You are being called out for giving advice without showing where you are coming from. No one is required to post their story first, but it helps folks to know where you're coming from.
Moderators here have NEVER posted fake stories here to make the site seem more active. I'm sure there are people who do that here, but we don't monitor that. We only moderate for our rules.
We are here to DB, to help folks save their marriages / relationships. The BEST help you can be is to share your story, what worked, what hasn't worked--not judge or evaluate someone's situation on a meta-level. The ONLY experts here are Michele and her coaches.
