It happens every day… one of my friend's status updates lets me (and their other 1000 friends) know they’re having second thoughts or troubles in the relationship they’re currently in.

But when a page created as an advertising ploy for a 50 year old toy line starts asking people what they think should be done in a relationship, I have to say something about it.
