[quote=Anonymous]Plus sides: it sounds like she changed colleges for him, and no vice versa. Your son is where he wants to be.

Also, if they have been in a toxic long distance relationship, heading into another toxic long distance relationship doesn’t move seem to move the needle. Maybe being to get her day in day out changes his mind.

Your kid is more likely to find friends and integrate into his college if the GF is there vs long distance, because he isn’t using every opportunity to leave campus and visit her or entertain her.

You can’t change this. So don’t offer opinions unless specifically asked. Then, be diplomatic. You don’t want him to dig in and prolong this relationship just to prove you wrong.

There will be no pressure to get married as undergrads if they are in the same school. This has time to play out. They will hopefully both grow up and change in college.

And without more specifics of “toxic” and why you disapprove, who knows?  Maybe it works, they get married, are happy, have grandkids. In which case, you don’t want to have completely alienated this girl and maybe your son. Which you will regret.

I think you are panicking prematurely. Say nothing. Do nothing. And see where things are in a couple years. Your interference and anxiety will only make this worse. [/quote]
