I’m not going to shell you (lol) but I am going to offer a different perspective. I was 10 when this came out and watched it again recently. The ol’ girl holds up mostly because of how women are portrayed in the films you cited. At the time this was released the P!nk “Stupid Girls” vs. Lindsay, Paris, Britney thing…

The fact that you’re hoping somebody tears this guy a new asshole when all he’s doing is offering reasonable advice with a nice heap of stuff that you certainly disagree with but is ultimately harmless says far more about you than him, and I say this as an agnostic.

You’re too dense to understand what he’s doing. He is doing something that you, for all your sanctimonious self righteousness, are incapable of doing: having some empathy with what that person’s thought process and communicating in a manner that he will understand.

Nice advice. From a non christian perspective, I think drowning should have seen his pastor rather than posting online.

I’m not sure what kind of answer “Drowning” was looking for asking someone relationship advice who 1)does not share the same faith convictions or 2)ascribes to a “whatever feels good/works for you philosophy” or 3) isn’t even a doctor.
