“Yeah, I disagree with her advice tbh (once you’ve been dating for at least a year). If the relationship ends, yeah, it can be awkward and uncomfortable. But that’s life. You learn and you move on,” penned a second, while a third despaired: “We’re broke Michelle.”

A fourth quipped: “Yeah I don’t think even Michelle Obama understands this. I’ve been in the profoundly sh*tty situation of not being able to end a relationship because I simply would not have been able to afford to live on my own. I didn’t have parents or anyone I can just move in with.”
