sylvia Brown. Well, after my sisters boyfriend passes in a motorcycle accident I looked up in Sylvia Brown’s book about death and she said that breaking up with someone is harder than if they died… Do you think my sister felt that way?
