    My teenage son is going through a rough time lately. He's had a girlfriend who broke up with him recently, and he's developing some pretty deep emotional issues because of the break up. He is still hung up on her and can't let the relationship go. Part of the problem, too, is that she wants to date his best friend, but the worst part is that she calls our house, seemingly enjoying the drama that it produces when she does so.

    What to do, what to do... I don't know what to say to him. It's a sore issue and I'm afraid that I might make matters worse. I want to tell him that she's just a little skank who's feeding on the pain he's feeling, and that he should move on, but I know he's still very emotionally attached to the little bitch. :shrug:

    Is it possible to detach a teenager from his first love?

    time heals all wounds.

    a few things at work here-

    one factor is the best friend: tell your son that this best friend probably will, most likely not even be a friend as he gets older.

    but the best way to deal with the girl is for him to ignore her completely. most of the time it takes two and she may call your house but also your son must be calling her. this is the opposite of what he should be doing.

    Hm. When a friend of mine's grandson broke up with his teen love, some girlfriends and I fawned over him. He is adorable, and it built his confidence a bit to have "older" (twenties) girls flirt with him, although nothing would come of it since he's seventeen. An, "Oh, Tanner, you're so handsome/nice/sweet, I wish I was seventeen again!" can do wonders. Just a suggestion.

    This and that

    No. But it is possible to distract him. With his second love. Or just a cheap, anonymous, one-night throw.

    Unfortunately, I'm not sure what you can do to facilitate this. Or, rather, sure, I can think of a few ideas, but they either have grotesque implications (get him a hooker), or a low probability of success (take him out for a guys' night, see if you can help him charm his way into another woman's pants ... I mean arms ... no, wait, I mean pants).

    Either way, it might seem a bit creepy, and I wouldn't blame you at all if it did.

    Agreed. But there is a question of feasibility. Personally, for instance, while I reject marriage as a general option for my own life, there is one person left in the world I would hitch up with in a heartbeat. Reality, however, advises that this will never happen. So I don't worry about it. To the other, it took me nearly ten years to understand that point.

    And, yes, she was my first true love.

    Be careful, life tells us we must be watchful of things. The girl who's his female is wanting to cuddle with his best friend, it's sick and weird. I would drug her and tell him to have a threesome lol Sorry :W my mind works mysteriously

    bowser there really is nothing you can do, he will get over it when hes ready. HOWEVER watch for signs that its changing from acute sadness to chronic depression, THATS when you should be stepping in and getting proffessional help. Apart from that just let him deal with it his way

    No, you don't have a mysterious mind, you have a dysfunctional one.

    Hmm, my first reaction was to suggest drugging and raping the girl, too.

    Oh, no wait, I'm not a 30 year old virgin.

    Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on him. We just sat down with him and had a long discussion about the situation: he's very bummed out.

    So advocating drugging and raping the girl is your mind working "mysteriously"?

    Bowser my suggestion is: find him another girl. Through a female accomplice or a friend, tell her the story of how he feels, make your friends help you find him another girl.

    One day Draq you may, possibly, get a clue as to how things work in life.
    But there's little evidence of it so far.

    is that a remark of a winner or a looser? :bugeye: where do you stand? on pedestal or deep in a ravine? :bugeye: I can't tell.

    Have you got it working with women in the way you want it to?

    Well, I would hazard a guess and say that he has had sex. You are still a virgin.

    What does that tell you?

    It tells me that I never cried, like he did, inside me. I never fell from heaven.
    Nor ever was there. I never was deceived and my hope in love remains as strong as his if he had made the right choice.

    Pray, and I did, with God's grace and action on my part I found my love.

    So you missed:
    You think putting another woman in front him is going to do anything?
    When you want a particular person you don't say "Oh look, there's somebody free, I'll just fall out of love".
    And as for "find him another girl": women are not a commodity.

    well his son is obviously a fool. Only a fool picks a girl which is not loyal and fails to see her true self. So it will not take long to trick him again.

    That does not hold true for me though. My woman will be faithful to me and I will prove my faith to her and my love to her through action. For she gives me faith and I have faith in her as well. We are stronger united.

    In my world a man who has sex with many women in his lifetime as a recreation, is not a winner, nor a looser, he is lost for purpose of life is to attain spiritual enlightenment through love which can only be one. A flesh rots, a spirit lives forever.

    Through rivers of time when we are no longer of this world, what will you see yourself as, when we meet as souls alone? Without memories, how will you see yourself than?

    And again you fly off into the depths of Loopy land.
    His son is not a fool.
    And he wasn't tricked.
    You have to trust someone to let them become close to you. And only people close to you can hurt you.
    And you can NEVER tell beforehand whether someone is fully trustworthy or not.

    Yeah, and I've a bridge or two you might want to buy.
