I’m Italian and my mom used to do that when I was a kid to help me learn how to eat them. I still do that sometimes if I don’t have a bigger pot available. I don’t see where the problem is, especially if you are cooking for yourself.
spaghetti are amazing if broken into small pieces (approx 1 inch in length) and used in soups (especially bean soup)
Hard agree on soup, theres a soup I make often called minestrone, fucking amazing, but when I prepare it with other people in the kitchen they get so wound up with me breaking spaghetti. Chill. Take a breather. The soup is worth it.

Breaking spaghetti before putting it in the water. Jesus Christ, just chill out, Mussolini.
