My DS is quiet introverted person. He has an extremely kind hear. He's a poet/writer of sorts. I've often described him as very self contained.

He hasn't done a lot of dating. He fell hard for a girl last spring. She sort of strung him along in the friend zone for a while. Then decided she wanted to date him exclusively, then she wanted him to be exclusive but she didn't want it to apply to her.

He drew a line and said no. He doesn't have a lot of confidence when it comes to girls so I was surprised. He knows he deserves and should be treated better. Its just a HS heartbreak but I'm dang proud of him. It was very hard for him and she would've strung him a long as long as he put up with it.

I feel like not tolerating the non-sense from my X was a good example for him. I feel badly that he's hurting but I'm glad he knows better!

But that's just a lot of water
Underneath a bridge I burned
And there's no use in backtracking
Around corners I have turned

Yup! I have a nephew that stood up to his "I may want to date other people" girlfriend. I think my experience showed him that we all deserve better than that shit.

Well done! I know of a coworker's son who's GF can't decide on whom to choose between. Poor fellow is being dragged on and on.

I'd say quit the race and throw away the "prize".

He does deserve better... and how wonderful that he knows it and can stand up for himself to get it.

The right girl will come along, they are out there... I am raising 4 of them.

Hugs,

K
