Some social media users did not agree with Leigh's opinion

@Sam_Baja shared a lengthy response:

"A person is projecting her parents experiences onto her own relationship expecting to experience happiness in her own relationships without asking her parents why they chose such a life. Why choose unhealthy intimacies habits while expecting meaningful relationships?"

@djTSS_SA said:

"Mina nje it won't last even a year. I will move on if you don't like to be around me that means you don't love me."

@Jdream_sa added:

"If you can't stand your partner for more than 3 days then you shouldn't marry him... this is a weird world we live, like 2 separate houses for married intimate spouses!"
