I've been seeing a man, 5 years younger than me for 9m. He's never married and has no DC. He's presents quite young , in that he has no real responsibilities and enjoys an active life. That's all good for me, at my stage of life, I'm just looking for someone to have fun with and he does that well. He's very sociable and gets on well with people of all ages.
I have a 22yo son who is really struggling with life, following a major trauma. His spark has gone completely, he lost his apprenticeship and whilst he does go to his minimum wage job regularly, he spends the rest of his time on computer games. I'm proud of him for the job BTW, it's not what we (he or I) hoped for him, but he picked himself up and got a job, is reliable at it, despite his struggles.
He was never particularly sociable, lockdown broke most of his friendships and those that remained have drifted away since he's been unwell.
Anyway, BF has offered to take him out to play pool. I doubt he'll take up the offer, but it's nice that BF wants to help. Or it's odd that he thinks this struggling young man, would want to spend time with his mother's BF and that that might help?
FWIW DS won't engage with any counselling and he's been living like this for 3 years now.
