My teenage son's best friend is seeing his ex.
My son is in love with his ex, they broke up a week or so ago. She says she's not seeing anyone else, just needs a break and if she decides to want to be with someone, it will be him. They are both 17. The thing is, his best friend and her are seeing each other behind his back... should I say something to him, will he hate me if I do? How should I handle this?
Hurts to see my son waiting around when his ex and best friend are seeing each other. HELP! |

Honestly, stay out of your son's relationships... I know it sounds horrible, but this is a learning experience for him... if it's his first real relationship, it's OK. He'll learn, and grow, and become stronger in future relationships. If you jump in, you'll hurt him even more. And through time, he'll start to lose an interest in this girl. Encourage him to hang out with friends, and such. He'll more on. No worries. |

I agree with the above post.
I went through something similar when I was a freshman in high school, my best friend and boyfriend started dating immediately after he and I had broken up. I didn't really know about it for awhile, and when I found out, it did hurt. But it really is a learning experience, and to be completely honest, if my parents had known and tried to intervene it would have been really embarrassing. I would have felt like I was a little kid with my parents coming to the rescue, the last thing I would have wanted to deal with along with the other hurt. Relationships, no matter what age, are obviously personal and should be dealt with the people directly involved. Give him the advice that it's for the best that he moves on from her, and to not wait for someone because they will not always wait for you. Give him the confidence to be independent from the situation. He will be alright; just try to be there as much as possible for him so that when/if he does find out he knows he has your support and love. |

I did everything you've mentioned before. I agree that I should let it go, but it's so hard, it hurts me more than it hurts him, I feel. Anyway, I got home yesterday to find out that he told her he wanted to break up 100% no waiting or anything. I'm so proud of my boy.
