Ridiculous emotion?

[Strawberriesandprosecco]

My ds(18) has just split up with his long term girlfriend and I’m absolutely heartbroken, it feels like grief. I love her to bits, even though the intelligent side of me would have to accept that it’s unlikely they’d be together for ever. I’m so hoping they get back together but I know that’s selfish on my part. Anyone else been through this? Does it get easier?

It definitely gets easier .Sometimes they just meet them too young but he's obviously had good taste which will hopefully continue. Just make the next ones as welcome .

How long were they together?

over 3 years

Yes I understand your sadness. My daughter split with her partner of 10 years earlier on this year they are both 27 so have been together since school and he was like a son to me. She has since moved to London, which is closer to me and couldn’t be happier.. she has met a lovely new man and he is great to her and she also stays in touch with her ex as they have a mortgage together. They often chat and giggle about dates etc and he is still around in my life to some degree and even if he wasn’t I know they’re both happy x
