A woman wrote on Reddit to ask for help with her difficult family situation. One of her kids, who has had a rough love life, has finally met his true love. But the woman was a little shocked by what the girl told her about herself when she met and talked to her son’s girlfriend in person. The woman isn’t sure how to tell her husband about her son’s boyfriend because she thinks he might not like them being together.
One of the woman’s three kids has been very unhappy.
55-year-old woman came to Reddit to write about her hard problem. At the beginning of her story, she talked about her family. Her sons are 32, 28, and 26 years old. All of her boys are now grown up and living on their own. Her two younger children have always been very friendly and social. In high school and college, they liked going to parties.
The third son of the woman is very focused on school and the future from a very young age. The baby moved out and into his own place. The woman goes on with her story by saying that her middle son’s ex-girlfriend was very bad.
“I’d like to say worse, but I read the rules here,” she wrote. They were dating since they were 17 years old, and she cheated on him a few times. My son didn’t leave her because he loved her, but he did leave her when he learned she was bad. It only took eight years. In any case, my oldest son married when he was 29 and my youngest is now engaged.
The woman’s middle son finally found happiness not long ago.
As the woman continues her story, she says that it has been hard for her middle son to get along with the rest of the family. People in his family didn’t treat him well because he is single. She has always known, though, that his ex got in the way of his love life and confidence. She wrote that his brothers don’t know what he went through.
This is what the woman’s husband thinks. He began dating a new girl six months ago; they only met lately. The woman told him she was glad to hear that he had found someone. He says she is very smart and well-educated. They are both interesting and have similar traits. She was thrilled to hear the news because her middle son is a bit of a nerd.
In any case, the woman wanted to meet her right away. Her son told her it would take some time because she is very shy. After six months, she told him she was ready to meet them. So, on Friday afternoon, her husband chooses to grill. Everybody comes over. The man’s son and his new girlfriend then show up.
The woman didn’t think she would say something about the man her son loved.
The woman wrote that the meeting day had finally come. “This beautiful girl walks in holding his hand and standing behind him,” she says of the good one. She is very shy, he was right. We all say our names, and we’ll call her Sadie. Sadie was quiet, but she said hello to everyone. That night, she really connected with our dog the most. My boys help their dad cook when they get home. “My soon-to-be-daughter-in-law and my granddaughter are best friends when they go out together,” I said.
The woman then asked Sadie if she could help her cut some things and finish the sides. Yes, she said. She only asked how they met and what they usually talk about. Her son finally came in and poked her back. She hit him in the arm and gave him a “really” look. He grabbed her and picked her up while they laughed.
“I say put her down, don’t be so rough on her,” the woman says. He just tells me to put her down and walks away. “Sorry, three boys,” I said. They are a little too rough sometimes, but he is safe. “I know he is,” she said. When I was younger, I also wrestled with my dad and brother. ‘Your mom let her daughter wrestle with her bigger brother and dad?’ She laughed and said, “Well, I was a boy, so I guess it was different.”
At first, the woman was shocked. Later, she learned that her son knew about it and didn’t mind.
The mother doesn’t know what to do next.
The woman has no idea what to do now. “I’m really shocked, but my son has never been so happy, so I dropped it,” she wrote. No, I really couldn’t believe it. You really wouldn’t know. She’s beautiful. She asked me if I had a different opinion of her. I told you I won’t care if you treat my son badly as long as you make him happy. Thank you, she said. Today I called my son because his dad wants to go to dinner with them and us just to get to know her better. “Sure, he said.”
Then she talks about the problem that could come up because her son has a new girlfriend. The woman writes, “I told him about our talk, and he said he knows.” He said she doesn’t talk about it at all because she is so shy about it. She’s just trying to stay out of sight. He said, “You know, we need to tell dad,” but they talked about how I could tell my husband first. Before the end of the day tomorrow.”
And now for another story about a tough family problem. You might agree with the woman who kicked out her pregnant daughter and her six kids because of the reason she gave.
