> "I would encourage you to get out of this relationship and take some time for yourself."

This advice sounds superficial and possibly harmful to me. I agree she needs to take time for herself, but that doesn't necessarily mean ending the relationship.

Those two seem really into each other, and loving each other. A separation might destroy what they have - something you don't easily find.

Saying "There are no shortage of men in the world." sounds like you can drop a partner and pick up another like they were cereal boxes.

She could reclaim some space on her own; she could propose a temporary pause in the relationship; they could try to both have therapy to explore their co-dependency issues. There are many possibilities.

And what about the boyfriend, who according to this advice would just be discarded? No consideration or empathy for him?

"Oh, just leave and sooner or later you will find another man. Who cares about your boyfriend, anyway". Really shallow.
