Straightforward: my 29-year-old son is dating a 16-year-old girl he met at a jazz festival this summer. Openly. He had a same age long-term girlfriend until last year, when they broke up amicably. We really loved her, she was basically our daughter-in-law and we’re still in touch. His current girlfriend’s parents know about their relationship & are cool with it. For the record: it’s also legal in our country. We don’t think it’s right though, he’s a grown ass man while she’s a high schooler. He’s also very successful professionally, handsome, takes good care of himself, has a good personality, etc. so it’s not like he’s lacking options. He just says he likes her - that’s his why. He’s not a bad person, I know that, but still this whole situation has changed our perception of him quite a bit. We’re having a rough time to say the least.
Is abortion an option?
That’s disgusting of him. He won’t ever see it that way if the culture around him doesn’t present it as an issue however.
I don’t know, at 29 it may be too late.
Anyway, is “abortion” the word you meant to use? There’s no pregnancy mentioned in the post.
I am given to understand it is an article of oblique humour.
gerutta here with dem big city talk!
But it’s fun
True, that.
True. If the girl’s parents themselves don’t see it as an issue regarding their own teen daughter, there’s genuinely nothing that we could do about a fully grown adult man.
