[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]It’s very weird you’re so fixated on her having sex. She’s 23 with a career, not a child. And guess what, she probably quite enjoys having sex with him.

Maybe he is using her, maybe he isn’t. Early 20s are for going through those experiences and figuring things out. MYOB and let her live her life. [/quote][/b]

So weary of this they are “adults at 18, butt out” nonsense. The OP may lack guile in her wording, but most of us parents who nurtured, cosseted, coached and cherished our offspring 100 percent get the need for early 20s gentle guidance/advice without being overly intrusive. Like it or not, the world still operates in sexist and outdated ways: these are her prime years and she sacrifices a lot by not dating others. I don’t think it is a case of him “using” her, he is just in a difficult, labor intensive time in his life. I think she should date others casually, but if she is adamantly opposed I think she should be assured of exclusivity. If talks of engagement/marriage  before residency don’t materialize in a year or so, she should re-evaluate. [/quote]

You don't have to like it but your child isn't your robot. They are entitled to live the life they choose even if that means making some mistakes. You Gen x parents  are obsessed with your kids living " perfect" lives to their detriment. You and op need to butt out and get lives of your own.[/quote]
