This may be the wrong place to post. Something has come up with my 19 y o son, relationship wise. I'm not sure if he's looking for my advice, blessing or my disapproval.
My son in a great kid with a good head on his shoulders about most things. However, he is not good with relationships. I remember being a teenager, but, their lives seem so much more drama filled though.
Emotionally, he is not terribly mature. When it comes to girlfriends it seems that by the 2nd date he is in love. When they have had sex she is now the future wife. This happens over and over.
Now here's the issue. Last night he mentioned a new "girl". She runs and lifts weights, is active and fit. Sounds to active for my kid to begin with. He mentioned a text she sent where she wants him to run with her and hang out. Ok, sounds alright. Then later he mentioned that she is ....
30....with two kids.
Whoa!!!! I do not like the sound of that. He's 19, She's 30 with 2 kids...had to say that again to make sure it was so.
I don't know her at all. She may be a wonderful person. But, I can't imagine anything good coming of this. He is so emotionally imature when it comes to relationships. She is most likely wanting to prove "she's still got it and can get a young buck".
I don't know why he mentioned this. He is usually kind of closed mouthed. I admit when I was 24 I dated a 43 yo. But, I had been around the block, I knew it was what it was. It was fun while it lasted. I just don't see him being able to deal with it. Sounds like if they hook up she's gonna be 30 with 3 kids (one of them mine).
Maybe I just needed to vent.
Thanks all.
