My son is 20 and his ex-girlfriend is 18. He's been at college for 2 years, but came home nearly every weekend to visit with her. Well, this year, after she graduated form high school, she went into wild co-ed mode, and he basically told her she needed to grow up. She felt he was trying to control her, and so they broke up. They remained friends for about a month, and my son was ok with that; that is, until she started dating another guy. Now he's upset. He says he was willing to wait for her to go through her first excitement of being away from home, but he didn't think she'd start dating another guy. On her Facebook page she talks about drinking, partying, missing class, and my son is very disappointed. They had dated for 2-1/2 years, and of course they were dreaming about "forever together". He's away at school, so I basically just check in with him and let him sound off if he wants. There's really nothing you can do but be available. There's no magic wand to take away the heartache, but they do remember later that you were sympathetic. This is just part of life.
