My Son

[Janet]

Aw Gina....it must be really hard. I know it would be for me, I get attached too easily. It is good though that he's being honest with her and you. He's missed out some on dating since they were together 3.5 years. Maybe he needs to get out and find what he truly wants and needs. I know everyone is upset, but it is best to end things now before marriage and children come into the picture.

Gina, this must be very upsetting. I'm sure she feels like family by now.

Your son may be very wise. He understands their relationship and perhaps something vital is missing.

So hope all works out for all concerned.

I'm sorry this is happening Gina. It may be that he just needs to be sure that he really isn't missing out on anything. They are both young. It is much better than them getting married and it not working out.

I hope it all works out like a fairytale, Gina. They will get back together and be n love forever!

I have a cousin that did almost this exact thing. Mark's girlfriend was a wonderful girl and my Aunt just loved her. In my Aunt's opinion she was just perfect for Mark in every way. When Mark broke up with her she called my Aunt and they were both very upset. Everyone thought that they'd eventually get back together but it didn't happen. It ended up that Mark found another girl and in a short time they were married.

Don't give up hope. We can't understand all the reasons that our kids do what they do but I'm sure he's thought this over very carefully. It sounds like he's being very grown-up and is taking the decision about not keeping his girlfriend very seriously. It's really hard to let our kids make their own decisions sometimes. He sounds like a very responsible boy.

I know how you feel. Same thing happened to me and I am still very close to Cory's X, love her so much. He broke her heart and mine.
Hope things work out for the best.

I know how you feel, too! Blasted boys NEVER ask us if it's ok to break up with girlfriends. It does make you guard your heart so you won't get attached to their girlfriend, just in case they break up. It's hard on us moms! If it makes you feel any better, I ended up with the best two dil's in the world

I'm learning something here....yet again!!! I have to make mental note not to get too attached to girlfriends of my son.....just in case.
