He's against people abandoning relationships in all but the most extreme circumstances.
I didn't quite get the sentence, at that "in all but" part to be exact. Is it "in all circumstances but not the extreme ones" or is it "in almost all extreme circumstances", in which "all but" means "almost"?

against x in all but the most extreme situations means:
does not approve of x unless there is a really serious reason for it
so here, the person thinks people should stay in their relationship. but perhaps in a very very bad case, he would allow someone to abandon their relationship
another example is "He's against violence in all cases but self defense", meaning he will allow self defense, but not allow any other type of violence
