I don't know if you know but this guy is a misogynistic idiot who really doesn't have any useful life advice and def shouldn't be quoted or even listened to.

He's a clinical psychologist who entered the political sphere. For several years he had perfectly reasonable advice. He then had an extremely adverse reaction to a prescribed medication, and after his recovery, he went off the deep end a little bit and started talking a whole lot outside his realm of expertise.

He's a decent guy, claims of various x-ism's are mostly made up or can only be arrived through very subjective or personal interpretations.

Here is a video by him relevant to your issues that can give you a little to chew on. Judge for yourself.

That's a bold claim. He certainly has useful life advice and can be quoted as a psychology professional, even though you may not personally agree with some or many of his perspectives. But to dismiss him by saying he's an idiot shows that you aren't a reasonable person to argue with anyways, therefore, your very own opinion should be taken with a grain of salt by the readers here.

Whether it does or it doesn't, I personally prefer to get my relationship advice from someone who doesn't use their platform to spew hate. There is so much good advice out there that we don't need to be quoting hateful people (and in the process teaching someone, or maybe several someones, about a person they should all stay far the fuck away from).
