Exactly.
If you don't agree with someone's advice, it helps to look at where they are from as their culture oftentimes has an effect on the advice that they give. If someone doesn't agree with the advice, then no need to pick it apart because your cultural norms don't agree with it. In India it may be perfectly fine to get the rest of the family involved if the husband has said that he doesn't love the wife anymore.
