<p>Twoinanddone- wow. That sounds like a tough (and odd) situation you’re dealing with. FWIW, I would have said no too. It sounds like a lot of pressure being exerted by that family on you and your daughter. </p>
<p>I’m so grateful for the advice received on here to keep my mouth shut and let things unfold in their own time. . D leaves for school in two weeks and she and boyfriend have decided to end the relationship and not try to do the long distance relationship thing. They plan to remain supportive friends. There have been many tears but I was able to comfort her and support their decision without having gotten in the middle of things. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the transition is as smooth as possible. </p>
<p>OP - Thanks for the update. It’s better she made the decision for herself and also that she has 2 weeks to deal with the breakup before she heads off to college.</p>
<p>@Twoinanddone - How did the graduation thing go? Is your DD still dating him?</p>
<p>And best to keep the mouth shut should something change! ;)</p>
<p>I wrote upthread of my ds’s romance and how I thought this summer would be make or break. Well, they are stronger than ever. I am not looking forward to the goodbyes this fall. Neither is he, which is why he’s already purchased a ticket to come home this fall. He didn’t come home all last fall, and that was hard on all of us. He’ll fly into the airport closest to the gf Friday night and go to her school’s big game and live her college life. She’ll bring him to us Sunday afternoon, and he’ll fly home Monday night. I’m excited for them. And me!</p>
