He went and talked to girlfriend in person yesterday and guess what? They worked it out!

Dc said he talked to her about how it made him uncomfortable, but admitted that he thought he’d said something before, but maybe hadn’t been clear. Gf apparently said she hadn’t realized it might bother him- he hadn’t been clear- and she felt bad and would consider his feelings in the future. But she reminded him he needed to trust her, as she trusts him, and that these are friends. Dc agreed that was fair. So they both seemed to accommodate and compromise for the other, and all is good.

Dc was happy they talked it out. All in all, a good teen relationship experience imo

Sounds very mature. Just so long as everyone understands she might think she is just friends with these other boys but odds are high one or both of them carries a torch for her.

You are very invested in this convo

As are you, evidently.

As you say, he doesn't own her.

You are reliving your past.
I hope you find serenity.

No, he does not have a point. He doesn't get to control her.

Is she also posting pics with OP’s son, the bf? If so, I agree. But if not, right or not, I would be bothered in his shoes.

OP, you sound like a great Mom. I think you handled everything as best you could!
