When we seek advice from a trusted friend or counselor, we then have a choice whether to follow said advice. The counsel may be wise or unwise, but the couselor only has the obligation to give the advice, not to follow-through on the advice themselves or make you do what they suggested you do. Consequences will come whether we follow counsel or not.
Psalm 32:8-9 says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.” Have a decision to make? Let the Lord gently instruct you. He is wise and omniscent. He is also good and has plans for your welfare, not to harm you (Jeremiah 29:11). But be sure to follow His leading though. Consequences will come if we ignore the Lord’s instruction.
