If there is another girl he thinks he might like, tell him to ask her out.

Current girl wants space so give it to her but that doesnt mean your son needs to sit him feeling sorry for himself.

Plenty of fish in the ocean.

I've reminded my daughter several times how few high school relationships last long term. I can only think of a few.

I'm not sure sure it does any good with kids that age though. Luckily he'll get over it quickly.

My son’s in 8th grade. Same relationship essentially. They will go to different high schools in 9th grade. I will monitor this topic for replies as I’ll be here in about 6 months.

My wife will be devastated as the two moms (no pics) are now buddies.

I’ve raised a few young men. I was always brutally honest with them. I’d tell them, she has another guy, that’s why she dumped you. She needs space……for him. Chin up and know your worth and don’t let it keep you down. It will suck for a short time, you will be fine.

Now he's worried if he gives her space she will find another.


Well, yeah. Better he learns that now than later.

He needs to learn now. You never allow a woman to have that kind of leverage on you. Tell him to agree with her, and don’t look back.

It ain't about that, it is about all that groundwork he had laid working up to getting that nookie.

Fred knows




I assume even today 9th grade isn't like college where you can get laid on any given night with a little effort and maybe lowering your standards a little. You have to put in the time and it sucks to go back to zero.

Point out to him that there are 800 other real live girls he'll see every day, just at his high school. This one is replaceable.

Don’t get involved. At best this is mom territory…just tell him to stop his whining and give him some chores to keep him busy.

I raised 2 through the teen years.

One would cry over anything.

The other wouldn't cry if you hit her with a brick.

I thought I treated them both about the same.
