[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you need to see him “alone”?

Funny how you say “we” never see him alone. So you and DH are a package deal, and that’s fine, but son needs to visit “alone”?

How very interesting.[/quote]

OP and DH are married and have biological offspring(s). The son and his gf are not married and do not have biological offspring(s) together.   OP and her DH can ask to spend time along with their unmarried adult DS on a family vacation.  For all practical purposes, the gf is just a chick their DS is banging.

There is a difference.  [/quote]

Also it's highly disrespectful to refer to a serious partner of an adult who they live with as "some chic their DS is banging" this isn't some HS gf of 1 month. This is a serious adult relationship. That downplays the seriousness of their relationship.

Clearly the son loves this girl and they live together so he doesn't see her as "some chic he is banging."

I'm curious if instead of being 25 this couple was 45 would you still refer to them as "some girl he is banging?"

I mean, OP admitted her son is a “serial monogamist,” which I take to mean he whips through girlfriends with a quickness. So personally I wouldn’t be spending a lot of money on a girlfriend of less than a year—she’ll probably be tossed out with next month’s garbage.[/quote]

That's a gross way to talk about any young woman. [/quote]

Plus a serial monogamist still means when her son dates these women they are exclusive therefore should be invited accordingly. Not saying by any means the OP has to pay for her but the invitation should be there [/quote]

This is just your opinion.[/quote]

Yes that's what this forum is full of opinions. Your point? Mine happens to be that an adult in a committed relationship should be welcome for family events. Not sure why it matters if they dated 1, 5, or 10 people. If they are now exclusive with someone and serious invite them accordingly. If you want your kid to join why wouldn't you invite them?[/quote]
