Social media wants you single

I’ve been noticing how much relationship advice on social media seems to push us towards the same conclusion: leave, block, cut them off and move on. And while sometimes that is absolutely the right thing to do, I think we’ve started seeing normal conflict through a very black and white lens. So I wanted to talk about what that’s doing to the way we see our partners, our friends and the people we love, and why maybe not every difficult moment needs to be a reason to walk away and isolate ourselves even more.
