Brooklyn, there is a reason we are educated with halacha. When I learnt hilchos shabbos and how to apply it, I don’t bother my Rabbi every time I come across a situation, unless the situation is different than what I was taught about. Can you imagine if I would ask my Rabbi every week about the same thing? Its ludicrous! So, my Rabbi tells me what the halacha is, and then I apply it. When I come across something that is different, then I consult my Rav again.
I have to be able to apply halacha to my own life. There is no one standing there with me at every step of the way. Otherwise, we would each have our own Rabbi walking right behind us. Its a crazy thought.
I would rather have my Rav spend time answering questions that need answering, not “Should I attend sheva brachos?” The only time I would consult him on going to sheva brachos for example might be if its for someone I know who is Reform because they might count me in a minyan (I have no clue if reform does sheva brachos, just a hypothetical). I never hesitate to call my Rav if the situation warrants it, but I don’t bother my Rav unnecessarily!
