They had 1 year relationship, he has ADHD and autism. How can I support him? He wants to go clubbing on his own. But he finds really hard to set his limits with drinking when he is upset like this. He went through a dark patch before meeting her, drinking too much going out most days, sleeping very little and had to pull out of Uni. AIBU to discourage him to go out drinking for sometime? He is just about to put his life together again and this happens. My heart hurts for him, he is understandably upset.

Of course he’s upset and of course you’re upset for him. It’s very hard when your children are hurt in love.

If he might struggle to limit his drinking, yes, discourage him, but he’s an adult so he might not take any notice. Does he have hobbies and friends so he can take his mind off it a bit. Is there any chance he might try uni again?

Could you take him out and keep him
busy like go to the cinema together, plan a little break away etc? Has he got any friends he can make plans with?

He doesn’t have many friends. He managed to transfer his degree to a Uni closer to home. He is willing to make friends at his new uni. He doesn’t have many friends. We went to the cinema today. Thank you
