Name changed for this because I wanted the advice from those with older children that have been through this.
My Dd 17 has been in a fantastic happy relationship for 2 years with a boy a year older who adores her, to the point of wanting to take a gap year so they could attend Uni together. They have been inseparable seeing each other most days. Dd has now told me she wants to end the relationship because she is no longer attracted to him, but she hopes they can keep a close friendship. He’s become part of the family having spent so much time here and holidaying with us a number of times, it’s been like having a son. We all get along really well and I will miss him being around.
Does it get easier as they get older to stop yourself becoming fond of their partners.
