The bigger story (for me) is the frustration a parent has to endure watching their child clatter their way clumsily through their early years ignoring the voices of experience, preferring to make their own often horrific choices then bemoaning the consequences.

Agreed. I want my kids to tell me nothing. I provide the pocket money - rest is up to them.

Yeah. Girlfriend was too clingy. He initiated a bit of a trial separation (this all sounds a bit Friends, doesn't it?), was invited out by lady2, now claims he felt wracked with guilt which was why Mr Floppy stepped in. He then decided to get back with girlfriend but she was suspicious of what he'd been up to so (against his father's advice) he decided that honesty was the best policy. And here we are.

Which is how I came to have a son in the first place, thinking about it.

sad but I suspect he has had a lucky escape. Clingy girlfriends turn into scary significant others.

Honesty by the way is the best policy if you want a future, not so much if you just want a shag.

my son had a similar scenario, aged 19. I took him for a beer and explained to him that no woman no cry, no woman no cry.
I got him another ale and went on to explain that Good friends we have, oh, good friends we have lost Along the way, yeah!.
He sort of got the gist and I finished up by explaining that In this great future, you can't forget your past.
oh yeah
no woman no cry

[I just need to test it]

So he tried to bone another woman and his girlfriend found out?

Is he woe is me over the lost girl friend or the fact he couln'd get it up, as to be honest you'd get better advice from most people on here about the latter rather than the former

Take him to a high class hooker?

He would fall in love with the hooker.

Having your heart broken is like stubbing a toe badly. Humougously painful at first but the pain gradually subsides.

The person with the broken heart is grieving for the future they thought they would have with the other person. Other, better futures then emerge, however, so just wait for a bit and it gets better.

Actually no, he didn't.

Stage fright.

[BrilloPad]

My boy, just so everyone's aware, is the first person in history to ever have his heart broken by a woman. Though of course it does feel like that when it's you, doesn't it?

He has progressed (very loose use of that expression) from lying on the settee looking morose to posting needy tulip on Facebook (she's still a FB friend).

Somehow I seem incapable of offering moral support beyond "There there. It'll all feel better in a while" though I have discouraged him from posting more crap on FB.

If anyone has any helpful anecdotes to share of how they coped in similar situations I will be sure to pass them on. Thanks.

Make sure he does not find out you are now going out with her?
