Hey Geomom, No doubt it is BS . . . I thought about printing out that article that talks about how BAD friends advice can be, no matter how well intentioned. It amazes me that folks even try.
I remember back before I was ever married, working in a Warehouse where one of my coworkers was having problems with his wife. It was lunchroom fodder one day, with everyone telling the poor guy to leave the "B%#^CH and such. It had been building for weeks. I got ticked and told'em all they needed to stop the crap, they didn't know what they were talking about anyway, etc.
I've always believed that "When in doubt" try to encourage a relationship rather than discourage it. Early in life, it was mainly spats among friends and family, but it seems good advice in marriages too. Oh well, I suppose I'm a minority.
For the record: Thinking about what I'll do if I'm single . . .been there, done that, may again . . .but don't need 'advice' like that just yet.

Life may be short, but . . . well . . . it actually IS short, now that I think about it . . . . particularly when compared to planetary formation and stuff.
