Why do you advise against marriage before having kids? Against getting your mind right? Against working hard? I'm interested in why you disagree with all my advice

Marriage before children offers no guarantee of a successful relationship or parenting. I will restrict my response to your prayer comment and just tell you that another's religion is none of your business. OP came in looking for support and encouragement and you came off as judgemental.

You are moving the goals posts my brother, I never typed the word guarantee before this reply. You are stating that because marriage offers no guarantee of a successful relationships or parenting you advise against getting married? Seat belts don't guarantee my safety in a car but I still advise people to wear them.

Why would you be against prayer? I made no mention of religion, I said "Pray regularly". You can speak your intentions to the universe, you can say the lord's prayer if you're Christian, you can say ayat al kursi if you're Muslim. I made no mention of religion, I spoke on spiritually. Please explain why you'd advise against strengthening your faith and ties to the universe.

I give someone advise and tell them what they need to do to better their life and that became judgemental how? Did I say "Oh I'd never do this...you're an idiot for doing that..." No. I don't know this man or what allowed him to end up in this predicament, who am I to judge him. But I can recognize that he's hurting and looking for help, and you don't do that unless you made decisions that have put you in a position of hurting.

You're projecting your own assumptions onto my advise. Realize that you advised this man against working hard, against getting your mind right. All because you had a strong emotional reaction to my advise. Which most likely stems from a previously bad experience with someone who have similar advise as mine. Take a step back brother and realize what we've EACH WRITTEN. Not what you can infer, from your assumption, based off your experience with people who say...but what we've EACH WRITTEN. And you'll find that to disagree with EVERYTHING I've advised is asinine, fairly immature, and speaks to your projections moreso than my words

Who is moving goalposts? Why are you so busy pushing marriage onto someone? I don't advise people to get married or not get married.

Sure prayer isn't religion. Any other fairy tales you would like to spin? I am an atheist, just who should I pray to, a computer? You didn't recommend meditation or consulting others with more experience, which he specifically asked for support groups, but you bitched he wasn't married first and said he should pray and his head wasn't right.

I am still standing with my assertion of all of it.
