When friends are struggling with relationship problems, there is often one person everyone turns to for advice. Surprisingly, that person is not always happily married or in a long-term relationship. In many cases, it's the friend who is completely single.
At first glance, this seems contradictory. How can someone who isn't currently in a relationship offer valuable advice about one? Yet psychology suggests there may be a logical explanation. Being emotionally removed from a situation can sometimes provide a clearer perspective than being directly involved in it.
