Most female divorce advice is usually grounded on 0 legal basis. I've heard the dumbest stories of women demanding things lawyers would laugh at because their friends who also know nothing want some drama to talk about. It's like they are part of a reality TV show and their feelings are actionable demands and requests and their advice is to create the most chaos. And in terms of life advice women give the worst life advice to each other, it's never for the good of the person they are advising, because if the crap hits the fan those friends will distance themselves when the person makes a bad choice and needs to talk about it. Contrast that to male friends and most guys going through this seek people who went through it or married friends for good advice to help fix things or to help with how to deal with the inner turmoil.
In my case she was getting advice the most from a divorced friend who cheated on her husband, is dating a married man and hopes on taking his last name in marriage even though he likes the arrangement he has now. She told her things that I heard in audio recordings that stbxw regurgitated like a ventriloquist dummy. Her other friends all either ended their marriages for stupid reasons or are single promiscuous no hope women.
They will seek advice from people who portray being happy even though they aren't and disregard people in successful marriages because they want to feel good and enjoy fun. The successful marriage advisors tell them it's hard work, and for rebellious waywards they hear fun and run in that direction and ignore the taking accountability/working on marriage crowd and see them as old fashioned or boring.
