[quote=Anonymous]OP - you should really be solving this issue in partnership with your husband instead of asking a bunch of anonymous strangers. What your son and his girlfriend are up to is pretty typical behavior for kids that age, and they will find a way to get together and have sex one way or the other. What you should be working on with your husband is what is the best path forward for teaching your immature son how to become a responsible man and what path of action will strengthen a respectful relationship between him and you. Punishments and threats at this age introduce a huge risk that you will accomplish exactly the opposite of what you intend. A better strategy might be to let him own what he did and what he is going to do about it. For instance, ask him why he felt the need to deceive you. Does he plan to deceive a future partner when he doesn’t get what he wants instead of having a productive, respectful conflict to resolve. What does he think the consequences of his actions should be. Just a few thought who is on his 4th 17 year old child right now. [/quote]
