text: Getting advice from people who have different relationships with you may affect who you ask and the advice you get. If you want advice on your relationship with your mom, spouse, or cousin you probably don't want to ask your mom, spouse, or cousin for advice about them selves. For me, personally, I like to ask my friends relationship advice about my family and ask my family advice about my friends that way no one knows I am asking for advice about our relationship but I still get all the opinions I need. Relationships get messy when they cross paths so asking multiple people for advice will really help make sure you are making the right decision.
