[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if they've been together for few years and your DC says they are the one and its just a matter of time before they commit?[/quote]

I'm the PP right above your comment and I still say no, not close. My DS and his GF have been together for almost three years. [/quote]

Why not?[/quote]

I already said. It is not MY relationship, it's theirs. Until and unless they are married, that is how it is. If they are married, the SO (significant other) becomes part of the family, but not until the are engaged in my mind. I have friends who befriended their kids SO and their entire families. They followed each other on social media, talked often, did parties and dinners together. Low and behold the kids broke up and tons of gossiping and blaming went on, shattering those "friendships".  WAY too much drama. They also go involved in family matters with the SO such as family arguments where the SO was kicked out of the house and went to stay with my friends family, causing even more drama between the families. It was bad. I will never do that.  It's not my relationship.  I also never want my DC to feel that they can't come to me for advise or too confide in me because they think i am too close to their SO to be on their side or be non judgemental.[/quote]
