We can only hope to control our own minds and reactions. We can respectfully disagree with others' conduct but always we must come back to ourselves and examine our own biases and emotional charge... then come back to it with a level head. When you put yourself out there on this forum you are opening yourself to all kinds of energy and the advice which is offered may, to your ears, be unnecessarily harsh, biased, presumptuous--but I can tell you, having been through a very similar experience on this board to that too which you are referring (I think), that humility and patience, while not immediately available when you are hearing things you don't like, will go a long way. Trust me, I know how annoying it is to hear that your relationship is following a pattern others are familiar with, because they can't know the nuances of your situation or the depths of your feeling. Whether their advice is right or wrong, whether it's far-seeing and accurate or merely a guess, you still need to go through the steps towards understanding of the verity or falseness of those words on your own. Nobody can walkyour path for you, and nobody can take away your lesson learning merely by giving you the answer before you can work out the problem.
When relationship advice is given which doesn't fit with our current perceptions it can sound like it's coming totally out of left field. But sometimes other people DO have more experience. Sometimes there really is quite a lot to be gained from the insights they take pains to share with you. You don't need to believe it, you don't need to engage with it. Just try to understand that it isn't an attempt at domination, but an honest attempt to help, from a personality and a soul which doesn't pretend to be perfect. We all have our stuff
This forum isn't a guaranteed professional astrology experience. You need to consult with a professional astrologer if you are results oriented. The astrologer may not tell you what you want to hear either, so be warned on that count...
Still, I understand and respect your complaint. It would be nice if we could all be very very sensitive to the fact that the person on the other side of the screen is an emotive being who has a rich inner life and a complex experience which we do not know, and be mindful of that at all times, and always conduct ourselves with the utmost respect for one another. We are all divine beings deserving of the exact same reverence we bestow on ourselves and our beloveds. We must strive to always tear everybody with love and respect, because what you do unto others really, you are doing to yourself.
