Should i tell DP?

[Fooso]

My 16 year old DSD has been sickly recently and DP thought she was just being a hypochondriac. She told me this morning that she had the contraceptive jab. I was surprised though she has been her boyfriend on and off for almost a year. Went to the docs and her sickness is not to do with the jab but she has a throat infection (I'm still not convinced as for the last 6 weeks she's been up and down). Obviously she doesn't want me to say anything to her dad, and I've said I wont. Im just not sure whether he needs to know? I am her SM her mum is in a home so her dad is very protective. Advice?

Why would he 'need to know'? She is old enough to go to the doctor herself, and to have sex with her boyfriend, both without telling her father.

Plus, if you tell him, the chances of her confiding in you in the future, maybe about things where you do need to do something to help, goes down to pretty much zero.

Oh, and do point out they should still use a condom in case of STDs...

I wouldn't tell DP. It would be different if she was 14 but at 16 that's her private medical information. While DP might want to know, it isn't his right. She clearly trusted you enough to not only tell you but not to divulge to her dad. Keep lines of communication open with DSD and you're protecting her better than DP (potentially) flying off the handle and her trust in you really reduced.

Thanks - yes you you're right. She's just so young (and not particularly mature) ... I worry... but as you say at least she will talk to me ...

If you're really worried you could say that to her, explain why you're worried , even ask her to tell her dad (unlikely I would think tho!). All of Rhodes things would be okay, but breaking her trust wouldn't be. But you already know that.

Rhodes = those!
