I'm disappointed in my son. Have reached out to him multiple times, and finally asked if there was anything wrong? For those in my history, my ex remarried after our divorce and tried to adopt him with the new guy. I fought. 10 years, and then we all figured it out. Just went to his graduation in May. New Husband is now ex husband. And I **** the bed. I tell him everything, including that my son's GF is sub par, IMO. He agrees. But could he have told my son I feel his live in GF is wrong? I'll wait and see. I'd be hurt if he said things behind my my back, because I truly liked him.
I sent him this. One thing I've learned in the past few years is to hear the French Horn. Never even thought about it before.
Are you quite certain your son or his GF does not use this site? You are giving away a lot of personal details here.
I can understand and personally agree with that, but everyone has their own preferences in body-type/weight. But your son giving you the silent treatment over such a minor (IMO) nitpick is kind of weird. Is he the type to be super-sensitive to criticism?
You need to understand this is just a guess. I had a great time with his step dad during his graduation, and we both shared that he could do better. No biggie. My nephew is about to marry a girl that he is eons above and we all know it, but my brother says "he's good for her." Just odd that he hasn't responded to me in a couple months. No actual idea why yet, but because I'm now friends with the stepdad I know he's responding to him, at least with likes. Kinda depressing. I think I'll have a drink.
They've known each other since jr high. I'm shallow, which is why I'm single. But I get scared about an overweight 23 yr old. As a parent, you should understand that. I don't know her. She's very shy. But, you know what? So was I towards parents when I was that age. I thought I was being respectful, but my fiance back in the day said they didn't trust me. Look. I'm banging your daughter. Have been for quite a while. I'm going to feel a bit meek when I initially you. I'm 50, so that fence has been crossed. And yet I'm still flummoxed on Dad's taking my meekness/respect for hiding/shady stuff. Maybe I still do it. I don't mean to. Hell, I was walking to my Target and in the backlot there's always lazy asses who take their carts to the edge of the property (I've seen worse) So I pulled the carts back to the guy. Told him they were all accounted for. He was so thankful he kept talking about random ****. To me, it was a minor exercise. I guess I'm just a weird guy.
Yeah.... that's shallow. She could turn out to be the absolute best thing that has ever happened to him.
You don't have to be a size 2 to be good looking. It's probably best to let him decide who he wants to date.
This is an important time in your kid's life. Let him know how happy you are that he's found someone special and stay on the girl's good side. Trust me on that. I don't mind extra pounds on a woman. Now if she's lazy in general I would run like hell, but it's your kid's life.
You're his father but seem to want to be his friend. It's no business of yours who he dates, or who he feels makes him happy, or anything else in his personal life. If he asks you for advice about anything, then give it. Your job is to support him. It's his sibling's or close friend's job to tell him he's an idiot if and when he needs that conversation.
