I am not knocking the comments and statements made by those that have something legit to say, however, I believe that he needs to work this out with his gf.

Some people come to regard a message forum that they frequently participate in as a comfortable environment with people they become familiar with over time.
Personally, I wouldn't have gone public with the matter myself...but that's just me. I tend to work things out for myself or talk it over with close friends or family. But that said, I can certainly understand why someone would choose to reach out to whatever forum they feel most comfortable communicating with. Can't fault him for that.
As Raven pointed out, for the most part the thread remained quite civilised given the topic. Yep, there was some debate both pro and con - but there was also several empathetic and understanding posts that simply offered neutral suggestions and supportive advice.
I don't usually get involved in these kinds of overly personal threads, but this particular topic hits home for me. I've walked the same mile in those shoes in the past.
