What was the WORST relationship advice that you have ever received?
I don’t necessarily mean a joke or a malicious comment (although you can include those if you wish).
I’m looking for well-meaning advice given by someone who sincerely wanted to help that just turned out to be flat-out wrong.
What made the advice so terrible?
Did you KNOW that it was terrible advice at the time, or did you try it out first?
Someone gave me advice saying, it is okay to go after someone even if they have a girlfriend and since he has been flirting with you he will go out with you. When I was in high school as a freshman someone told me that and you can just imagine how that one ended up. Come to find out that next year I ended up dating the guy anyways (dumb thing to do)

I was told when I was 15 by my friend to date the gorgeous 20 year old, because he was hot. I ended up losing my virginity too young and being broken hearted after 6 years.

The worst advice is when someone tells you to be yourself. That’s a bunch of BS. If being myself was good enough for her, then she would have stayed instead of going after pieces of shit that treat her like garbage.

I separated from my wife, and my friends all told me that if I loved her I should fight for her and try everything I could to get her back. Well I did, and I ended up pushing her further away, they should have told me to give her some space.
