My 18 year old and her boyfriend have split up after being together for 15 months. It was a mutal decision as they didn't see each other much and he had stopped messaging her. She was getting frustrated that she had to initiate contact all the time. I liked him and he had stayed a few times. They have agreed to stay friends but I feel angry and upset. I know it's daft but they had each other's names in their Instagram bios. My daughter said they had agreed to remove them. She hasn't removed his yet but he's deleted her name off. My daughter also said that he complained about our family saying they aren't good for her mental health (my mum and sister are quite outspoken). He was so full on in the beginning saying things like my daughter had changed his life. He just seemed to lose interest quickly and she wasn't a priority anymore. He'd go to the pub or get stoned at the park and then hope to come round. My daughter wasn't interested in any of that. I feel cross with him. My daughter has been in tears as she still likes him but he's pissed me off. She's going to uni soon, so has lots to look forward to. I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel like I welcomed him into our family.
