1. It's good that you know not to criticize - you will only push her into his arms. You are wise.

2. Brilliant people usually need non-brilliant partners, OP. All the brilliant people closest to me (my husband, my cousin, my daughter), have their best relationships with people with lower IQs than their stratospheric ones; and who have better emotional control and maturity. It's no wonder at all that she could not live with her brilliant but immature ex. My husband is older than me but is less mature and quite volatile. I am the steady hand at the rudder, with a much higher emotional quotient than his.

3. It's hard to watch your adult children make mistakes and have no control. Best of luck navigating this next part of their lives.[/quote]

Your emotional quotient is off the charts! Thanks for this kind, measured post.

I am not OP but am facing a very similar situation. As the parent of an adult child you can keep your mouth shut and have concerns at the same time.

People who are not there yet, or dodged this bullet, should not judge. [/quote]

Deeply ironic to be told not to judge in a post that is entirely about OP judging a young man as not good enough for her precious child.[/quote]
