Son has been dumped

[GrannyBags]

Just wanted to know if anyone has practical advice. DS (11) has been dumped for his best friend and has come home so sad. First ‘proper’ relationship. The ‘plenty more fish’ approach doesn’t seem right in the circumstances. Help!

Oh, bless. I'm sure at 11 you could easily distract him with an age appropriate activity, like a videogame. Is there a fallout between him and his friend too. That needs to be mediated somehow.

He went off to school this morning with a plan to talk to his friend. He was so sad last night bless him, and there isn’t really anything you can say to help!

At age 11 he will get over it quickly.
I have a ds age 11 says he not interested in girls but in shower every night for about half an hour.
Spraying on the his dads lynx.
Says girls are yuk.
Hope that last a while longer.
I couldn't even imagine my 11 year old x a girl yet

He will quickly move on. I have a year 7 dd and she’s on her 3rd boyfriend since starting secondary! They seem to be swapping around almost daily. It’s just meeting new people and getting to know them. The first one broke up with her and I was so upset for her but two weeks later there was a new boy on the scene! As a pp said, I’d be more concerned about whether there is a friendship issue that needs resolving.
