[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. You have to talk to him openly about this. What you wrote here, tell him. This is too important to just play polite and let it go unsaid until it is too late.

He needs to step it up big-time, because even if they do get married, she might be fed up with him at some point. But if this is his best chance, it is still time to improve himself.

Good luck![/quote]

Thank you for the thoughtful response. Good to know at least one other parent here understands this is one of those once in a lifetime opportunities for one of your children. I just don't know what to say to get through to him. Maybe there aren't words and this is just something immature boys blow and have to take their lumps. I'm dreading that phone call or holiday visit in a couple years  when he breaks down crying because he heard she is getting married and he hasn't been able to find anyone close to what he had with her. I know that will happen.[/quote]

PP. You need to have the conversation with him. Script it and rehearse it.[/quote]
