[quote=Anonymous]I have two friends from college who went to all girls’ schools. Both did coed club sports and had high school boyfriends (one from ski team and one from swim team) and both dated normally in college and ended up marrying guys they met after college.

I also have a mom friend who was homeschooled, wasn’t allowed to date or even hang out with boys at all. She went to a Christian college and met and married her first boyfriend. He was a terrible person who had an affair and also had a shopping problem and blew through their savings and all the money set aside for their child’s education. This is an extreme case, but she missed so many signs along the way. She told me that when they were dating he used one of those laptop privacy screens so she could never see his screen and she was never allowed to use it. This continued after they got married. She also told me that while they were dating, he would go through her texts on her phone and had access to her gmail account but she couldn’t see or access his. She told me that she didn’t know that these were red flags. She is doing great now, but I blame her parents for sheltering her so much. [/quote]
