I felt bad for my daughter. A child with a big, generous, compassionate heart.
She came in the house late after her spring formal, a BFD to her and her GF's., tears running down her cheeks mixed with make-up,, formal dress on,, sat on the living room floor,,,
"My evening sucked, (her date) Cameron never talked to me or danced at all." she said.
"He just hung out with his friends.
But after a BORING nite,,, a really cute boy Joe came up and made me laugh, and at least talked to me."
"Do ya wanna be with him anymore?" I asked.
"No" she said,,, " but I don't know how to not hurt him. He always ignors me."
"Pick up the phone and tell him it's over,, leave a voice mail if you feel better about it." I said.
5 minutes later the drama was over.
"OK,, now call Joe " I told her.
Was I an as$hole for suggesting that???
I figured no more pain,,, if Cameron can't do better to hold onto his girl,,,,, he's gotta go.
Worked,, daughter happy,,, seemed painless.
Ok,,, so what happened in the past with your GF or BF and how did YOU handle it???
